Leto was well-known for his long, flowing ombré, but cut his hair short to portray the Joker in Suicide Squad earlier this week. The star likely dyed his locks blond in order to transition to the DC Comics villain's traditionally green tresses.

Suicide Squad co-stars Margot Robbie, Will Smith and Cara Delevingne, and opens in theaters August 5, 2016. The movie follows the titular team of antihero villains as they carry out dangerous missions for the U.S. government in exchange for commuted prison sentences.

Leto last appeared with Matthew McConaughey in Dallas Buyers Club, and won an Academy Award for his portrayal of Rayon in the film. The actor also fronts rock band 30 Seconds to Mars, and released Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams in May 2013.
