Daily Hotness With Joseph Gordon Levitt

Um, we’ve talked about this, right? Like, when did this happen exactly? Nothing makes me feel old quite like seeing someone who was a boy on television when I watched him all growed up and looking like JGL looks now. Because JGL looks good now. He’s on the cover of the August issue of GQ Magazine looking ridiculously hot and even hotter on the pics inside. You can check them out online here. In the interview he describes himself growing up as “a sort of serious little dude—snobby,” but I think it was Jon Lithgow’s description of him that I love the most;

“he was a very mature boy—I remember him carrying on about the ecological damage that is done when people build new golf courses. What teenager worries about that? And now he’s a very youthful adult. He’s done a flip-flop.”

Except that he totally looks all grown up now. Here’s a few excepts from the interview;

Joseph Gordon-Levitt on not going to his high school prom:
“I thought the girls my age were very frustrating. They were, like, looking in their compact mirrors and shit, and I thought that was evil.”

…on how Hollywood is crumbling:

“The entertainment business as it has been is not going to be around that much longer. The way it’s going is, there’s going to be artists, and they’ll make their shit, and they’ll connect to their audience, and you don’t need any of the middlemen—the studios or the agents.”

…on how he hates Americans’ fawning over celebrity:
“I really don’t like this notion that some people are more important than other people. These stories about these elevated people called ‘celebrities’ teaches you”—and by “you” he meant regular, nonfamous folks—”that what you have to say doesn’t matter. It’s degrading.”

“The Dark Knight Rises” director Christopher Nolan on Gordon-Levitt:
“He has a tremendous charisma and that incredible kind of positivity that can’t be faked.” Which makes him perfect, of course, for Commissioner Gordon’s protégé. “We really needed somebody with a sense of idealism to contrast with Gordon’s weariness. I thought of Joe first and foremost.”

I’ve attached pictures below of JGL at The Dark Knight Rises premiere last night, again he looks good. I’m very excited – I get to see Dark Knight on Wednesday and I’m anxious to see how JGL does. Rumour has it he plays Robin in the flick so I can’t wait. You can pick up the August issue of GQ when it hits newsstands July 24th.
