Hollywood star Jared Leto has gone incognito upon touching down in Australia.

The US actor and musician, 52, was photographed arriving at Melbourne airport Monday morning, concealing his face with a cloth mask, while also wearing a black hoodie, sunglasses and a cap.

Leto, who is here for the Aussie leg of his global tour with his band Thirty Seconds to Mars, flashed a peace sign and a thumbs up to paparazzi as he made his way from the terminal to a car.

Despite his low-key look, a group of fans still managed to recognise Leto, stopping to ask him for selfies.

The rock group are set to host shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane over the next week, with Leto announcing their Seasons 2024 tour in spectacular fashion in November by climbing the Empire State Building.

Just days ago, Leto suggested he’d set his sights on Australia for his next stunt in an interview on KIIS FM’s The Night Show with Mitch Churi.

“I would do the Harbour Bridge but honestly, it’s a little too safe for me,” Leto began.

“I’d want to do something a little bit further on the edge.

“If they’d let me climb it without a rope, I would do it. Without being harnessed in, because I’m sure everyone’s harnessed in right?”

Thirty Seconds to Mars, which first formed in 1998, kick off their tour at Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena on September 12.

They’ll then host a concert at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena on September 14 before finishing at Brisbane’s Riverstage on September 17.

The line-up has undergone various changes over the years, but frontman Leto and his brother, drummer Shannon Leto, have been consistent members since the start.

The tour marks the band’s first headline tour in more than five years.
