Jeff Bridges has revealed Jared Leto used method acting on 'Tron: Ares' while the actor tried to navigate his co-star's performance technique.
Jeff Bridges has revealed Jared Leto went full-method for ‘Tron: Ares’.
The 52-year-old actor has become renowned for immersing himself in his roles in the likes of ‘Suicide Squad’ and ‘Morbius’ through method acting, and his co-star, 74, has now admitted he didn’t know what to expect from Leto as they worked together on the upcoming Disney movie - which is a sequel to both the original ‘Tron’ film and its TV spin-off ‘Tron: Uprising’.
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s ‘Literally! With Rob Lowe’ podcast, Bridges said: "I hadn’t met him before. I’m saying, ‘What’s it gonna be like?’ Because he was also a producer of the show, big fan of the original, working on it for 10 years.
"I came in, and you know how each set has a different vibe? There was an interesting vibe on this.
"I said, ‘How’s Jared? How’s he working?’, ‘He’s all right. You know, we call him Ares, you know, so he goes by his name,’ and I said, ‘Oh, that’s interesting.’"
The flick - which will follow on from the events of 2010’s ‘Tron: Legacy’ - follows the computer programme Ares (Leto) which is sent from the digital world into the real world to introduce artificial intelligence to humans, while Bridges reprises his role as video game designer Kevin Flynn who was first introduced in the 1982 original movie.
‘The Big Lebowski’ actor added he was initially unsure how to play his character against Leto’s Ares.
He explained: "His name was Ares in the show, and I ended up going, ‘Hey Air, what’s happening man?’
"And I say, ‘Is it ok if I call you Air?’ And he says, ‘Yeah, sure you can.’ Then we got loose, and it was just wonderful. I mean, we jammed, you know?”
Reflecting on the picture, ‘The Old Man’ actor teased his co-star’s character was a "big rockstar man".
He said: "I won’t tell you because we get into some music stuff in the [film], and it’s quite good. He’s wonderful in the part though, and I’m so happy to be a part [of it]."
