Hollywood star Jared Leto was on a silent meditation retreat and totally missed out on the coronavirus pandemic news.

Leto tweeted early Tuesday about this. "12 days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert. We were totally isolated. No phone, no communication, etc," he wrote. "We had no idea what was happening outside the facility." 

The actor, known for marching to the beat of his own drum, told his followers he "walked out yesterday into a very different world."

"One that's been changed forever. Mind blowing - to say the least. I'm getting messages from friends and family all around the globe and catching up on what's going on."

The star had a message for us all as he continues to catch up. "Hope you and yours are okay. Sending positive energy to all. Stay inside. Stay safe."

Leto was scheduled to be next seen in a starring role in the film Moribus.
