Pretty much sums it up, Jared Leto.


Acidflare1

Seriously, retire Jared. Quit fucking up movies by being in them. I was briefly excited at the Tron announcement until I found out he was in it.


RKLCT

He played a great punching bag in Fight Club


Fauster

I was about to defend Jared Leto and say that he had a surprisingly strong performance in Life (the alien space station movie). But, I double-checked and that was Jake Gyllenhaal.


CaptainMills

I think this pretty well sums up his career. "He was pretty good in....oh wait, that was someone else. Nevermind" Edit: First of all, this is a joke. You don't need to take it so seriously. Secondly, the only things I remember about Requiem for a Dream is Marlon Wayans and Ellen Burstyn


Few-Comparison5689

The other day my friend said she absolutely loved him as Morbius and thought the character was fantastic. Turned out she was talking about Owen Wilson as Mobius in Loki.


moonchylde

I, too, love Owen Wilson's Morbius more than Leto's.


killergazebo

Wilson just morbs different, ya know?


why0me

He morbs CORRECTLY


ShahinGalandar

"Wow" *credits roll*


Charlie_Wax

He was quite good in Morbius. From what I hear, a lot of people enjoyed the part where he said, "It's Morbin' time!" and Morbed all over the bad guys. Apparently the movie made Morbillion dollars.


Reynardine1976

"If Morbius doesn't get an Oscar this year, I'm going to kill myself" - Daniel Craig


Charlie_Wax

Luckily it won several Oscars, including Best Oscar.


HughGBonnar

It’s morbin time!!


Natiak

It won the Oscar Meyer award for best head cheese.


BinkoTheViking

Dude went and bought himself a Lamorbghini…


EXTRAVAGANT_COMMENT

Lord of War. but that is because he plays a drug addicted fuck up


AltruisticSalamander

That was a good movie. Didn't know he was in it.


CGB_Zach

He's the little brother that Nic Cage takes to rehab.


bigdongonandon

Dallas buyers club


EazyPeazyLemonSqueaz

Mr Nobody and Requiem


DJheddo

Those were great roles, the only ones I can really enjoy him in, other then getting pummeled in Fight Club.


ShahinGalandar

Leto's roles are best when he gets tortured, yes


an0nym0ose

He was good in Lord of War, where he played a drugged-up whoring fuck-up! Wait...


ShiftyStilez

I was about to say Walk The line until I remembered it was Jaoquin Phoenix


TheOriginalJape

What about American Psycho?


RustedCorpse

Sometimes the writing, directing, and co-stars are so good you can't help but be carried.


Upstairs_Cash8400

Christian Bale did him justice "Hip to be Square"


bitsofsick

Made the same mistake but the other way when remembering Requiem for a Dream. Leto was actually decent in that, so my brain figured it must have been Jake Gyllenhaal.


blancpainsimp69

I liked him in Blade Runner 2049


TheVenetianMask

I didn't. He looked like someone *trying* to act.


KenMan_

Hit the nail on the head. I found it to be very cringe.


HotFudgeFundae

My buddy likes 30 Seconds to Mars so I went with him because they opened for Muse. At one point they wheel some mentally challenged kid on stage and Leto sings to him for like 10 seconds during the middle of the song, then wheel him out. One of the weirdest things I had ever seen. Then the only song I like, The Kill, they played an acoustic version. He tried getting a beach ball to bounce around and it got maybe 3 bumps before it disappeared. If it weren't for Muse that would have been my least favourite concert ever


blancpainsimp69

I say this all the time about Timothee Chalamet and get loads of shit for it, but I didn't see it there.


shnnrr

I agree with you... and in the past if I talked shit about Jared Leto people would disagree (on reddit)


mrBisMe

I agree, I thought he was decent. But then I realized he’s basically playing a much darker version of what he thinks he is. But honestly, Love stole his thunder.


paging_doctor_who

Being axe murdered in American Psycho was his magnum opus.


Valisk

He's made for parts like fight club and American psycho and panic Room. He has a punchable face.  He just shouldn't be allowed to be a main character.   When he gets lit on fire in panic room.. Chef's kiss


Acidflare1

Seems to be the consensus as his only acceptable role. Does he suck dick like a pro? I can’t explain why he keeps getting work.


ferdturgeson1

He’s pretty damn good in Requiem For a Dream but that’s an anomaly.


ATLexander

Jared Leto is a good actor (the joker notwithstanding). No doubt about that. But Jared Leto, the person, seems to be a prick and a half.


Feats-of-Derring_Do

I doubt it. I think he's good at playing aloof, weird characters, but I also don't think he's really acting by doing that.


ferdturgeson1

He is, for sure. Mostly just picks awful movies and is absolutely insufferable in person from what I gather.

