Here is what happened:
Jared Leto’s recent climb of the Empire State Building left many onlookers in awe. The actor scaled the top 18 floors of the iconic landmark, reaching a staggering height of 1200 feet. Leto described the experience as both exciting and nerve-wracking, noting the endurance and stamina it required. Despite the challenges and cuts to his palms, Leto found the view of the city from such a vantage point to be incredibly rewarding, especially since New York has always held personal significance for him.
The inspiration for Leto’s climb was twofold. It served as an homage to his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, in celebration of their upcoming world tour and the release of their latest album, “It’s the End of the World but a Beautiful Day.” Furthermore, Leto has long been fascinated by the Empire State Building and has a love for climbing.
In addition to his climbing adventure, Leto recently spoke about his band’s new album, describing it as intimate, vulnerable, and revealing. He poured his personal experiences and emotions into the songs on the album, which has received widespread acclaim since its release on September 15th. With a world tour on the horizon, Leto is looking forward to a well-deserved break.
Despite Leto’s daring climb and upcoming tour, the actor joked that after such an accomplishment, the only climb he’s interested in is “into bed.”
