EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Oscar winner Jared Leto transforms into Paolo Gucci for the new film "House of Gucci," which was directed by Ridley Scott.

On Spectrum News 1's "The LA Times Envelope Roundtable," Leto opens up to host Michael Ordona about going unrecognizable for the role.

"I enjoy the transformative process," Leto said. "It's not like a requirement of mine, but I enjoy it, and I think it just really depends on the role at hand. And it's the vision that you have. It wasn't scripted. For Paolo, the character that we see is based on the character in real life."

The roundtable also features actors Javier Bardem, Benedict Cumberbatch, Peter Dinklage, Andrew Garfield and Oscar Isaac. Click the arrow above to see Leto discuss the film.
