‘Chapter 27′ Trailer: The Movie Jared Leto Gained 62lbs For! March 12, 2008

Jared Leto gained 62lbs to play John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman, in the independent film Chapter 27. I know this because he bragged about it on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in 2006. Jimmy Kimmel later told Stuff magazine that he could not stand Leto. “He was so insufferably satisfied with himself that I wanted to strangle him,” said Kimmel.

In addition to a bloated and self-satisfied Leto, Chapter 27 features Razzie winner Lindsay Lohan as Jude, a friend of Chapman’s. The film is being released in (a few) theaters this spring.
