Jimmy Fallon gave Jared Leto a mini-makeover.

When the 30 Seconds to Mars rocker stopped by NBC's The Tonight Show Wednesday, he agreed to let the host take his beard "down a notch." Regarding his resemblance to Jesus Christ, the Oscar-winning Dallas Buyers Club actor, 42, joked to Fallon, 39, "It's interesting because I have been asked to do some resurrections lately and they're incredibly exhausting. In a sermon on a mountain once in a while is OK.

Fallon then told his guest, "I have the clippers right here, if you don't mind."

Before Fallon got to work, Leto said, "Right here, right now—holy s--t! Have you ever done this before?"

Fallon hadn't, which made Leto understandably "nervous."

"Since the Oscars I've been growing this," he said of his scruff. "I'm very attached to it."

Midway through the trim, Fallon switched blades. "How's that right there?" he asked upon completion.

"You trimmed my bush really good," Leto joked.

In the same episode, Fallon and Leto had an "intense staredown" while sitting near a mountaintop—well, near a green-screened mountaintop. "I have achieved full and complete balance. My heart beats once per minute. My body is an arid tundra," Fallon said during his meditation. Meanwhile, his celebrity guest revealed, "I am a succubus. Sexual energy emanates from my epidermis. I smell of ocean birds."

It got weirder from there. Watch the clip to see them ponder life's greatest mysteries.