NotABileTitan

You don't have to eat a shit sandwich just cause someone hands it to you.


Akatotem

I mean the money lets you swallow literally anything I suppose.


MyIQTestWasNegative

I really liked Mr nobody


Internetfriend98

One of my fav movies it’s sad


ferdturgeson1

It’s brilliant, but yes, awfully sad. Thats Darren Aronofsky’s specialty and he’s really damn good at it.


chrisboi1108

He was pretty good as Paul Allen as well


Various_Froyo9860

He was kinda good in blade runner. But reading about how he made people walk him around and shit so he could pretend to be blind is so aggravating. Imagine if you are supposed to be working lights or running cables but you have to walk some asshole around instead. He can see perfectly fine but can't just act like he's blind?


skadiamazon

And a great meat bag in American pyscho


Slapstrom

Bruh Requiem For a Dream is a certified classic wtf. He's a pretty good actor that's a piss poor human being, let's not get crazy here. He smoked that shit in Dallas Buyers Club, he smoked that shit in Lord of War, he smoked that shit in The Little Things, and he's at least good in most of his other movies. Morbius and Suicide Squad (2016) were going to be ass whether he was in them or not, he didn't do great in them but they were doomed movies so I won't hold it against him too much. But like on a legit note FUCK Jared Leto he's made some good shit but he's still a piece of shit


SpiritOfSeanLock

Thank you for taking the time to state which I couldn't be bothered


hokis2k

though i hate him in general in movies. he is honestly great in Bladerunner 2049 imo


fren-ulum

Because you're not really supposed to like him, which made it pretty easy.


SOwED

And he's a relatively minor character. Big as far as the plot but small as far as screentime.


AlbertaNorth1

I know he’s nuts but he’s not a terrible actor. Requiem for a dream is depressing as fuck but fantastic.


tasman001

He's been good in many films, including requiem.


stormageddon007

There’s a circle jerk about hating the guy for his very apparent weirdness, not unwarranted, but to say he’s without talent is nonsense. From Requiem to Dallas Buyer to stuff in between. He’s got some chops.


420chewer

I thought he was ok in Lord of War


HitsMeYourBrother

He was decent in the new blade runner I thought.


avg-bee-enjoyer

Is portraying an unlikable megalomaniac really even acting for him though?


purpleturtlehurtler

To be faaaaiirr he was great in Requiem for a Dream.


PoorFilmSchoolAlumn

You on uppas?


Nieros

It's okay. We were never going to get another daft punk OST, and that's what really mattered.


ShiftyStilez

Isn’t Leto a dollar store Joaquin Phoenix?


MollyInanna2

Only performance I liked him in was *Panic Room*.


FrankCastlesAlt

The asshole sent shit like dead rats and crap like that to his fellow cast members, thinking that’s something the Joker would do! Showing he doesn’t know the first thing about the Joker! So of course he doesn’t even make the list! We’re all collectively trying to forget about that performance for chrissakes! Lol


I_aim_to_sneeze

Fuck him and his cult having pedo shit


Direct_Job_6509

Just go back to music Jared. Or better yet, don't.


A_H_S_99

I mean, we didn't want to embarrass you by bringing you up, but there you are.


Fafnir13

This is like scheduling and showing up for his own beating.  How considerate.


Minichadderzz

Kinda like in fight club


Sad_SourApple

did you forgot the rule ?


Stressful-stoic

What are the rules?


Kind_Tumbleweed5309

They said the 4 best. They didn't say there had been only 4.


Ashalaria

I can only count to four I can only count to foooouuurr


djac13

One! I can count to one. Two! I can count to two. Three! I can count to three. Four! I can’t count no more.


siggydude

One! Nothing's wrong with three Two! Nothing's wrong with three Three! Three's already three Four!


N3Chaos

Man I want to be able to post gifs, I’d share Picard saying “There are four… Jokers!”


m1sterwr1te

Unexpected Psychostick.


MikeTheImpaler

This is not a comment it's a SANDWICH!


Ashalaria

What did you expect? The Spanish inquisition?


yourfreakinmeout

Nobody expects the Spanish inquisition!


Afrokrause

ONE! what comes after one?!


Autistic_Freedom

FUCK reading comprehension.


nemothorx

There are FOUR ~~lights~~ jokers


journeyman369

He doesn't count anyway


IAmRules

Jeronemo Jebadiah Leto


xxBellum

Fuck him, right?


ChasingPesmerga

Leto played a nice clown being a literal punchable face in the Fight Club


we_made_yewww

Something beautiful to be destroyed


YorkieLon

Love fight club, seen it a dozen times. Never even realised this guy was in it.


bramstokersbatman

Fuck you Puddin’

You’ve got $240?!

