Jared Leto is a rebel with a gallant cause. With his deep-set sparkling blue eyes and 14 year track record in the media industry, it is clear that Jared possess an immense amount of enthusiasm, drive and charm that have constantly kept audiences captivated.

Back in the humble days of 1994, Jared starred in hit teen-series "My So-Called Life" and since then has developed such an affinity for acting that he was cast by major directors in some of the greatest movies of our time, such as "Fight Club", "Girl Interrupted" and "American Psycho". Following which, his determination and dedication towards acting landed him the lead in "Chapter 27" where he had to put on 67 pounds for the role of John Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman and he had to lose 28 pounds for his critically acclaimed role as a heroin addict in "Requiem for a Dream".

His edgy personality does not stand alone in films but can also be seen in his expression of music. Jared is the lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist and sole songwriter of his band 30 Seconds to Mars. Armed with his ravishingly good looks and stellar vocals, Jared, together with his band, has expressed deep concern over the global warmng issue with their album A Beautiful Lie - an emotional album thematically based around the concept of change.

This year, the multi-talented Jared will again be put in the spotlight by hosting the MTV Asia Awards (MAA) in Genting, Malaysia. "It's an honor to be a part of what I'm sure will be an exciting and unforgettable night in a magical and beautiful country," says Leto. "MTV has been an important home for 30 Seconds to Mars throughout our worldwide journey. I am very proud to join everyone in such a unique and gorgeous location like Malaysia. It is going to be a crazy and wonderful night."
