Just a week ago, Jared Leto surprised his fans with one of his strangest occurrences to date, preparing to climb the facade of a hotel in Berlin for no apparent reason. If the actor was preparing for a new role in the cinema -let’s remember that he usually takes these things very seriously- or plans to become a real-life Spider-Man, it is not known, but it seems that things are going to get better. because now he has demonstrated his arts in free climbing in Italy.
With his bare hands and without any type of harness -nor permissions from the Italian authorities, according to the newspaper La Repubblica-, the actor began to climb a wall of the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, cradle of one of the families in history. Italian: the Sforzas.
This can be seen in the video shared on TikTok by RadioFreccia, where the eccentric actor and musician, 51, is seen clinging to the irregularities of the stone that the well-known monument erects in order to maintain his balance.
Why Leto climbed this emblematic building in the Italian capital, which houses some of the best museums on the peninsula, is not known.
Built as a fortress during the 14th century, the Sforzesco Castle is one of the most emblematic monuments of Milan. Today it is a splendid palace that houses some of the best museums and art galleries in the country; in addition to an extensive central courtyard, which is open to the public for free.
Built, torn down and rebuilt over the centuries; the castle has become one of the most magnificent fortresses in all of Italy. In the second half of the 19th century, it underwent its last restoration at the hands of the architect Luca Beltrami, who managed to restore the building to all the splendor it had in the Sforza era.
It must be said that Leto is a professional climber, so this adventure is not something he does for the love of art – maybe it is. The actor started practicing this sport years ago, when he directed the documentary Great Wide Open, his particular ode to nature. The actor is close friends with Alex Honnold, a well-known professional climber, with whom he incidentally had a near-death climbing experience at Red Rock.
However, this has not stopped him from continuing his hobby, which is now taking him to some of the most emblematic buildings in Europe.
One of the theories that could explain the reason for these appearances by the actor as if it were a Banksy of climbing could have to do with the presentation of It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day, the next album from his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, which will be presented on September 15 and whose first single, Stuck, is already a success on the charts.
The band is expected to make several appearances throughout this year, playing on festival stages such as BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Lollapalooza or When We Were Young in Las Vegas (USA) which has already sold out. all your inputs.
