Jared Leto, who stars in WeCrashed, said he knew he would regret not meeting with Adam Neumann before embodying the former WeWork CEO for the Apple TV+ series.
“I didn’t want to play a villain, especially villainize someone who’s still alive,” the Morbius star said during a panel for the show at Deadline’s Contenders Television event.
As part of his research, Leto said he secretly met with Neumann to inform his portrayal. The actor said he felt an “obligation” to represent the businessman with dignity and grace despite the co-working space’s major downfall. The meeting, however, remained a secret to series showrunners and creators Lee Eisenberg and Drew Crevello, who said they didn’t learn of the private conversation until Neumann later admitted that Leto reached out.
WeCrashed follows the greed-filled rise and inevitable fall of WeWork, one of the world’s most valuable startups, and the narcissists whose chaotic love made it all possible. WeWork grew from a single co-working space into a global brand worth $47 billion in under a decade. Then, in less than a year, its value plummeted. What happened?
In addition to meeting the real-life figure behind his character, Leto’s research also included working closely with a voice coaching team to nail down Neumann’s Israeli accent.

Leto may be a spitting image of Neumann when he appears opposite Anne Hathaway’s Rebekah Neumann, but that wasn’t accidental at all, Crevello said.
“We had a picture of Jared up [when looking for inspiration],” he said.

Selome Hailu SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you haven’t watched “The One With All the Money,” the series finale of “WeCrashed.”Despite starring in a limited series about the very public demise of a somewhat cult-like multi-billion dollar company, Kyle Marvin is rather uninterested in drama.“It’s easy to poke fun at people, and it’s hard to empathize with people,” says Marvin, who plays WeWork co-founder Miguel McKelvey in “WeCrashed.” “I think we’re hardwired for the salacious version of these stories. We’re hardwired to call this true crime, and hunt for, ‘When was he an asshole? When did he punch someone in the face?’ We’re always hunting for something nasty.”This perspective makes sense, given Miguel’s role in the story. Adam Neumann (Jared Leto) is the wild-eyed face of the company, comparing himself to a god and earnestly envisioning himself as the world’s first trillionaire.

green-haired, tattooed maniac? A balding fashion scion? A gaunt, gangrenous heroin addict?
