Elijah Wood: Jared Leto attacked me over band criticism
It seems Hollywood feuds aren’t just restricted to female stars - Elijah Wood has confirmed that he was attacked by Jared Leto at the MTVU Woodie Awards in New York last year.
The incident happened after Elijah described Jared’s band 30 Seconds to Mars as “f***king awful” in an interview with Blender magazine in 2003.
In an interview with Jane magazine, Elijah revealed Jared approached him at the awards show in October: “He was basically upset at the fact that I said I didn’t like his band. He said that initially and then walked away.”
“I guess he thought I was laughing at him but I was more shell-shocked and telling people around me, ‘Whoa, I just got told off by Jared Leto for not liking his band.’ And that’s when he came back and grabbed me.”
“I told Jared it wasn’t personal. He acted like I’d been disrespecting him or speaking about his family. Things like that don’t generally happen to me. I’m very non-confrontational. The whole thing was kind of ridiculous.”

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion whats it matter if Elijah thinks their c**p. Regarding Jared being hotter than Elijah atleast Elijah has great personal hygiene, Jared is a scruff!

Just think about it. You’re on the bus minding you’re own forehead–just going about your life. When you hear some creature in the back of the bus make a snide remark about your… um..forehead.
Being human you’re bit upset. So, what do you do?

On another news site’s comments, someone said that Elijah wasn’t telling the full story, and that he had made comments about his brother (Shannon Leto)… dunno whether that’s true.
I love both of them… But Jared looks and sings better, so sorry Elijah.

Jared had every right to say something if he was slagging off shannon! don’t care what any1 says but 30 seconds are the best band around at the moment…jared respects his fans and Elijah Wood is prob jelous of jared because jared is getting somewhere outside of the film industry!!!

I really think it’s ridiculous. everybody is automatically taking Jared Leto’s side because he’s, in their words, ‘hot’. elijah is waaaaaaaaay better/hotter/cuter than jared ANYDAY. elijah was not ’slagging shannon leto off’. end of. he’s not like that. jared leto is just so full of himself. ridiculous.

You guys really need to stop assuming and for the person below me there are more people on that hobbits side so don’t even start making it look like Jared is the bad guy. Elijah said his band sucked and he said something about his brother Shannon Leto. So how about you shove EW up your a*****e.
Jared> Elijah Wood anyday.
Dont even get me started on how many talents Jared has compared to the only actor dumbass Elijah Woods.

I think Elijah has the right to state his opinion and Jared was being a p***y about it. Jared Leto is kind of a freak, get over it.

Echelon gather it’s time to attack Elijah Wood. Crime slander against Jared and Shannon. (He’s lucky it’s only an attack if he’d of called Tomo aswell it would have been murder lol)
