Jared Leto wants to take another break from acting.
The 42-year-old star quit the big screen over half a decade ago to focus on his music career with his band 30 Seconds to Mars and made a comeback this year playing Rayon - a transgender AIDS patient - in 'Dallas Buyers Club', but he's now considering going on another hiatus for "five or six years".
He said: "I'm ready to take another five or six years. If it means coming back with this kind of opportunity and this kind of work ... and this really important story and this tiny little film that we shot in 25 days with no lights, no rehearsal, low-budget film. It's a miracle that it even got made. It took 20 years to get to the screen. So I feel really fortunate. It had been almost six years since I made a movie and I've been touring with 30 Seconds to Mars and still am touring with 30 Seconds to Mars so we'll see what happens next."
Leto is in the running for the Best Supporting Actor prize at the Oscar Awards for his remarkable performance opposite Matthew McConaughey in the gripping biopic and, although he admits he's not bothered if he wins, he believes it would be nice for his family and co-stars.
He explained to RTÉ Ten: "I've never pined for awards but it's really nice when you get them, not just for me but for your friends and your family and the people that you've worked with and for audiences that have supported you so it becomes a really a time of joy but I think it's nice to celebrate your peers."

Dylan Farrow has hit back at suggestions she has been "brainwashed" by Mia Farrow.
Woody Allen's adopted daughter, who spoke out at the weekend alleging he had abused her at the age of seven, insists she wasn't coached by her mother despite her older brother Moses' recent claims the allegations were merely part of Mia's "vengeful" response to her former partner's affair with her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn.
The 28 year old also denied she came forward before the Oscars in a bid to ruin the 'Blue Jasmine' director's career and told PEOPLE.com: "People are saying that I am not actually remembering what I remember. People are saying that my 'evil mother' brainwashed me because they refuse to believe that my sick, evil father would ever molest me, because we live in this society where victim blaming and inexcusable behaviour - this taboo against shaming the famous at the expense of their victims - is accepted and excused."
Dylan is very upset by Moses' decision to stand by Woody, who vehemently denies the allegations, and speak up for him.
She said: "My brother has broken my heart. Moses divorced himself from the family a long time ago. I always missed him. I loved him and I kept him in my thoughts. These lies - this betrayal - is unfathomable to me coming from a brother I loved and cherished and grew up with."
Mia first made the abuse claims during a 1992 custody battle with the filmmaker. The allegations were investigated but later dropped without charge.

Police officers want Justin Bieber to face felony charges for throwing eggs at his neighbour's house.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department passed the case on to the L.A. County District Attorney (D.A.) on Thursday (06.02.14) and strongly recommended that the 'Baby' hitmaker be punished to the fullest extent of the law for allegedly causing $20,000 in damage to his neighbour's house in Calabasas, California last month.
Lt. Dave Thompson told gossip website TMZ.com: "I went to the D.A.'s office today with the paperwork, and I want a felony. Of course I want a felony."
The D.A. is expected to make a decision on the case, which was originally filed as a misdemeanour but could become a felony due to the extent of the damage, in approximately one week.
Justin's friend Lil Za, 20, was charged with felony possession of Ecstasy and oxycodone, and breaking a pay phone while in police custody after being arrested when police raided the Canadian star's home following the egg-throwing incident. If convicted on all counts, the budding rapper could face up to nine years in jail.
Legal issues are building up for the 19-year-old singer.
The 'Heartbreaker' hitmaker is to appear in court in Miami on March 3 over charges of driving under the influence (DUI), resisting arrest and driving with an invalid licence following his arrest there on January 23.
Justin's lawyer Roy Black has already filed a written plea of not guilty.
Justin, who partied with P. Diddy and Rick Ross in Atlanta, Georgia on Wednesday night (05.02.14), was also recently charged with allegedly assaulting a limousine driver last year while leaving a basketball game in Toronto.

