If we didn’t know his movies, and the albums he made with his band 30
seconds to Mars, and we only saw the pictures of him, we would think he
is a scandal loving cameleon-star, like Lady Gaga, but in a body of a
male.
He had long hair, short hair, he was bald, had a pink mohawk, beach
blond hair, had blue hair, intentionally grew down red-brown hair,
rasta, Son Goku hair, wearing moustache, beard, emo make-up, he was fat,
anorexic, and even had perfect Adonis like body – and we didn’t mention
his crazy wardrobe choices!
Do you like shocking people with your look?I don’t look the way I look to make people recoil, it’s only about
me. It’s important for me to express my mood. One day I dyed my hair to
blonde, and at 4 A.M. I had the feeling like changing it to black, and I
called my hairdresser. I never denied that I’m a capricious, and I’m
quite obsessive when it comes to my look. I couldn’t live without
diversity…
That’s why you couldn’t choose between being a musician or an actor?Actually I wanted to become a painter (laugh). And it’s still very
important to me to plan the videos, the album covers and everything
belongs to the visuals. That’s why we made up with the two other members
(inluding Jared’s brother, Shannon) our own icons. Some of them I
tattooed on my body. But no matter if we talk about the music, the
design, or a movie, the most important thing is not the surface, but the
message, which can be harsh. I have dirty mouth, and I don’t like
endearment.
You are famous for raising your voice against war, violence,
drugs, and even your movies about these issues. Is this the most
important thing in your life?One of my friends bullied me by saying in every movie I’m killed or
being beaten up (laugh). In Switchback I had a serious injury, I was
beaten up in the Fight Club, in the Requiem for a Dream my arm was
amputatedm in American Psycho I was brutally killed, I was shot down in
the Panic Room, etc. I think it’s more important to demonstrate against
injustice, than chit-chat about my private life, or my favourite colour
in the magazines. It’s a really good feeling when I receive mails from
vets saying that my songs gave them the strengths on the front and to
leave it behind. But of course this vocation had its cost: when we were
doing Requiem for a Dream, I was living on the street for months, I was
starving, lost 12 kg, and avoided having sex, to be able to show what
can drugs make with people. Then I lived estranged from the World in a
Portugese monastery to come back to myself.
But you gave up avoiding sex, right?Well, since everybody saw the pictures of me and Katharina Damm in
every magazine, I think I cannot make a secret out of it anymore. Next
question?
I see you really try keeping your secrets.I haven’t said to any journalists about my wolf’s name. Beside this I
have a lot of other secrets to keep myself. I like suprising people,
does it matter?
