Jared Leto, the 51-year-old actor and lead vocalist for the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, showcased his fearless spirit and zest for life during a memorable performance at the Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, Texas. Leto took an exhilarating bungee jump off the Honda stage while his band played to a captivated audience.
The electrifying moment, captured on Leto’s Instagram, featured the star standing atop the Honda stage building with open arms, greeted by cheers from the crowd. After an enthusiastic shout into the microphone, Leto fearlessly launched himself onto the ground platform, where his band awaited.
In a playful Instagram caption, Leto asked his followers if they’d be willing to take the plunge themselves: “Would you do this? 😎 @aclfestival 🚀.”
This wasn’t the first instance of Leto’s adventurous spirit at the ACL Festival; the Austin-American Statesman reported his daring exploits during the second weekend of the event. In September, Leto left onlookers in awe when he scaled a brick building in New York City without the safety of a harness. During a bike ride, he paused to ascend a few feet up the building.
This audacious act followed a similar escapade in June when Leto scaled the wall of a hotel in Berlin, reaching the second story of the stone building before descending safely.
In addition to his thrilling adventures, Leto is known for his love of the outdoors, indulging in activities like climbing, hiking, and immersing himself in nature. His Instagram feed frequently features snapshots of these escapades, including hiking excursions, rappelling down mountains, and cooling off with dips in rivers.
Jared Leto’s career is as multifaceted as his adventures, ranging from his musical pursuits with Thirty Seconds to Mars to his starring roles in blockbuster films like “The Haunted Mansion.” In September, Thirty Seconds to Mars released their sixth album, “It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day,” showcasing their enduring musical prowess. The band, formed by Leto in 1998, includes his brother, Shannon Leto. As Jared Leto continues to balance his music and acting careers, he keeps adding thrilling moments to his life’s tapestry of adventures.
