Things We Learned at the Gothams, Jared Leto Edition
November 27, 2012

Jared Leto at the Gothams on Monday night.

There were few surprises at the Gotham Awards on Monday evening, no best-picture ties or debuts of future comedy duos.
As expected, “Beasts of the Southern Wild” was a big winner; filmmaker Benh Zeitlin took home two trophies, breakthrough director and the inaugural Bingham Ray memorial prize, which comes with $25,000. “Making this movie, I had unprecedented freedom,” Mr. Zeitlin said on his first trip to the podium. “I think that freedom has been what people have responded to.” He added that he hoped more filmmakers got the chance to make movies unencumbered by financial and creative constraints, as he did. (See the list of winners here.)
As usual there were comments about low budgets – Mark Duplass, a star and producer of “Your Sister’s Sister,” which won best ensemble, noted that his Hollywood co-stars, Emily Blunt and Rosemarie DeWitt, worked for just $100 a day, “because they wanted to make a cool piece of art with us” – and that indie film was underappreciated. As the host, Mike Birbiglia, put it in his opening monologue: “We’re here tonight because if we don’t give ourselves these awards, who will?”
Still, the evening, which functions as a convivial get-together as much as an awards show, offered some high points and new tidbits. Here, a list of the things we learned at our fourth consecutive Gothams, Part 1:
Jared Leto is an award-winning documentary filmmaker. Under the pseudonym Bartholomew Cubbins, Mr. Leto, the actor and frontman of the band Thirty Seconds to Mars, made “Artifact,” the story of the group fighting to get out of its contract with the record label, EMI, which sued it for $30 million. The suit was later settled and the band made a concept album, “This Is War.” The film had its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September and picked up the audience award at the Gothams. In his acceptance speech, Mr. Leto, sporting a ponytail and nail polish, thanked his mother, for teaching him how to lead a creative life.
Jared Leto has a lot of devoted Twitter fans. Upon learning of his win online, many replied that they were in tears, especially at his thanking of his mom. Mr. Leto and his date were seated at the Bagger’s table; they did not return after he won.
@JaredLeto You brought me to tears with all ur tweets. Jared, how can you be such a wonderful person? Thank you for e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g.
Jared Leto is starving himself – apparently for a role in “Dallas Buyers Club” with Matthew McConaughey, about the first users of the AIDS drug AZT – and yet still has a sense of humor.
“I haven’t eaten in 21 days,” he told Mr. Birbiglia, after his opening monologue, “and that made me laugh.”

Jared Leto Says No One Passed Out from Not Eating on Set of “Dallas Buyer’s Club”
11/27/12


Upsets began early last night at the Gotham Awards at Cipriani Wall Street when the first award, the Audience Award, went to directorBartholomew Cubbins for his film “Artifact.” He beat out favored “Beasts of the Southern Wild” directed by Benh Zeitlin. Even Cubbins was shocked. “I feel like ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ should be up here with me,” he said. The movie is about the rock group 30 Seconds to Mars, fronted by musician-actor Jared Leto (“My So Called Life”).
Cubbins, in fact, is none other than Leto’s pseudonym. When Leto/Cubbins took the stage, most of the audience didn’t know what was going on. Leto is emaciated. (Editor’s note: he actually looks like a young Courteney Cox.) The musician-turned-actor-turned director was unrecognizable; he’s become gaunt for his first movie role in five years, as a transsexual in “Dallas Buyers Club.” He was so skinny that few journalists bothered interviewing him because they didn’t recognize who he was. The only give away that it was Leto was the actor’s piercing blue eyes. The actor, who was slender to begin with, dropped the weight because it was essential for his part in the film as a transgendered person.
The star of “Dallas,” Matthew McConaughey, who plays a man diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, became even skinnier than Leto.  Pictures that have been circulating of the “Magic Mike” star are downright scary. Asked if people dropped like flies from hunger on the set, Leto said, “No one passed out.”
Leto explained how he prepared for the role. “I waxed my body and my entire eyebrows too. Feel if you want, nice and smooth,” Leto said, and motioned to a reporter to touch the back of his hand. “I just immersed myself in their culture and the people and I hope I can represent them as honorably as possible.”

