If you had told me in the mid-nineties that in twenty years the following things would happen, I would have laughed myself stupid:

• Blink 182 would still be played on the radio
• Two of the tough-guys from the movie “Predator” would be elected Governor
• Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto would be Oscar Award Winners

None of those things could have been predicted, not even by Miss Cleo.  But Jared Leto’s career has led me to an interesting discovery, you can tell a person’s age by how they know Jared Leto.

I asked my boss this question, “How do you know Jared Leto?” My boss graduated high-school in 1998 and her answer was, “My So-Called Life”.  Since my boss is only one year older than me, this is the answer I was expecting.  Even though I did not have television growing up, I absolutely knew who the hot guy was from that TV show, as did most people from my generation.  

I posed this same question to another co-worker who is roughly 7-years my junior, “How do you know Jared Leto?” His answer was, “30 Seconds To Mars”.  Which is an alternative rock band Leto formed with his brother. 

My teenage children know him as the Joker in “Suicide Squad” and they both think he is an absolute hunk! Which totally cracks me up, because I think he’s super hot and it weirds me out that my kids and I are drooling over the same guy…

My parents know him from his Oscar winning performance and subsequence speech for the movie, “Dallas Buyers Club”.  

So, if you are ever curious how old a person is, bring up Jared Leto and see how they know him.  You’ll have your answer!
