“In 1933, King Kong climbed the Empire State Building. In 2023, Jared Leto took his place. It is with these words that the Instagram account of the famous New York skyscraper announced that the 51-year-old actor and singer had achieved the feat of climbing the building, from the 86th to the 104th floor, on Thursday, November 9 2023. The man who will play Karl Lagerfeld in the cinema has thus become the first person to climb this building legally.
Behind this rise, a goal: to promote the future world tour of the group Thirty Seconds to Mars of which Leto is the leader and singer and which began its return in March 2023. “I was more enthusiastic than nervous to be honest. But I have to tell the truth, it was very, very difficult, much more difficult than I imagined,” the American told NBC.
If he obviously succeeded in his challenge of advertising his training, Jared Leto also found personal interest in this climbing session. “Watching the sun rise over the city really meant the world to me. Ever since I was a kid, New York has been the place you go to make your dreams come true. When I was little, I wanted to be an artist, and the Empire State Building has always been a symbol to me,” he said. conclu.
