Jared Leto has somewhat of a reputation for his willingness to put his body through hell for a
movie role, so fans probably know already that he lost a lot of weight for “Dallas Buyers Club.”

He’s showing it off – and so much more – in a new Terry Richardson shoot for Candy magazine.

The photo above is the cover of the latest issue of the mag, which also had James Franco in drag once.

Yes, that’s Jared Leto in a pink wig and bright red lipstick, but he’s only dressed up like this because of his role in the aforementioned film, the same one for which he dropped an insane amount of weight.

Terry posted more pics and scans from the shoot on his official blog but, without a doubt, the cover photo is the most startling because Leto is pretty much unrecognizable.

If you know him from his previous work in film or, even better, from his work with 30 Seconds to Mars, you know what I’m talking about.