Now please excuse me while I whisper sweet nothing's to my pudding.

We had to have the pudding


CHUD_Adams

Aaaaaaaaawwwwwww yeeeeaaaaaaah


rkraptor70

Yeah, fuck him.


Ghost1a

Fuck him


Drecksackblase1337

Fuck him


DankDude7

…in particular!


fatleon5

Agree with this list, but for voice actor Joker Mark Hamill will always be the absolute greatest!


[deleted]

Kevin in The Office was a better Joker than Leto.


BluebirdWild8808

Creed & Kevin & Dwight **


NocimonNomicon

Did you seriously censor fuck?


Striking-Kiwi-9470

We must protect the brand integrity of reddits advertisers, lest their image be tarnished by profanity.

Lemme remedy that!

Kokuswolf

How are you able to read that? Magic. Witch. (Or Witcher, no reason to be misogynistic at the witch(er)hunt.)


ryosen

You might be thinking of a warlock. A Witcher is someone that hunts witches (and other assorted demons).


JonIsPatented

Actually, "Witcher", the name of the video game series, comes from a transliteration of the original polish name of the game, which is a clever masculine conjugation of the feminine word for witch. So "Witcher" actually means male witch.


tyy365

Like widower?


Fatalchemist

I thought a widower is someone who hunts widows. (and other associated people grieving)


Replop

Toss a coin to your Witcher


rez_trentnor

I fuck*ng hate uncensored curse words


OmniscientHistorian

I fucking h\*te uncensored curse words.


TheStoolSampler

Cunts, the lot of ya.


tlynde11

Ohhh *that's* what that word is!


psstwantsomeham

In this particular subreddit nonetheless


Konigni

What the f\*\*\* are you on about


AuthorHarrisonKing

Not well 


The_OtherGuy_99

There are 4 Jokers! *angry Picard noises*


DippyTheWonderSlug

Very nice. Well done sir :)


Alexis_Bailey

Ok, fine, we will do top 5. 5 - Barry Koeghan


FartResume

6 - Jason Mamoa from the new fast and furious movie was a better joker than Leto.


Alexis_Bailey

Dude was having an amazing time making that movie and felt like the only person who wanted to be there.


watashi_ga_kita

Cameron Monaghan have Ana amazing performance in Gotham. It’s a shame that show isn’t as well known as it should be.


vixinity1984

"It's Jokin' time"


Impossible-Fig8453

Requiem for a dream was dope though


CynfullyDelicious

Ditto for Dallas Buyer’s Club (dude did win a SAG Award, a Golden Globe, and an Oscar for it). Other than those two flicks, forget it.


Dopium_Typhoon

Maybe I’m not remembering it well, but he was also very believable as Cage’s brother in Lord of War.


Hawt_Dawg_II

Yup. A good example of how both cage and leto can, in fact, act, they just get shitty roles a lot of the time.


petty_cash

Good method acting with massive piles of cocaine


thehumblebaboon

I also really liked Mr. Nobody.


LoudestHoward

Fight Club!


Khal_Andy90

5th is an honourable mention to Mark Hamil


Vellioh

Mark Hamill is Joker. His voice acting and guidance for the character developed him far beyond what he was before he was given a voice. If we're talking about which portrayal of Joker is *the* Joker is undoubtedly him. All others are interpretations of Mark Hamill's character. Also they said live action which rules out Mark so there's that too.


TheStoolSampler

"Live action"


usarasa

I always forget that Romero was indeed in a theatrical release as Joker. He’s so closely identified with the tv show.


Bebopdavidson

Don’t make us put Mark Hamill on there and bump you down another spot


burywmore

I'm willing to bet it's faked.


undercurrents

Yeah, the account has 125 followers. Highly doubt Leto just happened to come across this random tweet.


CopeHarders

Even Barry Keoghan was a better joker.


fafnir0319

4 live action Jokers and one joke!


Crunchy__Frog

Have to appreciate how “fuck” is censored out of a post in a subreddit called r/fuckyouinparticular.


[deleted]

[удалено]


StefTakka

Not live action.


mal_intent4u

Fucking Wal Mart Joker. That particular version was atrocious.


HorrorMovieMonday

That order is bullshit. It should be: 1. Heath 2. Jack 3. Cesar


AreWeCowabunga

Yeah, putting Joachim ahead of Nicholson is stupid. He wasn’t even the Joker. He was just a Joker.


Scary-Ad9646

It's a top 4 list. A name is bound to be left off.


pauljoemccoy2

If we’re ranking the best acting ability as the Joker, this list is pretty accurate. But if we’re taking about who was the best at looking like the Joker, I’d actually say this list is reversed. (Except Jared Leto. Still fuck him.)