George Clooney thinks Sandra Bullock's son is "unbelievably great."
The 52-year-old actor bonded with his 'Gravity' co-star's four-year-old little boy, Louis, on the set of the space drama in 2011 and despite regularly making jokes about his actress pal, 49, George thinks she is a "really, truly fun" mother.
'The Monuments Men' star told PEOPLE.com at the New York premiere of the film: "I haven't babysat Louis, but I've spent some time with that kid. He's a good kid. Sandy - I don't know. But the kid's good!"
He added: "Honestly, I can make all the jokes I want about Sandy because I love her, but she's an unbelievable mom. And that kid's unbelievably great."
The Oscar-winning actress, who adopted Louis in 2009, previously revealed that Louis was a huge fan of George and demanded to spend quality time with him alone away from the set.
She said: "My son thinks he's a very cool dude. If there's a choice between me [and] George and Alfonso [Cuaron, the director], my son will leave me to be with George and these guys. He's a boy's boy, so he has to go talk to the men."

David Beckham insists his job as an underwear model didn't influence his decision to launch a Major League Soccer club in Miami.
The 38-year-old star, who announced plans to launch his own team on Wednesday (05.02.14), laughed off suggestions he chose the Florida hotspot because he thought he would fit in easily with residents, who are "notorious" for showing off their bodies in barely there outfits.
Asked if he was attracted to the city because of his love of underwear, he told fans during a Google+ Hangout On Air chat: "Now you mention it... There's obviously been quite a lot of press of me in my underwear for the last few weeks, so that's been an interesting one. But no, Miami was definitely somewhere I was interested in bringing the team. For many reasons, for the passion of the people but also to start something fresh, to start something from the ground up, which would be something I'd be very proud of, something I'm looking forward to working on."
The retired player hasn't decided on a name for his team yet but insisted it wouldn't feature his nickname 'Golden Balls', which was given to him by his fashion designer wife, Victoria Beckham when they first started dating.
He said: "I want it to be right, I know how important a name is to the city and to the fans. We have a number of ideas. Someone actually said, 'Is it going to be Golden Balls FC' today, which it's definitely not. That was one of the names that was thrown at me today."
David also explained why he thinks his team will be successful and said: "I believe 100 per cent in the game getting bigger in this country. I know the Americans want to be number one in everything, that's what inspired me to own a team in this country. Soccer's not there yet but it will get there."

Demi Lovato thinks Selena Gomez is "amazing."
The 'Heart Attack' hitmaker, who sought treatment in rehab for an eating disorder, drug abuse and self-harming in December 2010, has voiced her support for her best friend following news the 'Come & Get It' singer spent two weeks in rehab last month.
The 21-year-old former 'The X Factor' USA judge told E! News: "Selena is... I've known her for 14 years and we've been best friends. She's amazing. I love her."
Asked how Selena is doing, Demi replied: "We're best friends but that's all of her business and I just want to let her do her thing. She's amazing, I love her."
The duo, who first met when they starred on 'Barney & Friends' as children, were spotted having dinner together at Craig's Restaurant in West Hollywood following Selena's rehab stint in late January, and Demi admitted their dinner dates are "a lot of fun."
Demi also tweeted her support for Selena, who was struggling to get over her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber and allegedly drinking more than usual before seeking help, on Wednesday (05.02.14), writing: "Weakness is living in denial. Only the strongest people ask for help."
A representative for the 21-year-old star confirmed Selena had spent a fortnight at Arizona's Dawn at the Meadows last month, but denied she had "substance abuse" problems.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning to honeymoon in Italy.
The couple are set to tie the knot in a lavish ceremony in Paris in May that will feature on Kim's reality series, 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians, and while their eight-month-old daughter, North West, will be involved in the wedding, the rapper wants to have a romantic holiday with his new wife alone afterwards.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com: "Kanye has made it clear to Kim he doesn't want North to come with them on their honeymoon.

The insider said: "Kim wants to go back to Venice, where North was conceived so they can start expanding the family. Kim hates to leave the baby behind, but will definitely need down time after the wedding."
But baby North will have a big role in her parents' French nuptials.
The source said: "Kim is so excited to dress her little girl up with her on the big day.
"Everyone knows how unpredictable babies can be, but Nori isn't worrying her parents because she is super mellow, and they aren't concerned about her disrupting the wedding."

