Actor Jared Leto “Nearly Died” Climbing in Red Rock

Jared Leto was recently rock climbing with Alex Honnold in Red Rock when he took a fall and his rope got a bad core shot. The Suicide Squad star, 48, spoke about when he “nearly died” on Instagram, sharing photos from his day out the Free Solo star, Honnold.

“Not to sound dramatic, but this is the day I nearly died,” he said. “Took a pretty good fall climbing with Alex Honnold at Red Rock. Looked up and within seconds the rope was being cut by the rock while I dangled some 600 ft in the air.”

Leto and Honnold have been climbing together for years. “I remember looking down at the ground below. It was a strange moment – less fear, more matter of fact, and slightly melancholy,” he said. “Overall it was actually quite fun.” Core shots are common, but they always get the blood flowing. Leto is set to appear in a new film called Morbius, watch the trailer here.

#FBF Not to sound dramatic, but this is the day I nearly died. Took a pretty good fall climbing with @alexhonnold at Red Rock. Looked up and within seconds the rope was being cut by the rock while I dangled some 600 ft in the air. I remember looking down at the ground below. It was a strange moment – less fear, more matter of fact, and slightly melancholy. The adrenaline came after, when I got back on the wall. But we made it through and lived to see another day ??? Overall it was actually quite fun. we continued climbing into the night…swipe thru for video
