Jared Leto apologised after swearing live on radio during the press tour for his upcoming Sony-Marvel movie Morbius.
On The Chris Moyles Show, the actor discussed Morbius, his love for director Sir Ridley Scott and his recent appearance in House of Gucci before letting the phrase "s*** your pants" escape.
Moyles asked Leto: "Do you feel comfortable on day one on the set of a film like House of Gucci with Ridley Scott, with the acting talent that you are gonna share the screen with? Do you go in on day one going, 'I'm looking forward to this?' or is there any kind of nerves?"

Leto was quick to respond: "In some ways, you kinda s*** your pants..." before everyone quickly spotted the slip-up, including an abashed Leto.
"Where I come from, that's a term of affection, sorry!" Leto explained. "Over here, man, I thought you guys got a little looser than that."

Moyles agreed, adding that while off the air swearing was pretty much the main language in the UK, on the air was a different story. After apologising to the listeners, they both joked that the Morbius actor was in fact referring to "sheets and pillows" instead.
"That's it, you had 'sheets in your pants'." Moyles laughed.
