Jared Leto / Suicide Squad
The makeup transformation for Jared Leto's Joker in "Suicide Squad" was far from simple. The makeup crew had to dedicate three hours every day just to achieve that wild and insane clown look. Leto's commitment to his character was truly impressive, as this extensive makeup routine helped him get into the zone and stay in character throughout filming. They even had an entire department dedicated to working on Leto's face, emphasizing the complexity of his Joker transformation.
When you compare this to the makeup routines of other iconic Joker portrayals, such as Heath Ledger's one-hour makeup process and Joaquin Phoenix's 15-minute transformation, Leto's dedication and the demands of his makeup were undeniably intense. It's a testament to his dedication and the lengths he was willing to go to bring this iconic character to life on the big screen.
