Based on the gifts Jared Leto sent to his Suicide Squad co-stars, it isn’t surprising that the actor had a “blast” playing the Joker.

Leto recently told Ellen Degeneres on her talk show that making Suicide Squad was “the most fun [he’s] ever had on a film.”

To get into character, Leto had to become “part detective, part writer,” meeting with real life psychopaths and murderers.

We can’t wait to see Leto as the Clown Prince of Crime in Suicide Squad, which hits theaters on August 5.
