Joseph Gordon-Levitt admits that when he was a teenager, he really didn’t understand girls. He describes himself as “snobby” and used to think girls were evil because they’d check themselves out in mirrors all the time. He thought girls back then were just frustrating:
“I was a sort of serious little dude—snobby. I thought girls my age were very frustrating. They were, like, looking in their compact mirrors and sh*t, and I thought that was evil.”
Joseph also reveals that he isn’t fond of the idea of fame because it makes it seem like some people are more important than others, which he doesn’t believe in. He thinks fame teaches people a wrong set of values because everyone should be seen as equal:
“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 that what you have to say doesn’t matter. It’s degrading.”
‘Dark Knight Rises’ director Christopher Nolan, who worked with Joseph on the new film, describes the actor and what it was like to work with him:
“He has tremendous charisma and that incredible kind of positivity that can’t be faked.”
