Even stars like Jared Leto get a little starstruck sometimes!
The Blade Runner 2049 star was a guest on Thursday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, where he revealed what it was like working on a film with Harrison Ford for the first time.
In the movie, Leto plays Niander Wallace, a blind villain. He had to wear custom-made contacts that blurred out his eyes and explained to host Ellen DeGeneres how he couldn't see out of them at all.
"They were very thick, so I couldn't see much of anything," he revealed. "Which was good, because it was one less thing that I had to worry about. But I had a really great teacher. A young guy named Chris, who came last night to the premiere of the film. He taught me everything that I needed to know. He lost his sight at a very young age and he's just the sweetest, most gentle...

Dee Jay Silver is still in shock over the tragic shooting that took place in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
In an exclusive interview with Et, the Nashville recording artist recalls the exact moment he and his wife, Jenna, learned that their 1-year-old son, Wake, was just a few hotel rooms down from where the shooter, Stephen Paddock, opened fire from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort around 10 p.m.
At the time of the shooting, country music star Jason Aldean was performing to a crowd at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. Dee Jay Silver (real name John Perdue) was on the same stage just moments before the gunfire began, and his son was staying at the hotel with Jenna's Aunt Mary.
"I walked offstage like every day, took my in-ears out ... and walked offstage to find my wife," Dee Jay explains to Et's Nischelle Turner. "We heard a pop and I thought my ears...

Big & Rich are completely “heartbroken” over the deadly Las Vegas shooting that claimed the lives of 59 people and injured 527.
Big Kenny and John Rich, who opened for headliner Jason Aldean, performed at Sunday’s Route 91 Harvest festival less than two hours before gunshots were heard.
Tragically, the pair revealed a fan they met prior to their performance was killed when gunman Stephen Paddock opened fire on the festival crowd of more than 22,000 from his 32nd-floor hotel room at the nearby Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, in what is now the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

What’s better than playing video games? Hacking them of course! And luckily for you, it can be done relatively easy with some pretty nifty tech. So if you want to create a brand new controller, or even see a fully-functioning Portal turret, be sure to read on…
Spoiler: Some Of These Creations Are Absolutely Awesome 1. Makey Makey: How To Turn Anything Into An Input Device (a.k.a. Controller)
Jay Silver from SparkFun and Eric Rosenbaum from MIT Kickstarted a very niche project that allows you to convert almost anything into an input device for your computer.
“How?” you may ask. Well, put simply, the Makey Makey uses the Human Interface Device (Hid) protocol to communicate key presses, mouse clicks, and mouse movements to your computer. But by using high resistance switching, the Makey Makey is able to close a switch even through random materials like fruit, leaves, and play-doh.
