Jared Leto felt compelled to temporarily pause filming Tron: Ares because of one dude.
Indeed, the Thirty Seconds to Mars singer was just bowled over by the fact that his costar was Jeff Bridges.
“I remember the first day I worked with Jeff, I had to yell, ‘Cut!'” Jared recalled to E! News’ Will Marfuggi in a joint interview with Jeff at the Los Angeles premiere of Tron: Ares Oct. 6, “and they came over, they were like, ‘What’s wrong?’ and I was like, ‘I couldn’t stop smiling.’ Because I’m working with him for the first time, and I’m in the costume, the sets look incredible.'”
And that enthusiasm went both ways. Jeff—who reprised his role of Kevin Flynn in Tron: Ares—admitted that he and Jared the two “hit it off right from the top.”
In fact, when the Big Lebowski star, 75, first met Jared, he immediately made a point to emphasize acknowledge that 53-year-old—who played the titular advanced artificial intelligence program sent into the physical world—utilizes method acting on set.
