Jared Leto has green hair to play The Joker in Suicide Squad

HIS long ombre locks were cropped into a short peroxide blonde ‘do. Now Jared Leto has had another hair makeover for his role as The Joker.

IT’S hard to keep up with Jared Leto’s hair.

He ditched his long ombre locks for a cropped cut, then it was dyed bleached blonde. Now the Oscar-winner has had another hair makeover — his locks are green.

He is sporting the look for his upcoming role as The Joker in Suicide Squad.

Suicide Squad director David Ayer shared a snap of Leto’s newly-dyed green hair on Twitter.

The style is a far cry from Leto’s signature long, ombre style, which he often wore down and wavy, or tied back in a man-bun or plait.

Leto cut off his long locks and sported a peroxide crop last month, which he debuted on the same day as Kim Kardashian unveiled her own blonde mane (she has since gone back to her signature chocolate brown hair extensions).

Leto hinted that a change was coming when he posted a photo on Instagram this week with the caption, “Transformation begins”.

But the Thirty Seconds to Mars singer has previously brushed off all the attention over his hair.

“I hear a little bit of people talking about hair, whatever,” Leto told this writer last year.

He even threatened to shave it all off.

“I should just shave it off maybe at this point. I’m sure it’s not going to last much longer — the

hair, that is. I don’t think about it so much,” Leto said.

“It’s not a big deal to me. I’m thinking about other things in life.”

Suicide Squad, which also stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie and model Cara Delevingne, is due to be released in August next year.
