Jared Leto found his missing Oscars back.
The actor has finally rediscovered his Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, nearly a decade after its mysterious disappearance during a house move.
The star of Dallas Buyers Club revealed the happy news on Instagram Sunday, sharing photos of himself holding the golden statue with the caption, “Found my Oscar.”
The revelation comes years after Leto, 52, admitted to losing the coveted award in a 2018 move.
Speaking to James Corden in a 2021 interview, the actor recalled how the disappearance initially went unmentioned.
“I don’t think anyone wanted to tell me,” Leto said. “But I had moved houses in LA, and then when we moved, it somehow just magically kind of disappeared.”
The Thirty Seconds to Mars frontman shared that a tiring search for the missing Oscar had led to no good at the time.
“It could be somewhere, but everyone’s searched for it high and low . . . I hope it’s in good hands wherever it is. We haven’t seen it for quite some time,” he added.
When asked by Corden if it could have been stolen, Leto acknowledged the possibility. “I think it’s a good possibility . . . it’s not something someone accidentally throws in the trash,” he said, though he maintained an optimistic perspective.
“I remember the night I got it, I passed it around to so many people . . . It was beat up and scratched up, but people had fun taking pictures with it. It’s nice to share it, so hopefully someone is taking good care of it,” Leto remarked during the interview.
