Jared Leto: “The secret of youth is sleep, food and the blood of virgins. Like a cucumber: Lucy Liu and other young-looking stars The main films of actor Jared Leto

On December 26, the modern “Caesar” - a person who knows how to do several things at once and be talented in different fields of art - Jared Leto turned 43 years old. 2014 was a very successful year for the actor and singer: he received an Oscar and went on a world tour with the band 30 Seconds To Mars. Despite the stress and strain, it seems that Jared does not age a day. What is the secret of his eternal youth and activity? We’ll try to find out, and at the same time we’ll tell you about several other celebrities who, as spiteful critics whisper, “sold their souls to the devil” in order to remain forever young.

Jared Leto, 43 years old

Fans are wondering how this amazingly gifted person with such a “warm” surname manages to look 10-15 years younger than his true age. Some people know Leto primarily for his roles in films, others - primarily as the leader of the rock band 30 Seconds To Mars, but for both of them he is also known for his super-creative approach to his own appearance.

For example, one of Jared's latest image features is shoulder-length hair, which makes him incredibly similar to Jesus Christ, as most people imagine him and who in the human mind will always be 33 years old and not a day older. Fans noted the “trick”, and Jared liked their opinion!

Jared himself admits that a vegan diet helps him stay “forever young.” Leto began to lead this lifestyle after filming the film about the Olympic athlete-runner “Prefontaine” back in 1997, and after taking part in the cult film “Requiem for a Dream” about a young drug addict, Jared realized how important it is to cultivate healthy habits.

However, in the last few months, Jared Leto decided to grow a thick beard, which immediately “aged” him by several years. Either this was done for the sake of filming the new film “Suicide Squad”, or Jared took the title of his own documentary mini-series “In wildlife“, but we hope that by mid-March Leto will still shave off these thickets on her cheeks and will appear on the stage of the Olimpiysky Sports Complex in Moscow in the image of an unfading handsome man familiar to fans!

Tom Cruise, 52 years old

It's hard to believe that Tom Cruise turned 52 this year! In a recent interview, the actor was asked how he manages to look twice his age - as if Tom, like a real superhero, managed to stop time or at least his own biological clock!

Perhaps Tom Cruise's youth was first extended by his ex-wife Katie Holmes (the age difference between the former married couple- 16 years old), then new lover- A 22-year-old actor's assistant named Emily. “We just didn’t recognize Tom after meeting Emily for a few weeks! “He’s really in love,” one of Cruise’s London friends admitted to the British portal Mail Online after paparazzi footage appeared on the Internet on the set of the film “Mission: Impossible 5,” where Tom constantly spent time with Emily. It seems that the girl is not embarrassed by the fact that Cruz is old enough to be her father - he looks almost the same age as her!

Ian Somerhalder, 36 years old

For the first time, fans saw Ian Somerhalder in JJ Abrams' ambitious project Lost. The girls especially liked the role of the aspiring actor - “handsome handsome guy”, but alas, the creators of the series decided to kill the hero Ian in the first season of the show. But a few years later, Somerhalder “resurrected” in every sense - his career took a new turn when the actor was invited to play the role of Damon Salvatore in the teen series “The Vampire Diaries.”

The casting managers were attracted not only by the sexy look that Ian casts from under his brows at his on-screen (and not only - the colleagues began dating almost immediately after the end of season 2 of the series, but broke up two years later) beloved Nina Dobrev, but also by the fact that Ian seemed granted eternal youth, like his vampire hero.

Due to the fact that Somerhalder looks 10 years younger, he also chooses girls in the appropriate age range. His ex-lover Nina Dobrev is 25 years old. new passion Nikki Reed, by the way, who also became popular after appearing in the vampire saga “Twilight,” is 26. Ian looks very harmonious next to her young friends and, apparently, is not going to grow old, especially since the series “The Vampire Diaries” has been extended for several more seasons.

Ashton Kutcher, 36 years old

Young father Ashton Kutcher, it seems, will always be perceived by fans as just that - “young.” Over the past few years, his charming “boyish” smile has not faded at all, despite the stress he suffered - a divorce from his wife Demi Moore, who, by the way, was much older than Kutcher.

Kutcher himself, it seems, does not consider himself young - recently, while on vacation, paparazzi captured him reading David Stipp’s book “The Youth Pill.” It talks about how scientists are looking for ways to combat age-related changes.

Apparently, Ashton is thinking about how to remain as active over the years, because soon his little daughter Wyatt will say her first word, start walking, then running... In addition, Kutcher’s fiancée, actress Mila Kunis, recently said in an interview that “Ashton will be the one to deal with Wyatt’s teenage problems.” And for such important things a man needs energy!

