On April 5th, the 17th anniversary of Kurt Cobain's death, a video was uploaded onto Youtube of someone that appears to be the late Cobain singing an acoustic version of 'Pennyroyal Tea/Rape Me'. He really looked a lot like Kurt in his prime. The hair was right. So was the way he was dressed. He was even playing the guitar left handed. But, something was off.
His voice wasn't as troubled as Kurt's, and there was a look in his eyes that told you it was someone else.
It was 30 Seconds To Mars' Jared Leto. Supposedly, he recorded the video himself while he was "researching and exploring his character" when he had heard that a biopic was going to be filmed about Cobain's life. I'm assuming the movie in question was Gus Van Sant's 'Last Days', which is influenced by Kurt Cobain, but not directly about his life.
I've never been a fan of Leto's acting, especially his role as Mark David Chapman in 'Chapter 27', but I must admit, he does a pretty admirable job on this one.
