During a recent appearance on the Netmums podcast, long-time host of BBC's 'The One Show', Alex Jones, reflected on her experiences interviewing A-list celebrities. When asked about challenging guests, she singled out actor and musician Jared Leto, recounting his virtual appearance in April 2022.
Jones described Leto, who was promoting the show 'WeCrashed' at the time, as being 'so full of himself.' She vividly recalled his attire: 'He was there in sort of dressed as one of the Three Musketeers and he had all this, like, I don't know, Gucci, big shirt, sleeves billowing.'
Beyond the fashion, Jones felt Leto's attitude was lacking. 'I thought, no, no, no, no. Our audience are nice people and, they deserve better than this,' she explained. 'Anybody who can't bring those simple skills [politeness and niceness] to the table, I'm out... you've not been brought up well, then.'
This isn't the first time Jones has mentioned the encounter. In 2023, she told the 'Parenting Hell' podcast that Leto was 'just so dismissive' and 'put himself on like a different plane to everybody else.'
Reports from the original 2022 broadcast indicate viewers shared Jones' unease, taking to social media to comment on Leto appearing 'bored' and questioning his interaction with the hosts regarding his 'frilly shirt'.
Jones also noted a general observation about celebrity interviews, mentioning that while hosting big Hollywood names is interesting, she often prefers 'British homegrown talent' who understand the show's atmosphere. She finds many actors, accustomed to playing roles, can be nervous or 'staccato' when appearing as themselves on live TV.
