‘I LOVE YOUR HAIR!’ : Jared Leto makes a young fan’s dream come true at Suicide Squad premiere
The actor hoisted the girl out of the crowd and walked her down the red carpet
JARED Leto made a young fan's dream come true last night as he plucked her out of the crowd and walked her down the red carpet at the Suicide Squad premiere in London.
Seven-year-old Ivy Rumford and her mum Teresa had joined fans at the European premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square hoping to catch a glimpse of their idol.
Teresa and Ivy are huge Jared fans, especially of his band Thirty Seconds to Mars, and are known to the Hollywood star, who has met them at his concerts and signings – and even got Ivy up on stage before.
As they waited patiently for the cast of the film to arrive, Jared turned up and headed over to chat to fans, but Teresa said Ivy got a little upset at first.
Speaking to the Sun Online, she said: “Ivy was upset as he didn’t see her at first and she had a little cry.
“Then some awesome guy lifted her onto his shoulders and Jared then saw her! He waved and shouted to the man, ‘pass her here’, and lifted her over the barrier.”

Teresa, who lives in Cambridgeshire, said Jared carried her in his arms and chatted away to her.
Teresa added: “He said he loved her hair and then asked her if she’d like to walk the red carpet with him. And Ivy being Ivy she jumped at the chance!
“She’s met him five times now and has been on stage with him in Nottingham a couple of years ago. He’s always really lovely to her.”
Jared, 44, was in the capital for the premiere of the eagerly-awaited Suicide Squad, one of the films which are part of the DC Extended Universe.
The actor even donned a long green coat and pink trousers in a nod to his character The Joker, as he was joined by co-stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie and Cara Delevingne.
The film tells the story of a secret government agency that recruits imprisoned supervillains to execute dangerous black ops missions and save the world from a powerful threat in exchange for clemency.
It opens across the UK tomorrow from midnight.
