Jared Leto has confirmed he will be playing Andy Warhol in a forthcoming biopic about the pop art icon.
The actor, who played the Joker in The Suicide Squad, announced the long-rumoured casting by sharing pictures of the artist on his Instagram, writing: “Yes it’s true I will be playing Andy Warhol in an upcoming film.
Titled Warhol, it is based on Victor Bockris’s book, Warhol: The Biography, and adapted by The Wolf of Wall Street screenwriter Terrence Winter.
The new biopic is thought to be the same project Leto was rumoured to be involved in in 2016.
