After Leto initially approached Wood, the Lord of the Rings actor tried to laugh it off. He says, "I guess he thought I was laughing at him, but I was more shell-shocked and telling people around me, 'Whoa, I just got told off by Jared Leto for not liking his band.' And that's when he came back and grabbed me."

Elijah still seems weirded out by the experience. He told Jane, "I told Jared it wasn't personal. He acted like I'd been disrespecting him or speaking about his family. Things like that don't generally happen to me. I'm very non-confrontational. The whole thing was kind of ridiculous."

At the time, a source for gossip blog, Dlisted dished on the fight. The spy said, "Jared starts whispering stuff in [Elijah's] ear and occasionally pulling back to look him in the face. Jared then walks away and Elijah turns to his date...and says something. Well something about this must have pissed Jared off because he comes running back to the table, grabs Elijah by the neck and starts screaming at him. All I could catch was Jared calling him a 'f**king asshole.' He then shoves Elijah and storms off. Bodyguards come up and Elijah assures everyone he's fine."
