Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Mark Lindsay Chapman, who plays John Lennon, was actually born with that name and was fired from a 1985 TV movie about Lennon for being 'too close to the assassin's name.'
Leto gained weight by eating microwaved pints of ice cream mixed with soy sauce and olive oil—he wanted to feel as 'heavy and uncomfortable' as Chapman.
