Actor, Jared Leto  has become the first person to ever legally climb to the top of the Empire State Building in New York City. He climbed from the 86th floor and to the 104th in 20 minutes.

He told the Today show,”… I have to be honest, it was very, very hard. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.”

When asked what made it difficult, he said, “Just the endurance that it took, the stamina that it took, and it was very sharp.” Jared showed the camera how bloodied his hands got while he was climbing.

He also took in the view once he reached the top saying, “It’s incredible … To watch the sun rise overlooking the city that’s meant so much to me,” he added. “Ever since I was a kid, New York stood for the place that you went to make your dreams come true.”

The stunt was done to promote his band, Thirty Seconds to Mars, upcoming world tour.
