Jared Leto reveals he was TEAR GASSED in Italy after getting caught up in an anti-vaxx protest in Italy

Oscar winner Jared Leto was pictured strolling through Rome last Saturday hours before he got tear gassed while attending a vaccine protest in Italy. 

The 49-year-old actor - sporting a Thirty Seconds to Mars T-shirt - took to his Instagram story to reveal he was attending a vaccine protest when police arrived and he was tear gassed.

He would go on to share photos and videos he took at the protest as well.

'Got caught in a protest in Italy. From what I gather it was about vaccine mandates/green pass,' Leto said on his Instagram story.

'Got teargassed then called it a night.'

He shared video footage of the riot on his Instagram story as well, but it doesn't show him getting tear gassed. 

The protest was seemingly against new mandates in Italy that will require workers to have a Green Pass, which verifies employees have had at least one COVID-19 shot. 

As of this Friday, any employee who fails to provide their Green Pass will be suspended from their job without pay. 

Leto has been keeping plenty busy with a spate of new movies, including Morbius, which was recently pushed to 2022.

Sony Pictures revealed on Monday that they are pushing their Spider-Man spin-off Morbius into Fall 2021, according to Deadline.  

While the movie was currently slated to arrive on March 19, it will now hit theaters on October 8, which could be the first of many spring projects to move.

While it's unclear if there are any direct ties to Venom, Morbius does have a connection to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with Michael Keaton returning as Adrian Toomes a.k.a. Vulture, from 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Morbius follows biochemist Michael Morbius (Jared Leto), who suffers from a rare blood condition and is working furiously to find a cure for himself.

While working on this cure, he ultimately injects himself with a form of vampirism instead.

Leto stars alongside Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Tyrese Gibson and Al Madrigal in the film from director Daniel Espinosa (Life) and writers Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Power Rangers).
