Jared Leto Has Already Damaged His Oscar

Jared Leto just won his Oscar, and he admits he’s already damaged the gold statue.

The Bossier City, Louisiana native told ET Canada he’s happy to have the award home in one piece after nearly ruining it.

The 42-year-old said: "I was letting some of the people that I work with take a picture with the Oscar and I was carrying it down the stairs and, boom, I hit it against the stairs, the railing and I put a little nick in the back of it.”

Jared took it in stride, adding, “So, you know, that’s how it goes. It’s already lived in, as they say.”

Leto, who won his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his role as a transgender woman in the drama "Dallas Buyers Club," went on to say the statuette is currently sitting in his kitchen “guarded by some vegan butter and a bag of popcorn.”

“You know, they kind of end up in the kitchen because that's the first place that I go when I get home," said Leto. "You put your keys down and you take off your jacket… and you put your Oscar in the kitchen.”
