Oscar-winner and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto is only just now learning about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic for the first time. According to Consequence of Sound, Leto entered an isolated silent meditation retreat in the desert 12 days ago. He and his co-meditators unplugged, putting away their phones and turning off all communication devices. Upon leaving the desert they were bombarded with information about coronavirus, almost certainly disrupting all the peace they’d earned over the last two weeks.
Leto described the experience in an Instagram post:
“Walked out yesterday into a very different world. One that’s been changed forever. Mind blowing — to say the least.”
