Adam Neumann: Last News

Shirley Halperin Executive Editor, MusicWith Jared Leto’s performance in the Apple+ original series “WeCrashed” still echoing, and the Emmy Awards soon upon us, is it any wonder Adam Neumann remains on the minds of the media?In 2019, the WeWork cofounder was ousted from the CEO position of the company he launched with Miguel McKelvey. His eccentricities, including a party-all-the-time, spend-spend-spend ethos, played no small role in his downfall, though a golden parachute of $1.7 billion certainly helped cushion the landing.As it turns out, soon after Neumann arrived in the United States some 20 years ago, he would encounter — via his sister, Adi — another Israeli-American just making his way into the world of wealthy investors:  Guy Oseary, longtime manager of Madonna, whom Variety named Music Mogul of the Year in a cover story out this week.

Max Gao SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers from “Apple Cider Vinegar,” now streaming on Netflix. Stories about American scammers have proliferated the true-crime genre in recent years — Amanda Seyfried won an Emmy for portraying Elizabeth Holmes in Hulu’s “The Dropout,” Julia Garner played Anna Delvey in Netflix’s “Inventing Anna,” and Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway starred as Adam and Rebekah Neumann in Apple TV+’s “WeCrashed.” Now, a new Netflix miniseries from Down Under is looking to export a story that once dominated Australian pop culture in the 2010s to the rest of the world. “Apple Cider Vinegar,” which premiered on Feb.

K.J. Yossman WeWork, the corporate real estate company whose fortunes were portrayed by Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway in Apple TV+ series “WeCrashed,” has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the U.S. Thirteen years after entrepreneurs Adam Neumann and Miguel McKelvey founded the flexible working space turned wannabe lifestyle brand in 2010, it has filed for bankruptcy protection in New Jersey as part of a “comprehensive reorganization” of the business.

It’s tempting to imagine what WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann would say to Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes, given their similar public falls from grace. But short of that, we at least had the chance to listen to a conversation between the two actors who played them in recent limited series. Upon sitting down, Jared Leto (Apple TV+’s “WeCrashed”) and Amanda Seyfried (Hulu’s “The Dropout”) reveal they both approached their characters as layered humans — not mustache-twirling villains. They also had to find their real-life inspirations’ distinct voices, which was no small feat.JARED LETO: Thank you for being here.

Wilson Chapman editorBefore she was convicted of criminal fraud, Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes was a minor celebrity, featured on red carpets and magazine covers for her supposed technological innovations. In 2015, she was one of the recipients of Glamour Magazine’s Woman of the Year award, which was presented to her by Jared Leto.“I had heard her speak, before that, on stage. She was incredibly smart, and I met her after that.

From the sublime to complete, Jared Leto, Jessica Biel, Lily James, Sebastian Stan and Renée Zellweger were among those being trans- formed and techniques including 3D scans of the artist are de rigueur now.Suits, enhancements and a lot of prosthetics went into helping actors disappear into their parts.Leto is no stranger to the art of transformation.

Sasha Urban editorOut of the bustling ecosystem of this season’s true crime dramas and docs, “The Dropout,” Hulu’s dynamic adaptation of the ABC News podcast about disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, has emerged as an innovative creation in the sub-genre of scam TV. But when she created the series, showrunner Elizabeth Meriwether didn’t see it that way at first.“I never really thought of ‘The Dropout’ as a scam show,” she says.

WeWork founder and former CEO Adam Neumann, who steered his real estate office company through some disastrous decisions, only to walk away from it with $1.7 billion, was a tell-tale ripe for a binge-viewing era.

Jenelle Riley Deputy Awards, Features EditorWhen Jared Leto took on the starring role in Apple TV+’s “We Crashed” playing Adam Neumann, he says he didn’t have know a lot about the co-founder of WeWork. Neumann was often portrayed in the media as an eccentric mogul — someone who wanted to build offices on the planet Mars, often went without shoes and claimed to have close connections to political figures that gave him a voice in world events.“I didn’t really have any preconceived ideas, I just heard that he was a pretty colorful character; that he was a fascinating guy, that he was great in the room, a great salesperson,” Leto says on this week’s edition of Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast.

