Joseph Gordon-Levitt Interview | Screen Test | The New York Times

[@xxxloeyxxx]

Just as he says how guys speaking in French isn't so sexy, he speaks in French and I melt

[@juneysummers5342]

I guess JGL is that one guy out of twenty. ;)

[@trailertrish]

i literally rewound the video 🤣

[@stiankova5412]

He' s like a mix between Ledger and Franco. Hot and also acts great.

[@JoleneLin78]

when he almost wells up talking about Dumbo.... how adorable. xD

[@kathleenmiller78]

Definition of a beautiful man.

[@muza214]

i love everything about this man, his voice is so calming and his eyes are too deep to be ignored.

[@prash175]

One of the most versatile actor I’hv ever seen.So professional and simple being,he is so down to earth people unlike other hollywood celebrities which makes him different. God bless u JGL.

[@gyrtesa]

the likeness to heath ledger is border line creepy

[@LissieMatthesonLissee]

the similarities between those 2 since the movie "10 things I hate about you" are somethg - if he gets the Aussie accent, that'll be it.

[@eton13_]

thats hogwash. i don't see any shred of 'likeness" toward him and Heath... two completely different people

[@loadellababa]

Bes Eton Seriously? He looks exactly like Heath

[@mainsmain]

+Alex Endr 10 things i hate about you

[@nadda698]

Theres Sudeep and there is this football coach who looks like both of them combined

[@abbysweat9202]

I don’t know why I am watching a video from over a decade ago and I surely don’t know why I’m commenting on it but here I am. I have always loved JGL but as a veteran to hear him say he isn’t sure he will ever do anything as brave as a soldier really got me. People say that kind of thing to us all the time but for some reason he came across so perfectly sincere. Real sincerity is such a subtle thing, and as service members we tend to ride a fine line between absolute sarcasm and deepest sincerity and for whatever reason, it seems like he actually gets it and that is so beautifully rare. All I can say is thank you for your kind words and don’t worry about whether you could ever lay down your life for someone else because you are out there making art and beauty and happiness and those are the things we will lay down our lives to save.

[@MyOnlyExceptions]

his eyes sort of look like james franco's when he laughs/smiles :)

[@LongShotLilShot]

His smile is mesmerizing. What a beautiful job this man has done in his profession, and now we are grated an honest and modest soul, who may preform his duty as a truly beautiful soul in real life. I can't believe people are as great as he is in this world

[@marialane3514]

Says men who speak french are not sexy. Proceeds to prove himself wrong.

[@doneyhon4227]

+Maria Lane I'm french. Come in France, I will just speak to you and you will become crazy! lol

[@trailertrish]

my thoughts EXACTLY. 🤤

God, he looks so much like Heath Ledger...

[@rebeccawang7021]

I've never realized it until now.. He looks so much like the mixture of Heath Ledger and James Franco!!

[@CarolinaGreenEyes]

I was already hooked, but when he said he cries every time he watches Dumbo my heart just melted!

[@TheThigWife]

I love his answers about being a soldier

[@kit.h94]

He's not only extremely nice to look at but he seems really thoughtful and caring. He gave really great answers and whatever he was feeling, I felt as well since he draws you in.

[@sunflower9481]

we get along swimmingly

[@hamyawa]

how voice is so calming

[@nuggets2go]

Just watched this twice....in love with this guy. Amazing, you can tell he's really made an effort to educate himself, he's not just one of those undeserving disney kids. He knows his stuff.

[@edward3710]

im straight but when he spoke french i got turned on a little bit

[@bewareofyikes]

ahaha :D

[@assilane]

I remember him in 10 things [...], loved him back then, love him now

[@Mixerpigen]

There’s something about this guy that makes you wanna stop and listen to what he got to say. Don’t know if it’s his eyes or voice - maybe it’s both, I don’t know… But if you actually take your time to listen you can’t help loving him. He seems like this genuine guy who’s thinking about what he’s doing in life is meaningful to him. I get more and more respect for him, his work and what he tries to do. I hope and think that a lot of good things will come his way.

[@lydiafrost8769]

How can a person be so perfect?

[@merlinsvdd]

He is great. Wasn't a fan of his when he acted in 3rd rock from the sun but now i am. He knows how to pick his roles too.

