Taking on a materialistic gangster persona, Leto’s performance divided fans in last year’s Suicide Squad, but what did he make of his turn?
Now in a shocking reveal, in a recent interview for Blade Runner 2049, the star revealed that he’s not seen the movie.
Speaking with SyfyWire, Leto said: “No, I never did.”

Leto continued: “I just think with watching your own films, it can be too self-conscious of a process.
“You either like what you did and you're prone to repeat it, or you didn't like it, and it can make you self-conscious.
“I’m not sure how much win there is for me. But I read the scripts, so I know what's going to happen.”
The actor is due to reprise his role in an upcoming Joker and Harley Quinn movie, which Margot Robbie has teased.

The actress said: “I’m personally a sucker for a love story. In any iteration.
“I think people enjoy seeing two characters who, in Harley and Joker's case, would die for one another. It's kind of romantic in a messed up way."