, the fascinating limited drama about the meteoric rise of a $47 billion startup called WeWork, came to an epic end, chronicling the downfall of its eccentric co-founder, Adam Neumann (Jared Leto), and his ambitious wife, Rebekah (Anne Hathaway), in the series finale. While speaking to ET, creators and showrunners Lee Eisenberg and Drew Crevello broke down the final moments of the episode, “The One With All the Money,” and the story behind Katy Perry’s “Roar,” as heard throughout the series.With mounting pressure to go public, Adam and Rebekah come up with a wildly fantastical S-1 filing that’s met with a disastrous reaction from inside and outside of the company.

Selome Hailu SPOILER ALERT: Do not read if you haven’t watched “The One With All the Money,” the series finale of “WeCrashed.”Despite starring in a limited series about the very public demise of a somewhat cult-like multi-billion dollar company, Kyle Marvin is rather uninterested in drama.“It’s easy to poke fun at people, and it’s hard to empathize with people,” says Marvin, who plays WeWork co-founder Miguel McKelvey in “WeCrashed.” “I think we’re hardwired for the salacious version of these stories. We’re hardwired to call this true crime, and hunt for, ‘When was he an asshole? When did he punch someone in the face?’ We’re always hunting for something nasty.”This perspective makes sense, given Miguel’s role in the story. Adam Neumann (Jared Leto) is the wild-eyed face of the company, comparing himself to a god and earnestly envisioning himself as the world’s first trillionaire.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorWhen it came to recreating the offices of WeWork, the company that made and lost billions of dollars, production designer Amy Williams was told she could go as big as she possibly could.The communal office space world is depicted in the Apple TV+ series “WeCrashed,” which comes to an end on Friday. The show charts the rise and fall of founders Adam Neumann, played by Jared Leto, and his wife Rebekah Paltrow Neumann, played by Anne Hathaway.Williams was excited as a designer to dip into the big, luscious extravagant world.

Jared Leto, who stars in WeCrashed, said he knew he would regret not meeting with Adam Neumann before embodying the former WeWork CEO for the Apple TV+ series.

Bob Chapek, the Disney CEO who is under siege, hopefully does not watch much TV. If he does, he’ll see a succession of fellow CEOs who seem prone to self-destruction — Adam Neumann of WeWork, Travis Kalanick of Uber, Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos, etc. — portrayed on buzzy TV series. Viewing these shows back to back, the stolid Chapek might wonder whether the CEO is extinct as a folk hero.

He has been earning mostly positive reviews for his portrayal of disgraced WeWork CEO Adam Neumann.But Jared Leto looked as if he was totally committed to his newest project when he hit the red carpet of a fan screening of his new supervillain origin film Morbius — which opens on April 1 — in Los Angeles on Wednesday.The 50-year-old actor and rocker looked years younger than his true age as he hit the red carpet in a lustrous white satin suit and a cape while joined by Bella Thorne and his costarsTyrese Gibson, Adria Arjona and Al Madrigal.

Jared Leto is opening up about his famous transformations. The 50-year-old actor covers the April issue of , and talks about how dramatically changing his appearance for roles impacts his own life.Leto has played everyone from The Joker to Paolo Gucci, always staying in character on set, and always adapting how he looks for the role.While Leto's aware that his dedication to the projects won't actually turn him into the people he's playing, he tells the mag, «Your job is to bring to life the spirit of the person that’s depicted in the story, to serve the story... I’m thinking about the heart of the character, the soul, the spirit.»«Those other things,» he says of the prosthetics, the makeup, the bodily transformations, «it’s the description.»In the end, he explains, the physical changes he goes through are less about looking like a particular person, and more about getting insight into how that person walks through life.«How does it change the way you walk? How does it change the way you talk? How does it change the way people treat you?» he says of changing his own appearance for the sake of a role. «I gained over 60 pounds for a role once, and it was amazing.

Jared Leto has done it again. The method actor, known for his extreme on-screen transformations, is almost unrecognizable in his performance as Adam Neumann, the charismatic founder of the WeWork communal workspace venture, in the new Apple TV series . The first three episodes of the eight-part miniseries hit Apple TV Plus on Friday, March 18.With the help of a dialect coach and an expert hair and makeup team, Leto disappears into the real-life character of Neumann, whose idea for a single co-working space eventually became WeWork, a $47 billion start-up.

The dark side of disruption. The new Apple TV+ series WeCrashed is a fictionalized take on the downfall of WeWork — and Adam Neumann, the man behind the curtain.
