"Jared Leto abruptly plays the guitar at Alexanderplatz."
A group of dedicated fans already knew about it due to a late announcement made on X. But it's likely that other people passing by were quite shocked: All of a sudden, Hollywood actor and Thirty Seconds to Mars singer Jared Leto was standing on Berlin's Alexanderplatz with his guitar.
Jared Leto, known as an actor and singer of the band Thirty Seconds to Mars, gave a brief, impromptu performance in the center of Berlin's Alexanderplatz on a Monday afternoon. Photos and videos on social media show the 52-year-old American with his guitar in hand, rocking out at around 2 p.m. on the square. He performed a few songs for the crowd that gathered quickly, with Leto singing in a cowboy hat and futuristic sunglasses.
Fans eagerly listened to the actor's unexpected performance in the hot summer weather, with Leto also performing the Thirty Seconds to Mars hit "The Kill (Bury Me)" with the help of his dedicated audience, who joined in to provide backup vocals.
Previously, Leto teased his appearance in a video on the platform X. In the video, Leto, with the help of AI and possibly accent-free German, said, "Hello, I'm Jared Leto from Berlin. A secret for you at 2 pm: This is at 2pm at Alexanderplatz. We're coming to say hello and play a few songs." Later that day, Leto and his band performed at a sold-out concert at Berlin's Uber Arena.
Leto began his career as an actor and rose to fame in Hollywood with roles in films like "Fight Club" and "American Psycho." He achieved his biggest on-screen success so far as the transgender Rayon in the movie "Dallas Buyers Club," sharing the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor with Matthew McConaughey in 2014.
Coupled with his acting career, Leto has also been involved in music since 1998 as the frontman and songwriter of the alternative rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars. The band is currently embarking on an extensive world tour, with stops in places like Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Zurich, Hanover, and Cologne.
