Starring in Ridley Scott's latest film doesn't force Jared Leto to mention his side career. Since 1998, he has been singing for Thirty Seconds to Mars, the group he now forms with his brother, Shannon. In an interview with
NME
, the actor reveals that he has written close to 200 songs.
"There are a lot of these sounds that are definitely on the new album [from Thirty Seconds To Mars, note]"
. This tremendous productivity comes simply ... from the soundtrack of
House of Gucci
.
Although they are invited in the soundtrack, Eurythmics, Blondie or George Michael are not at the origin of this flash of genius.
This
“well of inspiration”
goes back to the
“Italian hits”
of the 70s and 80s, incorporated into the film.
“These sounds are sort of ingrained in our psyche, and sometimes they speak directly to our hearts.
They take us back to the films that made us grow up.
So I love to be inspired by this kind of thing, ”
says Jared Leto.
For now, Thirty Seconds to Mars has not yet decided on the release date of its sixth studio album.
"We are really waiting for the right opportunity, the right time to release music
.

Lady Gaga approached for a collaboration
One collaboration can hide another. On screen, Jared Leto plays Paolo Gucci, cousin of Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver), grandson and heir to the founder of the Italian luxury brand. Lady Gaga lends her features for the character of Patrizia Reggiani, Maurizio's ex-wife.
NME
can not help questioning Jared Leto about a collaboration, this time musical, with the one who gives him the answer.
"It would be fun.
She's a great artist and I think she's a real talent.
I have a lot of respect for her and her bravery ”
.
The group can make another argument.
The deluxe edition of
This Is War
, the group's third studio album, features a version
of the singer's
Bad Romance
, sublimely performed by Jared Leto.
What to decide Lady Gaga for a possible duo.
