Jared Leto has apparently found his missing Oscar.

In 2014, the quirky celebrity won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in “Dallas Buyers Club.”

But he told James Corden in a 2021 interview that he lost the coveted statue in a move three years earlier.

It even sounded like the star’s staff was trying to initially hide the fact that the award was unaccounted for!

“I don’t think anyone wanted to tell me,” Leto, 52, told the talk show host at the time. “But I had moved houses in LA and then when we moved, it somehow just magically kind of disappeared.”

The actor, who also fronts the rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, added: “It could be somewhere, but everyone’s searched for it high and low . . . I hope it’s in good hands wherever it is. We haven’t seen it for quite some time.”

When Corden asked if it might’ve been taken, Leto mused, “I think it’s a good possibility . . . it’s not something someone accidentally throws in the trash.”

But he optimistically said, “I hope someone is taking care of it. I remember the night I got it, I passed it around to so many people . . . It was beat up and scratched up, but people had fun taking pictures with it. It’s nice to share it, so hopefully someone is taking good care of it.”

Then, on Sunday, Leto posted some pics to Instagram of him holding the Oscar with the caption, “Found my Oscar.”
