'Suicide Squad' director David Ayer admits that Jared Leto's divisive 'damaged' tattoo was 100% his decision: 'Not every idea is a good idea.'
When Leto's take on the Clown Prince of Crime was first unveiled, with slicked back neon green hair and a canvas' worth of ostentatious tattoos, fans and critics pounced. The cursive "damaged" tattoo plastered on his forehead was a notable sticking point. Seven years later, Ayer is owning up to the fact that the most controversial element of the look was entirely his idea.
After one social media user tagged him in a post asking when the 'damaged' tattoo came into play, another responded that Ayer would never admit it if it was his idea. So the director made sure to prove them wrong. "I own the tattoo idea 100%," he wrote. "It was my choice." He went on to reveal that the concept changed over time: "Original idea is it would say 'Blessed' and not 'Damaged.'"
How does Ayer feel about his choice this many years later? "I regret that decision," the director wrote. "It created acrimony and division. Not every idea is a good idea. And I'll just be in the corner here while the internet slaps me around for this post."| Credit: Warner Bros./Courtesy Everett Collection
