For his latest, upcoming movie "Chapter 27," Jared Leto reveals he gained so much weight during the shooting of the movie that it made him sick. The usually toned actor was required to pile on a lot of extra pounds to play John Lennon's killer Mark Chapman.
However, his eating binges and expanding waistline reportedly left him with gout-a form of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints, which most commonly affects the big toe.
To ease the crippling pain, Leto has been wearing plastic clogs.
According to America's The New York Post newspaper, the actor revealed he was suffering from gout when asked why he was wearing plastic shoes during a recent stay at Chicago's Hard Rock Hotel.
Leto was staying at the world famous hotel ahead of his band 30 Seconds from Mars' performance at the recent Lollapalooza music festival.
