Jared Leto has once again become the subject of widespread discussion following the release of a BBC documentary examining years of allegations against the Oscar-winning actor and musician.

Although unrelated to the allegations explored in the documentary, the latest report has added another layer to the ongoing public scrutiny surrounding the actor, bringing renewed focus to claims about his reported conduct behind the scenes.

A new report has alleged that Jared Leto made several unusual requests while filming Disney's Tron: Ares. Citing anonymous production sources, the Page Six report details claims about the actor's alleged conduct behind the scenes, including how crew members were expected to interact with him and the accommodations allegedly made during production.

"Eye contact of any kind," was allegedly discouraged by the Dallas Buyers Club actor, according to one production source, who also claimed the actor refused to speak out of character and made several odd requests during filming. The insider further alleged that assistants were expected to hold open doors and even carry the actor's cape while he remained immersed in his role.

"He's not a good guy. There's no soul behind his eyes. He was a horrible vibe while working with him and he made people uncomfortable. It was really hard to talk to him, if he even tried to talk to us," told another insider on Wednesday about Leto. The same insider, who once toured with Leto, also alleged that the actor wanted a fisherman brought in to catch and prepare fresh fish every day during production. The allegations were first reported by Page Six.

Jared Leto denies allegations featured in BBC Documentary

The Page Six report comes days after the BBC released Jared Leto: Hollywood's Dark Secret, a documentary featuring allegations from ten women who accused the actor and musician of sexual misconduct between 2002 and 2016. The broadcaster said interviews, photographs, messages and other contemporaneous material gathered during its investigation supported many of the women's accounts.

"I have never s******* a******** anyone in my entire life. These claims are absolutely and categorically false," Leto said in a statement to Page Six on Wednesday, denying every allegation featured in the documentary. The actor has also denied similar allegations previously published by Air Mail.

Although the allegations explored in the BBC documentary are unrelated to the claims about Leto's reported behavior during the filming of Tron: Ares, the timing of the two reports has placed renewed attention on the actor. While the documentary examines accusations spanning more than a decade, Page Six's report focuses on anonymous sources describing Leto's alleged conduct in a professional setting during the production of the Disney film, adding a separate dimension to the ongoing public conversation surrounding him.
