It seems Jared Leto doesn't like it when people diss his band, 30 Seconds to Mars. This was a bitter lesson Elijah Wood learned when the two got into a hobbit-sized scuffle in October at the MTVU Woodie Awards.
This titbit of recycled drama was needlessly resurrected when Wood, who is obviously mature enough to let things go, recently detailed the spat in a recent interview for Jane magazine (where he no doubt also reveals his secrets to flawless, timeless skin). We're all sure to see some quick resolution now that it's been brought out into the open, because that worked so well for Rosie O’Donnell and Donald Trump.
Apparently, Jared Leto got his undies all in a bunch after Elijah Wood made this statement in past interview:
"I would never try to be like other actors and attempt to make (music) myself. I mean, have you heard 30 Seconds to Mars? … awful, man!"
Jared Leto, it seems, held a bit of a grudge towards the former Frodo. During an encounter at the awards show, Leto grabbed Wood and tried to choke him, and gave him a talking to that made our young, impressionable ears burn. How dare Elijah insult Jared’s genre-hopping antics! Woody better not make the same mistake again if Jared ends up peddling his own perfume and fashion lines like EVERY OTHER STAR (we’re looking at you, J-Lo, Paris and Britney). Elijah Wood continued to explain his side saying,
"I told Jared it wasn't personal… He acted like I'd been disrespecting him or speaking about his family… The whole thing was kind of ridiculous."
Ridiculous? Yes. Not personal? No. Isolating one band to represent your disdain for an entire class of celebrities is pretty personal.
Leto's also been making news recently for other angst-related issues, such as picking fights with photographers and club-hoppers at the Sundance Film Festival. All of these outbursts may just be a manifestation of deeper issues. Was he not loved as a child? Is he crying out for attention in the only way he knows how? Or can it be traced to the actuality that people still only recognise him from the nineties teen drama, My So-Called Life. We think Jerry just needs a big hug.
So, just for kicks and giggles, who would you put your money on if they had come to blows? Besides being taller, Jared has the angry, druggy, rocker thing going, but Elijah has battled trolls and stuff, so he probably fights dirty.
Hmmm… We can’t decide. It’s probably a moot point because they'd most likely just sissy-slap one another and pull each other’s hair.

Greg says
–Very funny! Those two wimps would just spank each other as in a women’s mud match in a redneck bar..
Tye says
I Heard Elijah Dissed Shannon, and thats what got Jared pissed, you shouldn’t ever mess with the Leto brothers, as for the fight, i’d put all my savings on Jared anyday, Elijah is a Pussy, Jared has the strength and guts to beat the living sh*t out of Elijah. remember in LOTR 3 when Elijah has no shirt on, and then ofcourse Jared has several pictures with no shirt, tell me, who looked stronger?
debbiecohen says
everyone is starting to hate jared leto i like jared 100% better then these other fans .
Faye says
I think Jarod would only have to let out one of those heart-stopping screams and shine his beautiful teeth at Elijah and he would start crying like a Newborn Hobbit.
Cierra says
Jared is totally way hotter than Mr. hobbit freak a zoid and i think Jared would beat the crap out of Elijah and i would love to see it because the lord of ring movies are probably the most gayest longest crappy movies EVER!!! aND I TOTALLY LOVE 30stm they are like one of the best bands ever and my favorite Jared I hope you read this because i Know you would win the fight. Ilove you Jared
Duston says
Jared is a poseur and so is his band
pazxitha says

angela says
Jared leto…the best and the most hadsome men of the world.
He´s perfect, his eyes, his mouth, his body his everything.
HE IS THE BEEEEEEEEEEEST…..I LOVE HIM.
Isyl says
OMG. Okay, so I totally love the LOTR, both movies and books. However, I cannot for any reason see why Elijah, however big and blue his eyes are, would diss 30 Seconds to Mars, one of my absolute favorite bands. And as for who would win in a fight, I would have to say Jared, all the way, cuz even though Elijah’s “fought trolls” and whatnot (which he didn’t really do in the movie, since they cut that part, and he was only Frodo in the movie) it was totally acting with all the choreography and all. I mean, look at the guy. He looks like he’s younger than my little sister. On the other hand, Jared… oh, wow.
vandalina!! says
Jared leto ti amo!!
ari gold says
for clarification, Jared Leto isn’t on drugs. This article is a shameful piece of ‘journalism’.
First rule of Journalism, you don’t compromise yourself by who you like ~*~more~*~.
Personally I think Elijah had no right to say that about 30 Seconds To Mars.
