Ignorance may have been contemplative bliss for Jared Leto.

The Oscar-winning actor tweeted early on Tuesday mroning that he had “no idea what was happening” after 12 days of silent meditation in a desert.

In that time, the coronavirus had officially become a pandemic, prompting drastic changes to day-to-day life in countries around the globe.

“Walked out yesterday into a very different world,” he wrote on Twitter.” One that’s been changed forever. Mind blowing - to say the least.”

The Dallas Buyers Club star, who explained that he had been totally isolated at the retreat facility, said he was catching up on everything and sending “positive energy” to everyone.

“Stay inside,” he wrote. “Stay safe.”

Wow. 12 days ago I began a silent meditation in the desert. We were totally isolated. No phone, no communication etc. We had no idea what was happening outside the facility.

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.

Hope you and yours are ok. Sending positive energy to all.

Stay inside. Stay safe.

Many Twitter followers returned the good wishes, but one person pointed out that a tweet from Jared’s account was posted during the time period in which the actor had said he was in isolation without a phone or other means of communication.

Wait, so who's been tweeting on your account for the past 2 weeks then? Like this one from a week ago. https://t.co/6HlVdtZrj0

Anyway, Jared, you missed a lot.

The world is hunkering down and the entertainment industry that provides your living is nearly shuttered for now.
