Working on his fitness: Jared Leto continued to share photos of his impressive physique as he bulks up for his role as The Joker in the new DC comics adaption, Suicide Squad, posting this on Saturday
In the somewhat blurry photo Jared shows off his famous ink - as well as impressive abs - as he's seen climbing a rocky wall.
He sports a pair of blue and white striped athletic trousers and black shoes in the photo captioned simply: 'Climbing the walls'
The star is currently on tour with his band 30 Seconds to Mars, visiting Tyrol, Austria on Saturday, and heading to Poland on Monday.
The busy performer recently spoke with Billboard about his upcoming role as The Joker, which requires him to pack on the pounds, something he reveals is not his strong suit.
Bulking up: On April 28 Jared shared a photo of his bulging biceps as he began documenting his physical transformation for Suicide Squad - following shots shared by director David Ayer of his shorter, green 'do
'I'm trying to gain a lot of weight. It means I have to eat every couple of hours - and I'm terrible at eating a lot,' the actor admitted.
The Dallas Buyers Club star even interrupted the publication's interview to ask: 'Do you mind if I eat a little?' as he grabbed the vegan tacos he had brought along, so the health-conscious star could try and stick to the difficult task at hand.
On the flip side, his last film had the star losing between 30 to 40 pounds - according to an interview with Entertainment Weekly - and the effort earned him an Academy Award for best supporting actor.
On Thursday he threw back to that performance, sharing a snap of himself in costume as Rayon, the HIV-positive transsexual who becomes the business partner of Ron Woodroof (Matthew McConaughey) in their 1980s drug-smuggling operation to get unapproved AIDS medicines into the U.S.
Nostalgic: On Thursday Jared shared this snap of himself in character as Rayon - his Oscar-winning role from The Dallas Buyers Club - writing: 'Miss you'
The Oscar winner posted the nostalgic photo on his Instagram account, captioning it simply with: 'Miss you'
Two days prior he had debuted the beginnings of his physical transformation for Suicide Squad, following snaps shared by director David Ayer, which showed off short, platinum blonde locks, followed by a green 'do that caused quite the stir.
Filming has begun in Toronto, Canada for Suicide Squad, which also stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne, and Viola Davis.
The highly anticipated Warner Bros. adaptation is due to hit theaters August 5, 2016.
Causing a stir: Fans went wild over this shot posted by David, captioned: 'The Suicide Squad wishes you a Happy Anniversary Mr. J! #Joker75 #SuicideSquad @WarnerBrosEnt @DCComics'
