VIDEO: Jared Leto as Kurt Cobain
Yesterday was the 17th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. (Can you believe it’s been 17 years!? Damn, I’m old.)
Anyway, in honor of Kurt Cobain, Jared Leto is sharing a video he made years ago of him impersonating the late singer. Apparently he considered playing Kurt years ago when a movie was being made on his life, but the audition tape was never sent out. He chose yesterday as a good day to release the video.
Jared wrote on his blog:
I heard today was the day Kurt passed away 17 years ago. Can’t believe it’s been that long. So grateful for his contribution and inspiration. Not sure I’d be doing this if it weren’t for him. He gave us all permission to create no matter what our skill set and reminded me that dreams are possible. Thanks for that. This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I’d share it now…
He looks just like him! Creepy!
