Gotcha Images / Splash NewsJared Leto is clearing the air about the meme that has rocked social media.
The Suicide Squad actor made headlines yesterday for wearing the fitted green Gucci jacket that first made his jaw drop at the fashion house's Spring/Summer 2017 menswear show in Milan.
Leto has now revealed the truth about his awestruck reaction, refuting the widely adopted narrative that was whipped up to explain his gleeful expression.
"The thing about the photo is—I'm going to be honest with you—I was actually making a face at someone across the runway," Leto explained to Vanity Fair.
He continued, "I was actually goofing off with a friend, and you can't actually tell from the picture."
And just like that, the 44-year-old star broke our meme-adoring hearts.
"Sorry to ruin your meme," he said. "Perception versus reality."
At least we'll always have Jared Leto hugging things...
Although we now know the Joker to-be wasn't catching flies while admiring Gucci's vibrant collection, there is no denying he is a lover of all things high fashion.
E! News caught up with Leto at New York City's Suicide Squad premiere and we of course complimented him on his whimsical attire. Sure enough, Jared was wearing a Gucci outfit that was handpicked by his close friend and company creative director, Alessandro Michele.
"You know, I had a little help. It's one of the fringe benefits of being close friends with the designer of Gucci is that he's going to make sure you look alright," he said.
We can't wait to see what Leto will wear—and look at—next!