[@PrincessFunni]

Hes so hot

[@gardenofeden7]

I know girl..

[@danaraify]

Oh he is so gorgeous..I love him!

[@travis_redfern6771]

He is in so many of my favorite films.

[@franceszambros4115]

I can't even take it!!!!!!! He is perfection

[@JonasCs99]

omg he looks like Heath Ledger 😍

[@abby4115]

Right!

[@Shannedo]

Yeah, it's great that he's getting so popular! I love him in every movie of his I've seen and in Inception he blew my mind! Well, we can proudly say we were his fans right from the start!

[@writedrunkeditsober]

you're 1 of those 1 out of 20 guys Joseph.

[@itslibbinatorrrr]

So talented and you can tell he's just so down to earth. He's beautiful

[@jordongrubic1348]

That Dumbo scene makes me cry too!

[@AngeljadeLynch]

Sexmendic

[@shangrila628]

I just love him so so much. 500 days of summer and 50/50 are some of my most favorite films of this decade. LOVE HIM!!!!

[@kyranwright4800]

Oh god, I love him. What a cool guy.

[@m1jime]

i love him.. i'm glad i got to know more about him, that's always interesting with actors. he's so funny and adorable haha

[@kat.5927]

Are you kidding? The guy is super smart, watch his other interviews. Clearly smarter than 80% of Hollywood who only go by their looks.

[@Kiralevit]

his smile when he says "dumbo will always make me cry" AMAZING !!!

[@ShyJayne_bodied]

Can we just get married now please. Thank you.

[@lehcar82]

That was really touching. Kind of made me emotional.

[@veragrig8645]

Im in love with his beautiful mind

[@mrjgl]

I'm in the Army and I've been deployed and I personally think getting on stage is the most terrifying thing in the world. For me getting on stage is something crazy brave and that's why I have a lot of respect for actors but its good to see them respecting soldiers.

[@ibSprintin]

Heath Ledger's Brother

[@Shannedo]

Yes, he truly is stunning and he deserves the fame he's getting! A few months back, this vid had something like 70,000 views and now it's well over 1 million! A little part of me wants him to stay relatively unknown because as he gets more famous, his fan base just becomes cliché and more like every other fan base out there, but he so deserves the attention.

[@flutterbutter9577]

He looks like my crush at school 😍😍

[@michelleallen5677]

I have been a fan of JGL ever since I saw Angels in the Outfield during a movie day in elementary school. He’s just so talented in so many areas.

[@friendlyman388]

0:26 OMG..... he just pulled of heath ledgers joker

[@natesthoughts664]

Pause @ 0:45. With the facial Hair exactly what Heath could grow which wasn’t much and the eyes and the eyebrows and the nose, the ears, he looks exactly like Heath ledger. I don’t know how anyone in here can’t see it. I too also looo similar between Heath and Joseph, I’ve been told many times

[@phoenixzito4871]

Anyone else catch the subliminal reverb at 00:58?

[@krisduhsaywha]

he is extremely talented. in looper he didnt even look like himself & he still made the role amazing. that takes talent.

[@agatamal5948]

"My favorite actors, are chameleons..."

[@danielleoh]

my name is danielle and oh lord when he said "danielle" my heart skipped a beat...

[@rhombus0ne]

"I hang out a lot with these Russian clowns..." Can we just take a moment and realize that he just said that?

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

Hipster try hard.

[@MissLalove123]

There's a guy at my work that has a surprisingly striking resemblance to him. However, he works in a different department so I hardly see him. So cute. I never get tired of of seeing Joseph Gordon Levitt in movies.

[@Mspow111]

:( i think this is my soulmate sigh

[@spac3grl]

I wouldn't mind listening him talk all day.... I love his voice.

[@Cliohna]

3:58 Heath Ledger! Big Time! o_O

[@cloverchang]

Love this...I know exactly what he's talking about with Dumbo's mom...I use to cry when Spirit the horse in the cartoon is separated from his family and imagines them running in the wind. The French thing was hilarious. And very true. Hahaa.. seems like such a chill chill dude. A very good looking chill dude ;)

[@Samxva]

he looks so much like heath its like they're brothers or something

[@b_o_n_s_]

2:15 I love how he pronounces things "he's pretty dem good in that." He does the same thing in 500 Days when they're in the IKEA store: "There's a chinese family in our bethroom" he's so wonderful :)

[@kawaiicutie22]

I want to kiss Joseph on the face.

