Clash Issue 105 Jared Leto

HARDER! FASTER! In the third installment of this week’s four cover drops for the brand new Issue 105, which celebrates those who do things differently, who challenge the mainstream with a unique and innovative way of thinking, we are proud as punch to present the Academy Award-winning provocateur and ultimate renaissance man, Jared Leto. 

On the eve of the release of the first album in over four years from his band Thirty Seconds To Mars, we meet the actor/singer that has remained an enigmatic and compelling talent whose prudent pursuits have consistently afforded him a pan-generational iconic status for almost a quarter of a century. 

“I like to be challenged,” he tells Clash of his attraction to projects. “I like to be provoked creatively, and I like an opportunity that pushes me to a new place and teaches me something. I love to learn, and it’s a good opportunity when you’re doing these things to be slightly off balance, to be on uncertain creative grounds… And it’s not just the result, it’s the process of how do you do these things, how do you prepare for these things, how do you craft and figure out the production and the technical side of things that is part of the journey itself.”

Also in this potent issue are features with Gucci Mane, Marilyn Manson, Lil Peep, Vanessa White, Moses Sumney, Denzel Curry, Jessie Reyez, Tom Grennan, Paul Anderson, Jimmy Cliff, Wyclef Jean, Ty Dolla $ign, Bootsy Collins, and much more.
