Jared Leto identifies with "people who are different"

30 Seconds To Mars rocker Jared Leto has been talking about how he relates to others who may be perceived as outsiders.

In a joint interview with Jared and his brother Shannon Leto, the pair agreed that they would not be “averse” to having the term “queer” applied to them.

Shannon stated: “I wouldn’t care.”

Jared added: “"I don't think we'd care at all. We certainly identify with people who are different.”

Speaking to FourTwoNine magazine, the 'Dallas Buyers Club' actor also told a story about a 30 Seconds To Mars fan who found the strength to deal with their sexuality thanks to the band's music.

The ‘Up In The Air’ singer explained:

“I got a note from a kid yesterday. We were signing a thousand CDs after a show. If you looked at him, he looked like any young kid maybe in twelfth grade or eleventh grade who'd be on the baseball team or something. A nice looking kid. He handed me a note and it said, 'I just want to say thanks so much for the music. It's helped me in many ways - especially with coming out this year to my family.'”