The point being, Elijah wouldn’t make music because he CAN’T make music. That’s why he only DJs now and then. And with a laptop.
As he said himself “DJ purists would hate me.”
Seems that musicians are starting to hate you too Lij, keep your trap shut like it belongs.
And don’t talk trash about Shannon Leto.
Jesse says
I don’t care how famous or “omg like omg he’s like so f***ing HOT” someone is, and they assaulted me like that, I’d press charges. I didn’t know Leto could get anymore immature then he already is, hmmm guess I was proved wrong. But hey, I used to be a fan but I backed out as soon as he started assaulting the people that pay HIM with microphones! And for those people trying to label Leto’s actions as a noble defence of his brother, then your just as immature as he is. What gives celebrities the right to lay hands on other people and get away with it? It makes me sick.
bob says
Elijah Wood is like, so stupid. He was saying that Jared shouldn’t over-react coz it’s not like he dissed his family or something. Jared feels like his band members are his family, and his fucking brother is in the band. Now, on the lighter note of things, I would like to ssmack Elijah Wood upside his hobbit face, and tell him “You fuck with 30STM, or anyone in 30STM, you fuck with the Echelon.” So prepare to recieve some VERY abuive emails fucker.
Shelby says
FACE IT ELIJAH WOOD IS A LOW LIFE DICK HEAD HE IS JUST PISSED OFF COZ HE HAS NEVER GOT LAID HES LUCKY I WAZENT THERE THAT NIGHT COZ I WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM NO I WOULD BATTER HIM AND LET JARED FINISH HIM OFF THEN WE WOULD [ ME AN JARED] KICK THE ASSES OF ENEBODY WHO DISSED US THEN ME JARED TOMO AND SANNON WOULD TORCH THE PLACE [ TOMO SOME HOW CARRYS A TIN OF PETROL!] THEN SHANNON AND TOMO WOULD GO IN THERE ROOMS AND SLEEP AND I WOULD FUCK JARED LIKE HAD NEVER BEEN FUCKED BEFORE!!!!! :] ME+JARED=LOVE!!! :]
Emily says
@Shelby
So what, you’re like 12?
I think it was unprofessional of Elijah to talk about 30STM like that, and even more unprofessional if he did say something about Shannon.
My money’s on Jared.
He looks pretty buff in the From Yesterday video.
twinkle says
“He acted like I’d been disrespecting him or speaking about his family” well technically he is because his brother is in the band too lol.
They both have amazing eyes!
Amy says
OH MY GOD !!! Elijah is such a bastard! WHO WOULD EVER SAY THAT TO 30 seconds to MARS!!????????????????????? Theyre like the best band ever!! <3 Shannon Leto nd Jared Leto are the HOTTEST!!! most AMAZING band members in world hitory and they shouldnt let someone who’s a low life backstabbin bastard like ELIJAH WOOD (EWE!!!!!) say stuff about them! cheers for Jared Leto! I THINK HE DID THE RIGHT THING BREAKIN WOOD’S NOSE!!!!!! BURN IN HELL ELIJAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! << BURN IN HELL!!!!
daintypeony says
ELIJAH is retarded. 30stm IS HIS FAMILY, its a band created by him and his brother for crying out loud! Do some research before making some crappy excuse in dissing people.
If I’m in Jared’s shoe, I’d be choking that prick too. Whoever dis my family deserve to die!
whocares says
oh god would you read what you wrote? jared is gay that’s point one second elijah has every rights to his opinion and third elijah is way to good looking i’ll go at anyone who disses him you mentally retard!
sam says
may ask? what gives ‘others’ the right to personally target someone who has worked extremely hard at something?
grgkrk says
dude why do you hate jared leto so much? dont hate because your prob some fat ugly hater who is jealous of him his music is good and frodo is a fag for sam
Paulien says
its funny that Wood said it seemed like he was dissing jared’s family instead of his band.
Jared sees his ‘band’ and ‘fans’ as a family
Talia says
What the hell is that guy on about 30 seconds to mars make great music, he did go on about his family and his kinda extended family. Burn in hell frodo!!!!!!!
Sarah says
Woah!
It seems to me ridiculous that Elijah dissed 30stm (okay he could dissed any band, however, he didn’t).
What does he want to say with that. Ok man, you don’t like them, but is it really important for you to say that to everybody.
If he hadn’t, Jared wouldn’t grabed you or something like that.
Awful gossip. Who can tell me now that all had happend like that?
I just think it was PR. However, maybe one of them wasn’t in the news.
I think it was Elijah. Just a thought, because he still isn’t.
