Jared Leto Believes That 'Failure Is Essential'!

Jared Leto keeps it cool and casual as he hits the red carpet while attending the 2015 Los Cabos International Film Festival Opening Night Gala held on Wednesday (November 11) in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

The 43-year-old actor was in attendance to help honor writer and director Jean-Marc Vallée, who he worked together with in Dallas Buyers Club, which earned Jared an Oscar, a SAG Award and a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Role, among other awards and recognition’s.

Jared recently opened up about why he believes that failure is essential.

“I don’t think failure is dark at all. I think that failure is what leads to success and success is oftentimes what leads us to fail,” Jared expressed at his Fast Company Innovation Festival panel. “It’s the truth and they should teach us that when we’re kids. They teach us to avoid failure, that we should jump over that chasm like its something we should be ashamed of. It’s not a dirty word, failure is essential. I’ve learned much more from my failures than I have my successes.”

FYI: Jared is wearing Vans and an Enfant Riches Déprimés shirt.
