Academy Award winning actor Jared Leto will be bringing the role of Joker to life in the upcoming movie "Suicide Squad" and fans have gotten their first teaser the muscles Leto will bring to the film.
Earlier today via Instagram, the 43-year-old "Dallas Buyer's Club" star unveiled his buff upper body with bulging biceps. In the selfie uploaded, the actor looks ripped in a black sleeveless shirt with red lining and a Superman logo in the center.
You can definitely tell that the actor has been hitting the weights pretty hard with his slim waist and shapely arms with matching veins.
The image follows last week's image shared by director David Ayer. As part of the director's celebration of the DC villain's 75th Anniversary, an new character pic of Leto was unveiled.
In a twitpic, we see the actor/ musician in complete character sporting tattoos on his topless body, a purple glove on his right hand, green hair and a wild expression. You will also see blackened teeth, along with a tattoo that says "Damaged" on the top of the actor's forehead.
