A myriad of stories have emerged from the set regarding Joker actor Jared Leto. From his method commitment to the part and his interactions with his fellow co-stars, Leto's process has been scrutinized ever since he landed the role.

During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show starring jimmy Fallon, the actor briefly spoke about his role in Suicide Squad and how he's grown to appreciate the character.

"I tell you what, it was the most fun that I've ever had, uh, playing a part. I fell in love with The Joker, and I really think underneath it all he's kind of a sweetheart."

That last part was most likely sarcasm because truthfully there isn't a sweet bone in the Joker's entire body. Also, the actor has stated himself that his character is indeed crazy while at the red carpet event for the film.

"The character is a completely insane madman, with green hair and a great smile," Leto said to Comicbook.com and other press.

That insanity stretches to the villain's laugh, something Leto worked on for quite a while before filming.

"You know, when I got asked to play The Joker, I don't really have a big, precarious laugh personally," Leto told us. "So I was a bit terrified. This is a guy who's laughing, and laughing in a way that's very unique. So I worked on it, and worked on it, and came up with something that... is very strange, I admit."

Suicide Squad hits theatres on August 5th.
