Actor and 30 Seconds to Mars singer, Jared Leto, became the first ever person to climb up the Empire State Building on Thursday – or at least the last part of it.

The 51-year-old Leto climbed the Empire State Building to announce the launch of Thirty Seconds to Mars’ 2024 Seasons world tour in support of the band’s latest record It’s The End Of The World But It’s A Beautiful Day.

On his reason for choosing to climb the Empire State Building, Leto was quoted as saying “The building is a testament of all the things that can be done in the world if we put our minds to it, which is largely the inspiration behind our most recent album.”

Before everyone gets too impressed with the star, Leto only climbed the section between floor 86 and the top of the building, which took him about 20 minutes. This may sound like cheating, but it is the most anyone has ever climbed on the building.

“And as a young kid, I wanted to be an artist, and New York was the place that you came to be an artist. And the Empire State Building was always that symbol for me.”

Speaking to the press after he ‘scaled’ the building, Leto said he was ‘more excited than nervous’ to be climbing the skyscraper.

“But I have to be honest, it was very, very hard. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be,” he said. “Just the endurance that it took, the stamina that it took, and it was very sharp.”

“I’ve always had a fascination with the Empire State Building and I love to climb. We’re launching a world tour, 30 Seconds to Mars is back on the road.”

Obviously, the star was well secured with ropes and harnesses during his climb, but he still sported some nasty cuts and bruises after the stunt. It may not have been a full climb, but still an impressive feat for a 51-year-old.