Enrique Iglesias, 39 years old

This spring, fans of the Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias could not believe their ears when the artist began talking about his new concert tour on the American talk show Today and mentioned that he was “getting old.”

“I have a hard time with the first two weeks of the tour,” Enrique noted. - I notice that from fiery dances Bones and joints begin to ache... At this moment I say to myself, “Stop, you need to rest more, you’re not young anymore!”

Fans would argue with Enrique - the Spaniard manages to maintain excellent shape not only physically, but also creatively. Most recently, Iglesias performed again in Moscow with a fresh album, Sex And Love (dedicated to his beloved, Russian Anna Kournikova) and, according to the unanimous opinion of the guests of the show, he looked and danced no worse than 15 years ago, when the sultry macho burst into the charts and into our hearts with the song Bailamos.

Jared Joseph Leto is an American dramatic actor, music video director and leader of the alternative band 30 Seconds to Mars. His dedication is impressive - he spares neither his psyche nor his body, trying to get used to the character as much as possible.

Constance instilled in the children a passion for art. At some point, she became interested in hippie ideology and entered the circle of creative people. The Leto brothers were surrounded by musicians, actors, artists and photographers, and they themselves early years played music.

His hero is a heroin-addicted guy from Brooklyn who is being raised by his elderly mother (Ellen Burstyn). He has a girlfriend (Jennifer Connelly) and best friend(Marlon Waynes), and each of the characters has a cherished dream: the main character and his friend want to get rich, his mother wants to get on TV, and Jared’s hero’s girlfriend dreams of opening a boutique.

After graduating from school, Jared already decided that he wanted to devote his life to creativity, but he didn’t start with acting career, but from painting. He entered the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and later transferred to the University of Fine Arts in the unofficial capital of America, New York. It was there that Leto, while still a student, wrote the script and starred in his first film, “Crying Joy.” After graduating from university, he moved to Los Angeles, where he decided to become a professional actor. Before landing a role in the film "Patchwork Quilt" in 1995, the actor became a "young talent" with one of the most interesting persons thanks to filming the series “My So-Called Life”.
Hollywood producers decided to rely on the young talent, and soon such serious works as “The Thin Red Line”, “Urban Legends”, “Fight Club”, “Girl Interrupted”, “American Psycho” were released.

DOES HE KNOW WHAT HIS LAST NAME MEANS IN RUSSIAN? - Yes, my friends. It means "summer". Which, of course, is very nice, but everyone who knows this word in Russian considers it their duty to surprise me with such news. Welcome to this club! WHO DOES HE CONSIDER HIMSELF: A MUSICIAN OR AN ACTOR? - To be honest, I don’t think about myself very much at all to consider myself someone. There is work, and I do it. And when I disappear... just erase my name from everywhere. The less they remember about me, the better. ABOUT THE FACT THAT NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE IS SO SMOOTH - I just flew back from the States, it’s night there now, and I’m terribly sleepy, but I have to give an interview. A slight cough has been tormenting me for two months now. Or here’s another thing: I grew up in a very poor family. I was born in Louisiana, my brother, my mother and I lived on welfare. Do you know what this is? Grocery cards to buy food in the store. Perhaps all this will bring relief to those who consider me so lucky. ABOUT THE SECRETS OF SUCCESS - Of course, in all this there was a certain amount of luck and maybe a little talent, but the main part is
hard work. Although from the outside it doesn’t seem so: people see the result, not the process. HOW DOES HE MANAGE TO LOOK FRESH? - Good diet. I think it all depends on how you feel about yourself. We take care of ourselves, eat well, we have healthy sleep. At the same time, we travel a lot, and the schedule is very tight... You know, I think it’s all sleep, food, mood and, of course, the blood of virgins. Well, or not necessarily virgins. ABOUT BLONDES - Well, if we talk about blondes, then, perhaps, the most beautiful was Grace Kelly. She was perfect. Well, Scarlett Johansson stands out among modern blondes. ON DRUG AND PROSTITUTION LEGALIZATION - I think people can do whatever they want in their own home as long as it doesn't harm others. But if I lived in Amsterdam, I wouldn’t want to see these coffee shops and these prostitutes around me, because against the backdrop of such beautiful city they look like piles of crap. I don't care if it's legal or not, but it looks like a pigsty... ABOUT THE SLOGAN "LIVE FAST, DIE YOUNG" - Maybe living a little longer would be nice. My slogan is “Live fast, die old.” ABOUT LIFE - I realized that I didn’t understand a damn thing! And every year I understand this more and more clearly. Apparently, when I turn a hundred years old, I will understand that I am dumb as a stump!