A highlight of the evening was Matt Damon’s tribute and his very funny speech. (Also honored were Marion Cotillard, David O’Russell and Jeff Skoll of Participant Media). In the press room, the good-natured actor batted back questions that ranged from mundane to silly to surreal.
How does it feel at his still very young age to be honored for his career when he’s only, hopefully, half way through it? “I hope this is like a buoy marker. Like kind of a half-time thing and that I can do this for another 15 years. That would be cool.”
Fame can stunt some people, another journalist said. How did he guard against that?
“I have a team of people who do that for me,” he deadpanned.
Watching footage of his career tonight were there moments when he forgot what he’d done or moments that made him cringe with embarrassment. “I watch it and I just try to think, like who they don’t have a deal with? Who won’t release their footage, kind of like, ‘Those bastards!” (Clearly there was no problem getting footage from his classic ‘The Legend of Bagger Vance.’)
In his speech the actor mentioned how he got a free Calvin Klein suit early in his career. Someone asked what was his biggest fashion transformation? Was it the suit? “My wife would probably tell you that I haven’t transformed at all fashion wise. There are these things where they give you a suit, so it looks like you know what the hell you’re doing, but there are plenty of paparazzi shots of me walking around in my own clothes that prove that I have absolutely no fashion sense.”
Whose suit is he wearing tonight? “Calvin Klein again,” Damon said. “I actually forgot to say that because that was what made me think of it. I was putting it on and I saw it was Calvin Klein. You know it was another free suit. Again, that surreal part of my life.”
In an alternate universe, if you were elected president, a reporter started to ask, when Damon interrupted her with, “Can I fly? As long as we’re in an alternate universe can I have some superpowers?”
No, what would you do, the journalist asked? “What would I do if I were the president or if I could fly?”
As for whether it would be surreal if he and Ben Affleck — who won Oscars together in 1998 for writing “Good Will Hunting”– faced off against each other at the Oscars, Damon replied, “There’s no against at that point.”

Leto Opens Up About His 'Dallas' Transformation


Jared Leto has been one of Hollywood's most desired men since breaking out in 1994's My So-Called Life, but he's developed a profound respect for women as a result of his latest role.
In Dallas Buyers Club, Leto plays a transsexual named Rayon and tells ET the process of transforming into her has been life changing. "It's a lot of work to be a pretty little girl. I have a newfound respect for women in general," he said at The IFP Gotham Independent Film Awards.
"I waxed my entire body, including my eyebrows. I've lost a lot of weight because I'm playing a young person with AIDS. It's been challenging but really inspiring too." Leto told me that it was the opportunity to tell this story that lured him back to acting.
"I haven't made a movie in 5 years. I thought it was a beautifully written script [and] a wonderful character, who I just fell in love with. I figured if I was going to come back and act again, this was the one to do it."
Clearly Matthew McConaughey felt similarly about this story, as he recently revealed the startling 38-pound weight loss he underwent to play an AIDS patient. "I feel good, now," McConaughey said. "Overall, probably got 35 percent less energy. The tough part, there have been plateaus."
"Getting past 170 was really hard, but then once you get into the 167, the next 7 come off easy. Getting past 160, really hard. But then you fly down to 150. Getting past 150 was really hard. And then, bam, got down to 143 and that's where I want to be. Once you get past the plateau, the body seems to understand, 'OK this is where we're living now, this is where we are,' so the energy rises."
Dallas Buyers Club is due in theaters next year.

"My mom showed me that being a creative person was completely unreasonble, but ok"
"Thanks to all those who voted online! And thanks to the most inspiring city in the whole world, New York City"
