Jared Leto fans simply 'refuse to believe' how the actor continues to not age whatsoever.
Turning 51, Leto took to Instagram with a classic shirtless pic on his birthday, which happens to fall a day after Christmas.
With the physique of a man in his mid twenties, fans were gushing over the Hollywood star, who posed topless while throwing peace signs at the camera.
Teasing his followers, Leto captioned the post: "Naughty or nice??

"I concur he’s definitely a vampire haha," a third fan added.

Someone else simply wrote: "Christmas Day just got a whole lot better."
Last year, on his 50th, Leto posted another shirt-free photo - this time - while sitting in a chair, he held a huge piece of multicoloured cake.
The snap appeared to have been taken on a break from filming as he's got a bit of fake blood around his mouth and an unusually oily torso.

Alongside the photo he wrote: “Thx for all the bday wishes!”
And his fans have been bowled over by his youthful looks, sharing the photo on Twitter one person wrote: “Jared Leto is 50. Yes, 50 years of age. HOLY. F***ING. S**T.”
Someone else joked: “Jared Leto is 50 today. I’m 51. Judging by my mirror the next 12 months are really going to take a toll on him.”

Leto is well known for his intense method acting and earlier this year, production was delayed because he simply 'acted so hard' on the set of Morbius.
The movie's director, Daniel Espinosa, said Leto was highly dedicated to accurately portraying the physical limitations of his character, Dr Michael Morbius.
He would use crutches even when the cameras weren’t rolling, which delayed the production schedule because it would take him 45 minutes to go to the bathroom.
He crew eventually decided to transport the actor in a wheelchair to speed up the lengthy bathroom trips.

Espinoa told Uproxx: “I think that what Jared thinks, what Jared believes, is that somehow the pain of those movements, even when he was playing normal Michael Morbius, he needed, because he’s been having this pain his whole life.
“Even though he's alive and strong, it has to be a difference. Hey, man, it’s people’s processes.”
Despite the actor holding up production, Espinoa said he respected the actor’s choice to remain in character.

“All of the actors believe in processes. And you, as director, you support whatever makes it as good as you can be,” he said.
