Watch Jared Leto As Kurt Cobain Sing ‘Pennyroyal Tea’

Perhaps you remember when that YouTube lady transformed herself into Jared Leto using makeup? Well, Jared Leto can transform into other people, too! (You may have forgotten, but the 30 Second to Mars front man is also an actor, ahem.) Let him prove it to you with this video where he dresses as Kurt Cobain and sings Nirvana songs (mostly “Pennyroyal Tea,” but there’s also a bit of “Rape Me” if you make it that far), which Leto uploaded in honor of the anniversary of Cobain’s death. “Not sure I’d be doing this if it weren’t for him,” he wrote. “This made me recall a short piece of film I shot when I heard they were making a film celebrating his life. I made it to explore the character and explore creative possibilities. I never sent it to the studio or to anyone but thought I’d share it now.” We will give Leto one thing: This is the most artfully shot version of an ill-advised idea we have ever seen.
