Jared Leto on awards success: 'I have one prize on a shelf in my bathroom'

30 Seconds To Mars superstar Jared Leto has revealed that he can't believe the number of awards he's up for as a result of playing transgendered HIV sufferer Rayon in 'Dallas Buyers Club', and hasn't got a special place to put trophies just yet. 

Speaking to OK! magazine about the acclaim generated from his role in the movie, the heartthrob explained that he's overwhelmed by the awards season attention and keeps one prize in his bathroom:

"I didn't know there were 30 awards to win. It's slightly embarrassing really, but yeah, it's incredible, pretty wild. I have one award on a shelf in the bathroom. Some I haven't received yet. They sit where you leave them. I think my SAG Award is still in the kitchen."

Leto added that portraying the character of Rayon was a challenge in every way, but wearing high heels for the part wasn't too trying: "The heels were fine. I know what I'm doing with them."

"But tights are really difficult to wear. I have tattoos on my legs so I had to wear two pairs to cover them up and they cut off my circulation. They aren't comfortable, I don't miss them at all."
