Jared Leto has revealed he “nearly died” while rock climbing in Nevada.
Leto shared photos and videos of the incident on Instagram, which occurred while he was climbing with Alex Honnold, who is famous for his free solo ascents.
Leto and Honnold were climbing at the Red Rock canyon in Nevada when the actor “took a pretty good fall”.
“Not to sound dramatic, but this is the day I nearly died,” wrote Leto in the Instagram caption. “Took a pretty good fall climbing with @alexhonnold at Red Rock. Looked up and within seconds the rope was being cut by the rock while I dangled some 600 ft in the air.
“I remember looking down at the ground below. It was a strange moment - less fear, more matter of fact, and slightly melancholy. The adrenaline came after, when I got back on the wall. But we made it through and lived to see another day.
“Overall it was actually quite fun. we continued climbing into the night...”
Leto recently made headlines after reports emerged that he was so unhappy with Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker movie that he attempted to have it halted while it was in development.
It was previously claimed that the Oscar winner, who portrayed the character in 2016’s Suicide Squad, felt “alienated and upset” by the film, and believed it undermined his previous work and aspirations for his own Joker spin-off movie.