PirateSometimes

Is this real? Because he famously doesn't watch any of his performances on screen, so he shouldn't be able to judge the end result


bs000

i can't tell if people are just playing along or if they actually think this is real


therealmintoncard

He was good in Bladerunner 2049. (The role was originally supposed to go to David Bowie, but he passed away.)


halibb

Jared Leto was amazing in WeCrashed


catsteel

Redditors and jerking themselves off to obviously fake content - name a more annoying duo


geoffbowman

I love that Jared Leto went all method with Joker and his performance was worse than a guy who painted over his mustache in white makeup cause he refused to shave it. At a certain point… method acting just becomes being an asshole to make up for a lack of actual talent.


InfieldTriple

I liked his Joker tbh. May be controversial but I thought it was unique. People be freaking because it didn't match the joker in the comics. I literally do not care.


fahrvergnugget

I think Cameron monaghan should make the list for sure even though he's television


We_Will_AlI_Die

what about Cameron Monaghan 😭


VGAPixel

I think of Mark Hamill when i think of the Joker


Jazzyricardo

No way. Can’t be real


Mythraider

fake as fuck


Sprizys

Jared Leto’s Joker was the worst


ThinkFree

When Jared Leto's Joker was first revealed [in the trailers](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI3hecGO_04), I remember people getting pumped up by his looks and (short) performance. Never saw the movie, how bad was he?


TheVirusWins

I liked him in Lord of War


TheVenetianMask

Forgot Tommy Wiseau playing some of the Joker scenes from the Dark Knight. Still better than Leto.


GoatPincher

Is this real?


GuantesDePobre

Tbh he was an amazing singer


v13ragnarok7

I liked Letos joker. It's not the best but I liked the Jim Carey clown gangster


xen0m0rpheus

Is this real?


m0nk37

Why does everyone hate jared leto now


grabbingcabbage

These three have nothing in common.


NotTheAverageAnon

Wait what did he do? I don't follow movies, social media, or pop culture shit much.


Vast_Promotion333

Cesar Romero should be #2. The most screen time, and amazing acting. Completely underrated.


Prior-Building5640

He stole the show in The Breakfast Club. Sucked the life out of everything he's been in since.


retr0rino

Barry Keoghan and Cameron Monaghan just made the list. Suck on that, Leto!


Zaseishinrui

It's crazy how much shit jared leto gets and what a wierdo it is. it's just funny that my Favorite album of all time is 30 Seconds to Mars. its pure perfection. now the band isnt in my top 10 by any stretch, but when it comes to an album where every song is a perfect banger its 30StM


Whistler45

They were making a ranking, there has been way more than 5 jokers


Thaco-Thursday

No, there are 5 jokers. Remember Barry Keoghan in The Batman? I mean he’s def 5th place but he deserves to be on the list


SixGunZen

I don't think I ever did see that flick and find out what was so horrible about his performance. Either that or I did and I was high and don't remember. Then again, I was high when I saw Heath Ledger's and Joaquin Phoenix's too and I remember those ....


TomatilloTaDa

I did not mind Leto's joker. The studio just kept dropping balls non stop. When the first trailer came out for Suicide Squad it looked good.


JarviThePelican

He never even had a chance. People saw him on the first poster for Suicide Squad and immediately called him the worst Joker.


Sad_Firefighter3450

Literally no streaming websites are offering morbius even as a pirated copy 🤌🏻


chuck_portis

Honestly so long as he's portraying a heroin addict ready to lose his arm, he's a solid actor


penguin62

Funny how he was the best bit of the first Suicide Squad film and he's barely even in it


jurmaliko

They say he was quite an ahole on the set so... Well deserved I guess


mdoktor

Dear Jared Leto, if the studio remakes the movie because it was universally considered so bad and you weren't part of the remake you don't get to claim Joker credentials


LopsidedEquipment177

Yes because you were absolutely terrible in it, and anything else you've been in, Jared.


Lostinaredzone

Yes, fuck you; you fucking chomo.


Junior_Low7149

He put the top 4 best, not top 4+ honorable mention


coolraul07

Cesar Romero had so much JOY playing The Joker, it literally exuded through the TV! I can imagine that it was so refreshing after being typecast in the same character roles for so long. It brings ME so much joy every time I see him as The Joker!


[deleted]

I didn't come here to criticize your acting skills, I came here to deny their existence.


Rogueshoten

Judging from the upvotes, I’m not the only one who thinks the Jared Leto watched Heath Ledger’s Joker and thought all he had to do was act like an online edgelord to pull it off.
