Jared has been named as No.72 on FastCompanys The 100 Most Creative People in Buisness 2012 List

Welcome to our annual celebration of business innovators who dare to think differently. They’re the ones taking risks and discovering surprising new solutions to old problems. This year, they tell you exactly how they do what they do.

Jared Leto’s first transformation was standard fare–from starlet-dating actor to starlet-dating prog-rock-band frontman. But his second shift was more noteworthy: As he found new ways to expand his band’s reach, he spun off new businesses to help other bands capitalize on their hard-core fans. “The future of music is really exciting,” he says, “especially if you’re interested in a proactive, innovative experience.” Leto has created three startups (so far). The “aha” moments and the companies they inspired:

Engagement trumps numbers
His band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, once invited fans to submit photos of themselves, for a chance to be on the band’s next album cover; it yielded 2,000 different fan covers. He realized, “I’d prefer 1,000 followers, friends, and fans that actually meant something, rather than 10 million that weren’t engaged.”

We’re gonna guess it was laundry day at Jared Leto’s house and this was the only get-up he could find. That, or he’s testing out some sort of “Urban Cowboy” look. Either way, bro still looks hot and (wayyy more importantly) we’d still date him. It’s gonna take a lot more than whatever look Jared’s trying to pull off to scare us out of marriage away.

No matter the reason the Thirty Seconds To Mars singer left his house dressed like our dad on his way to a garage sale, we’re just happy he chose to share his latest hat interest on his blog, Notes From The Outernet. We like keeping tabs on what Jared is up to to so one day when we bump in to him in real life we can casually bring up conversations like, “Ohhh, I didn’t know you liked veggie burgers as much as us!” Or “OMG! We’re both into sword fighting with little people?” We have so much in common!

Hey, you may daydream about how to woo Mr./Mrs. Right in to your life, but we like to spend our time figuring out how to lure Jared Leto in to being our BFF. To each their own.
