Jared Leto covers the latest issue of Candy, a magazine that bills itself as the center of “transversal style.”

So it only makes sense the actor would do so in drag, right?

The publication has dressed such stars as James Franco, Chloë Sevigny and Andrej Pejic in drag garb over the year, creating headlines via gender bending and political satire.

 

In December, Candy placed transgender model Connie Fleming on its cover, styling her to invoke Michelle Obama swearing in on a Bible.

Leto, meanwhile, dabbled a bit in cross-dressing for his upcoming indie film The Dallas Buyers Club. It will mark his first big screen role in five years.
