Young Jared
He was born Jared Joseph Leto on December 26, 1971, in Bossier City, Louisiana. His mother is Constance Leto; his parents got divorced when Jared was a just kid. He and his older brother Shannon were raised by his mother and maternal grandparents. After his parents had got divorced, it was claimed that Jared’s father remarried and later committed suicide when Jared was eight years old. Since his grandfather was serving in the Air Force, they used to move frequently. So growing up, he has visited a lot of places. Jared also has two half-brothers from his father’s second marriage.
There was a time when Jared, his mother, and brother lived off food stamps and were too poor to even afford a TV. But, things changed when Constance married a Dr. Carl Leto, an ophthalmologist. He adopted Jared and Shannon, and that’s how they came to have his last name.
Since Jared was a very young age, he was fascinated with music; he started playing at very early in life, and his first instrument was a broken-down piano. His mother was his source of inspiration and convinced him to pursue his dreams. In one of the interviews, he said, “I was raised around a lot of artists, musicians, photographers, painters and people that were in theater.” He further said, “Just having the art communal hippie experience as a child, there wasn’t a clear line that was drawn. We celebrated creative experience and creative expression. We didn’t try and curtail it and stunt any of that kind of growth.”
When Jared was in the tenth grade, he dropped out of his school and decided to complete his education at the Emerson Preparatory School, located in Washington D.C. He finished his graduation from Flint Hill School in Virginia. Jared then enrolled himself at University of the Arts in Philadelphia to pursue large-scale visual art. However, his interest changed and he wanted to study film-making. He took a transfer to the School of Visual Arts in New York City. While studying, he wrote and acted in his own short film, Crying Joy.
