Will Smith On Working With 'The Joker' Jared Leto In The "Insane" SUICIDE SQUAD Movie
While promoting his big musical comeback, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Will Smith, talked a bit about playing Deadshot in the forthcoming Suicide Squad,
"I've never actually met Jared Leto," admitted Smith. "We worked together for 6 months and we've never exchanged a word outside of 'Action!' and 'Cut!' We've never said 'Hello,' we've never said 'Good day.' I've only ever spoken to him as Deadshot and him as the Joker. I literally have not met him yet. So, the first time I see him will be 'Hey, Jared. What's up?' Not a single word exchanged off camera. He was all in on the Joker... I'm looking forward to meeting him."
Will Smith is certainly referring to Jared Leto's method acting, which a few other Suicide Squad stars have mentioned in previous interviews. Leto even sent a rat to co-star Margot Robbie in the vein of the Joker. Hopefully, he delivers something truly special on-screen. What do YOU think?