Amy Adams broke down in tears when asked about Philip Seymour Hoffman.
The 39-year-old 'American Hustle' actress, who co-starred with the late actor in 'The Master' in 2012 and 'Doubt' in 2008, started sobbing and struggled to speak while filming an appearance on 'Inside the Actors Studio' in New York City on Wednesday (05.02.14).
A source told UsMagazine.com: "(The show's host) James Lipton asked her about working with Philip on 'Doubt' and 'The Master.' It hit a nerve with her. [Adams] was sobbing and couldn't finish most of her sentences."
The insider added: "Amy talked about how he was the greatest actor she had worked with, and couldn't even tell stories about him without crying. She said to the audience of acting students 'I wish you all could have had the chance to work with him.' "
The interview will air on Bravo in the US on February 19.
Amy signed on to star in 'Ezekiel Moss,' the follow-up to Philip's 2010 directorial debut, 'Jack Goes Boating,' alongside Jake Gyllenhaal just last week.

Sarah Hyland thinks it's "sad" that so many young Hollywood stars need rehab.
The 'Modern Family' actress, who plays Haley Dunphy in the comedy series, has no desire to be seen as a party girl and thinks a lot of her peers, such as Justin Bieber, Lindsay Lohan and Selena Gomez, are really in "pain."
The 23-year-old star told VanityFair.com: "It makes me really upset when I see stuff like that, because these people are talented. It's not like they're just kids who have a lot of money and are f**king up. So when I see people who are so talented get themselves into D.U.I.s or rehab or anything like that, it just makes me sad because you can tell that they're really in pain; there's something wrong. It's a sad situation because they have all this talent and success, but something's not there, something's missing - so they replace it with drugs, or alcohol, or sex."
The brunette beauty would rather be known for her acting than her personal life.
She said: "I don't like the F word and I don't like the C word. I like the real F word and C word, but I don't like 'famous' and I don't like 'celebrity.'
"I'm not dying to be in that ['Young Hollywood'] group, but if people put me in it, I'm really flattered. I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous."

Nick Frost "put his back out" while salsa dancing.
The 41-year-old actor injured himself "very badly" while filming a dance-off with Chris O'Dowd for their new romantic comedy, 'Cuban Fury.'
Speaking at the UK premiere of the film at the Vue Cinema in London's Leicester Square tonight (06.02.14), director James Griffiths told BANG Showbiz: "Nick injured himself very badly actually during the rooftop dance. We had to go back and film some elements. We had some wires when he catches Chris O'Dowd and I remember it, he sort of throws Chris down in the air and catches him and Nick, in true style, very gritty, caught him for real. He put his back out. So the next day was a bit of a panic. He had a lot of massages and a lot of oils. I think he quite enjoyed it."
Nick, who conceived the film, and Irish actor Chris attended the premiere alongside their co-stars Rashida Jones, Olivia Colman and Kayvan Novak, as well as singer Paloma Faith.
Other stars on the red carpet included Lake Bell and Simon Pegg, who are currently filming the movie 'Man Up' together in London.
The film hits cinemas in the UK on February 14.

Challenging some of the stars of her father's films for working with him, Dylan wrote: "What if it had been your child, Cate Blanchett?"
The 'Lord of the Rings' star attempted to distance herself from the scandal over the weekend and said: "It's obviously been a long and painful situation for the family. I hope they find some resolution and peace."

George Clooney is planning to pull another "downright dirty" prank on Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.
'The Monuments Men' star is eager to get back at the comediennes for jokingly describing the movie 'Gravity,' in which he stars alongside Sandra Bullock, as "the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age," when they hosted the Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles last month.
The 52-year-old star actor, who already forged an angry letter from his co-star Matt Damon, without his knowledge, and sent it to Tina, is planning something much bigger as the former '30 Rock' star urged him to "step it the f**k up" but isn't sure he has the guts to pull it off.
He told 'Entertainment Weekly Radio' on Sirius XM in a new interview that will air on Friday (07.02.14): "[They] said step it up. That's the appetizer and what's coming now, the main course, is pretty brutal."
He added: "This one is one that I have it in my hotel room set -- taking pictures and stuff -- I'm sitting there like, 'If I do this, this is downright dirty.' I have to think if I'm actually going to do it or not."
Matt, 43, revealed during an interview on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' on Wednesday (05.02.14) that he only found out about George's prank letter when he received an apology letter from Tina and Amy with two fruit baskets.
