Jared Leto parents: Constance Leto, Anthony L. Bryant

Constance Leto (née Metrejon) gave birth to Leto on December 26, 1971 in Bossier City, Louisiana.

After briefly leaving school in the tenth grade, Leto made the decision to go back and concentrate on his studies at the exclusive Emerson Preparatory School in Washington, D.C. In order to pursue his interest in large-scale visual art, he enrolled at Philadelphia’s University of the Arts.

He changed schools and enrolled at the School of Visual Arts in New York City after discovering a passion for filmmaking.  He wrote and starred in his own short film, Crying Joy, while he was a student there.  He also went to the George Washington University’s Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, which is now a part of it.
