Suicide Squad: Good job Jared Leto didn't send anal beads to Viola Davis

Otherwise, he would have had to deal with 'the headache ball'

Jared Leto plays iconic psychotic villain The Joker in Suicide Squad

Jared Leto did a lot of weird things to 'become' the Joker for Suicide Squad.

Firstly, he isolated himself from the rest of the cast and made them refer to him only as Mr. J. Will Smith - who plays Deadshot in the film - once said he had never met Leto out of character.

Then, it was revealed how the actor had sent a dead pig to the cast and a live rat to Margot Robbie, who plays Harley Quinn.

More recently, Leto added that he had sent anal beads and used condoms to members of the cast because "the Joker is somebody who doesn't really respect things like personal space or boundaries”.

Luckily for Leto, he didn’t send anything to How to Get Away with Murder’s Viola Davis - who plays anti-hero Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad - otherwise he would have had to deal with “the headache ball”.

"I did not receive any personally or else I would have got my husband who was called the headache ball back in the day when he played football," Davis told E!. "I would have said, 'Take care of the Joker.’”

Starring alongside Leto, Smith, Robbie and Davis in the film are Joel Kinnaman, Jai Courtney and Cara Delevingne. Ben Affleck will also reprise his role as Batman, having starred as the caped crusader in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

In other Suicide Squad news, Leto also spoke about how he met with psychopaths and murderers to get into the role of the Joker.
