It’s a tough break for Jared Leto: The actor broke his nose at a recent concert by his band, 30 Seconds to Mars.

Leto, 35, was performing in El Paso, Texas, on Thursday when he ran into the crowd and was rushed by fans, a spokesperson for the band’s record label tells MTV News.

The Chapter 27 star also hurt his foot and suffered minor injuries to his face and body.

According to MTV, Leto finished the show and even called it one of the best of the tour, but ultimately checked into a hospital to make sure he wouldn’t need surgery for any of his injuries.

30 Seconds to Mars were performing as part of the Taste of Chaos tour, which also features bands including The Used and Senses Fail.

“I’ve been producing shows for 25 years and this was one of the scariest moments I have witnessed,” tour organizer Kevin Lyman said of the melee in a statement. “We hope Jared’s injuries are all minor and that he has a speedy recovery.”

This apparently isn’t Leto’s first 30 Seconds to Mars-related scuffle: Elijah Wood said recently that Leto grabbed him in October at an MTV event because he was offended by remarks Wood made about his band to Blender magazine.

“He was basically upset at the fact that I said I didn’t like his band,” Wood told Jane in its February issue. “He said that initially and then walked away. I guess he thought I was laughing at him, but I was more shell-shocked and telling people around me, ‘Whoa, I just got told off by Jared Leto for not liking his band.’ And that’s when he came back and grabbed me.”

Chapter 27 (otherwise known as the movie Jared Leto got insanely fat for)- the new film about John Lennon’s assassination - has been branded an insult to the music legend’s memory. J.P. Schaefer’s movie - which depicts the former Beatles’ murder in 1980 by deranged fan Mark David Chapman - premiered at the Sundance festival on Tuesday after allegedly being rejected by other film festivals.

Fox News reporter Roger Friedman saw the movie and has blasted Schaefer for tarnishing Lennon’s memory. Friedman said: “J.P. Schaefer has managed to kill Lennon again. He’s also made a boring, un-releasable movie that no one will ever see. Most of the audience struggled to remain awake during the film’s lethargic 90 minutes.”

Friedman brands Jared Leto’s performance as Chapman as “inert”, claiming the “once promising” actor “plays Chapman as a blob in tinted sunglasses”.

He also accuses Chapter 27 of plagiarising J.D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye, from which the movie takes its name. Chapman was carrying the 1951 book - which tackles such themes as the portrayal of sexuality, teenage angst and alienation - when he was arrested immediately after shooting Lennon and referred to the 27th chapter when police interviewed him.

Lindsay Lohan also appears in the film and Friedman claims she is wasted as a Beatles fan with a minor role in the film. He said: “She’s better off in rehab than wasting her talents on this junk.
