Fashion icon Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 Jared was 12 years old when he got his first job as a dishwasher. He earned just £1.57 an hour. He also got his first guitar aged 12 (presumably not using the wages from his washing-up job), which was a Roland Juno-106. Snazzy! The first instrument he ever learnt to play though, was the ”old beat up piano” in his first home. He claims he spent time living on the streets of New York to get into character for his role as a drug addict in the 2000 film Requiem for A Dream. Jared also claims that the closest he’s ever come to dying involves ”a gun and some cocaine”. Jared is pro-mullet. ”When I was a kid I was king of the mullets,” he recalls. ”If you’re wearing a rock T-shirt, you’ve got to have a mullet.” Creepily, he used to break into other people’s houses and just sit there, saying: ”I found it very comforting to be in someone’s empty house.” Retro gamer Jared holds the highest score on record for a game of Sonic The Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Mega Drive. He’s been offered big bucks to get his skinny jeans off for Playgirl magazine. He’s yet to accept their offer… In 2007 he gained 62 pounds to play the role of John Lennon’s murderer Mark David Chapman in the film Chapter 27. The rapid weight gain caused him to develop gout and, unable to waddle onto set each day, he was forced to use a wheelchair. In 2008 he received a public lap dance from Paris Hilton and the pair were caught on camera swapping spit. He doesn’t use soap. His grooming regime consists of just water and occasionally shampoo. ”The smaller your bathroom bag is, the better,” he says. Jared has only ever performed karaoke once – with Courtney Love at a wedding. The tune in question? Eye Of The Tiger. All together now… He once suffered a broken nose after being trampled by his very own fans at a 30STM show. Jared’s rider requests include water, almond milk, fresh fruit, nuts and ginger. All the rock ’n’ roll essentials. He doesn’t listen to rock music, and when his band were making This Is War, he claims he didn’t listen to music at all for a whole two years. The backdrop to Jared’s Twitter page (@jaredleto) is a great white shark. The biggest great white shark ever caught was off the coast of Mexico in 2011. It was a whopping 17.9-foot long. For most shows he uses one of two custom-made McSwain guitars. They’re both engraved with the image of a gryphon drawn by Jared himself. He’s a computer geek and likes to spend his time taking them apart and putting them back together. We know who to call next time our hard drive conks out, then. Vegetarian Jared’s favorite foods include popcorn, vegetables, onion rings and hot sauce. But not burgers. Although he doesn’t drink alcohol, he does like to use it as mouthwash. We prefer Listerine ourselves. His dream dinner party guests would be God, the Devil and Natalie Portman. His pre-show ritual involves one hour of silence, one hour of stillness and then a small amount of time holding his breath. Like you do… Although heterosexual, Jared claims: ”If I saw a man and I was attracted, I would follow through with it.” And why not. He’s no Gleek, but Jared wouldn’t mind one of his songs appearing on Glee. ”It’s nice if people ask to use our song,” he says. He recently got the Latin phrase Provehito In Altum tattooed across his right collar bone. It’s the band’s motto and roughly translates into ’Launch forth into the deep’. The guests at this year’s Kerrang! Awards were given free lighters. Jared refused to accept his on the grounds that he doesn’t smoke, or use candles. Germ-phobe Jared doesn’t ’do’ hand shakes, but he is happy to go in for a hug or even an elbow bump. Last month Jared’s car was pulled over by police in Hungary and searched. They were looking for a murderer. (NB: It wasn’t Jared. Quote
