As long as we don't choose, everything is possible
Q:How was it to act in this film, you're many different versions of the same character. Have you dealt with every single version on its own or did you juggle with them?
A:No, I juggled with them, Jaco (Van Dormael, the director) likes to torture us, the actors. It was very interesting, confusing, and simply unique. This film is like a surrealistic painting; it's not traditionally realized at all. I haven't seen it yet, but I can assure you that it is unconventional. I was truly lucky to be part of such a project because believe me, such movies aren't being made these days anymore. Today the genres are more and more limited and the money come from people who want to go for what's secure, which is where an avalanche of this type of films or very, very commercial films came from. Nowadays, fewer and fewer movies that take risks are made, like Mr. Nobody. It doesn't even matter whether it will be a success or not, just the fact that it has already taken a risk represents a gain.
Q:How was it to play Nemo at old age?
A:No, that wasn't me… (the answer is surprising, because all the director's, Jaco van Dormael, statements praised Leto's commitment for putting on make-up for six hours daily in order to interpret the old version of the central character ).
(Laughs) Actually it was me, I was just joking…
Q:Do you find it scary to play yourself on the screen?
A:Sometimes yes, you feel empty in front of the camera. I have never played a guy with a denim shirt, with a stupid symbol tattooed on his wrist…
Q:By the way, what does your tattoo mean?
A:I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you…(Laughs). Coming back to acting, it almost didn't happen to me to play a close version of myself, the one I am now. I appreciate a lot actors like Sean Penn or Daniel Day-Lewis, who change along with every single role, who rediscover themselves with each new project. What can I do, the less conventional parts are the ones that appeal to me…(Laughs).
