Los Angeles: Actor Jared Leto's "Suicide Squad" co-stars have revealed he gifted them live rats and bullets to make up for his absence from the film's initial shooting.
Leto plays The Joker in the superhero film, which also stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney, Cara Delevingne, Viola Davis and Adam Beach.
"He sent (Margot Robbie) a nice love letter with a black box with a rat in it - a live rat. It was beautiful. Then he sent bullets to Will (Smith) with a letter," cast member Adam Beach said.
Leto, 43, also sent them a video, reported Aceshowbiz.
"Basically, what he said was, 'Guys, I can't be there but I want you to know I'm doing my work as hard as you guys,'. The video he showed is in character. It blew our minds away. Then we realized that day, this is real," he said.
"He encompasses this beautiful man and he shows it in, 'Hello, how are you?,' but in an instant, he goes to psychotic behavior where you're in fear. But you love him because he has both of those genuine sides," Beach praised Leto.
The film will release on August 5, 2016.
