Jared Leto has said it was “hard work, an Oscar and a Gucci deal” that propelled him from GQ’s worst dressed man in 2013 to its Men of the Year list in 2017.

The Dallas Buyers Club actor, who won a supporting Academy Award for playing a character with Aids, was named actor of the year at the ceremony, where he said he hoped his trajectory was an inspiration for all.