JenRoe says
Jared is straight hood. He don’t play that shit. See, what this little bitch Elijah didn’t mention was that he was high as fuck the whole night, smoking weed at this table and drinking with his friends. So he’s foaming off at the mouth while Jared was standing right behind their table, thinking Jared wasn’t going to say anything. Elijah was talking shit right in front of him to all his friends. So Jared turns around, “hold on, nigga what you say? You got a problem, you talk to ME. Peace.”
After that, Elijah was still foaming at the mouth, joking with his friends saying “uh oh, I’m going to get beat up by Jared Leto lol haha” so of course Jared heard that and was like “oh HELL naw this nigga ain’t trippin’!” so Jared went back to him, and choked his ass saying “I will FUCK. YOU. UP! Ya heard? Don’t be talking about my peoplez, don’t be talking about my fucking band, or Ima fuck your ass up, little punk ass bitch ass faggot.” and walked away.
I heard Elijah cried after that because he was scared of being jumped by Jared and Shannon LOLOLOL!!!
BustaCapricorn says
Come on a rockstar vs. a hobbit? The smart money goes with Jared. Don’t talk sh*t about his band cause that is his family. Plus, Jared’s a talented and fairly well known actor in a highly respected band. You can hate his guts, but you can’t deny that, and don’t under ANY circumstances disrespect that when he’s standing within earshot of you cause that’s just as straight up rude. I have a feeling there might be some more to this story, but from everything I’ve heard about it til now Elijah Wood was way out of line. And what has Elijah Wood contributed to society anyway after LOTR?
Lesson learned from this is don’t F*CK with J and you won’t get stepped on.
Does anyone else imagine Jared saying “Is Jared Leto gonna hafta choke a bitch?” at some point during this feud?
klassie says
i just think the scuffle was funny personally im a person who always looses my temper at things others dont understand why but shit happens dudes…
Leave Jared The fuck alone yeah ? : ) says
if i were Jared and someone said that about my band i would have got my Echelon family to beat the fuck out of him, and then i wouldne chopped off his balls
wtf man elijah or whatever the fuck his name is
had no right to say that, shouldve shoved a ring in his mouth little hobbit
i love you jared <3
Jaz says
LMAO…u won’t mess with Jared Leto !! i mean unless you have lost your mind XD
i honestly just lost all my respect for Elijah…wtf !!
I'm doing your mom says
Well, f**k you! If we a re talking about the fight, I’ll go with Leto. Elijah has 3 pussies, 2 are located on his hands.
Amanda says
Fuck you Duston, I love you Ari Gold! And for “who cares” you should learn grammar before you go typing shit about other people. I bet my entire life’s worth of money on Jared….and you don’t piss with Shannon… You will get your ass kicked :)
TheGuyWhoWroteThePostIsAFaggotJelousFatForeverAloneSucker says
Who the hell’s the gay guy that wrote the post? I bet he’s a fat friki foreveralone 40-year-old who still wets his bed and jelous of THE PERFECTION OF JARED LETO.
Just another hater modafogga who will burn in hell.
sophie says
okay 1st when wood said about his insult to the band is like he insulted his family.. news flash the band IS HIS FAMILY his brother is the drummer and the guitarist is a very very close friend and for your info jared was loved he doesn’t need attention nor is he a drugger he just lived a hard life fighting for his dreams no money no means till he made it and if i’m not mistaken a reporter doesn’t take sides
ps: yes i am a huge fan of the band
Alexandra says
Who cares… I love both of them :D
thekkitty says
? I’ll wrap my hands around your neck with love….? Elijah knows that Jared was telling him that he love him? So it’s definitively a misunderstanding.
Emma says
Shame on you Jared Elwood is right your band is shit and go to hell,Jared.Plz agree with me that Jared is mean and cruel (and super ugly).GO ELIJAH WOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Elijah-Awesome,hot,nice,witty
Jared????????????-Cruel,ugly,mean
I LOVE YOU ELWOOD!!!
echelon says
ok I just wasted time reading your comment….however jared is not mean nor cruel you doubt it check wikki or some of his interviews and jared had every right to choke him if not kill him Elijah DID insult his family the drummer is his BROTHER and the guitarist is a brother too but not biologically and another thing if he whispered something to his ear and left that would have been it but he turned so Elijah must have said something other than he was told off by jared and by the way how old are you??…5?..3 ? really that comment was the best you got? jared ugly Elijah hot?? your band is shit?sorry let me count his awards again…oh yea over 70 so then that does not make his band shit go home little girl do some research it will open your eyes alot
