Jared Leto Tried to Give Himself a Nickname on the Suicide Squad Set Like Some Kind of Cool Guy

Jared Leto.

According to Suicide Squad producer Charles Roven, Jared Leto’s process of getting into character as the Joker — which the actor says was “very painful, like giving birth out of my prick hole” — wasn’t limited to method-y stunts like giving Margot Robbie a pet rat. He also wanted to be called “Mr. J” every time he was called to the set, which, all right, can’t argue with him there. That’s a pretty sweet nickname! “It was very entertaining,” Roven tells Collider of Leto’s antics. “It was fuel for a lot of good sport and a lot of laughs.” Speaking of good sport and a lot of laughs, Roven also revealed that, like the rest of DC’s superhero lineup, Suicide Squad will be rated PG-13, so rest assured, this Joker’s particular brand of psychosis will be fun for the whole family.