[@persianparsal]

+irenee c as opposed to where......?

[@OurWorldAhead]

+Parsa the peepee maybe. Or the toe

[@kawaiicutie22]

OurWorldAhead tru

[@easilyamused713]

.....wow to the below conversation...... Aaaaaaanyway Joseph you are incredible, both inside and out!

[@marihampton7028]

ever since I say him in batman he forever reminds me of Heath Ledger.

[@dintcami]

I'm in a Joeseph Gordon Levitt phase and I'm 13... And I watch everything I can get of his. Never getting out of this phase. Best. Phase. Ever. ♥

[@themandilly]

can someone please tell me what he said in french, please

[@charlottedtg4433]

I guess it would be "The snails' song that are going to the funeral" in english. Does that even sound good ? Even if my english might not be correct, I guess you got the idea : A song belonging to some snails going to funerals .. Kind of absurd actually, but his accent sounds cute haha

[@JJJameson.]

Charlotte Dtg Just on time,but that's a poem from Jacques prévert

[@h2ofanNo000000000001]

can not stop watching this.... seriously.... I LOVE HIM!

[@marguzmel]

It seems, most people think he looks like Heath Ledger, to me he looks like James Franco.

[@bohnbaratheon1695]

OH MY GOD I SEE IT

[@MsRobbie96]

how can you possibly not fall for this guy..?

[@ThomasHeather]

Russian clowns?

[@prusila_]

Slava Is a russian clown and performs a theatre production called Slava's Snow Show - It's so good. JGL recommended it many years ago and I've seen it twice... really worth it if they're still touring.

[@gojosleftkneecap]

I adore the fact that Joe is so dedicated about everything he does. Whether it's acting, or hitRECord. Especially hitRECord. He's just so very talented and classy, it's amazing that he's not as famous. Joe's always so passionate about things and it inspires me to always push forward despite difficulties.

[@chingNunnem]

when ever i saw a smile on gordon face it brings a smile on my smile i don' t know why but i fell very happy...

[@bluedragonfly1290]

I absolutely LOVE his voice; it makes me melt :)

[@LeahDino32]

He is seriously the PERFECT man. GREAT acting and singing, super cute, super sensitive, speaks French...OH my goodness!

[@sorshaporsha]

Honestly he reminds me so much of Heath Ledger, it's insane! Both are beautiful and wonderful actors :)

[@Shelena55]

i could spend all the day listening to his voice ..

[@carogueva123]

aww that he cries during dumbo is the cutest thing I've heard ever XD besides the point that it's my favorite movie from when i was a kid lol

[@CdnBacon13]

He's a really good actor. Very honest, seems totally down to earth too. Plus he's super attractive and seems like a cool guy to chill with. :)

[@boekestynma]

So true!! I don't know what it is about Joseph Gordon-Levitt but I think he is just so attractive in every way possible.

[@bloucou]

Dude, that scene in Dumbo always makes me cry too!

[@bangintowall]

He melts my heart.

[@hoppylyss]

He gets super serious at 2:45 to 3:22 and you know he means every word.

[@LovelyDoveZennn]

OH MY GOD any know what he said in french?? He said it so fast, omg, i love how how he sounds when he speaks

[@TheKnowledge1992]

He's such a wonderful person, who is handsome, talented, and just admirable.

[@cedrictilley8867]

It looks like he's a fine guy, a sentimental and humane person offscreen. He seems to very likable as a person, a real person, not a celebrity persona. And his acting is good too. I hope to watch him and many other movies for the next years.

[@thefrenchrandomone]

I love how all those T Screen Test Films portraits all have like 300 000 views and this one has over 1 million. Go Joe !

[@pedobearlovesme]

He is so all around charismatic. Just,

[@DizzyJae]

Loved him since I was a kid watching 3rd Rock From the Sun and he was still BB!Joe playing Tommy. I cannot believe it's been so long!

[@LittleOxfordSt]

He is a joy and a gift.

[@ikinakles]

that goofy smile hen he drops the chair gets me EVERY time:)

[@Fadaazul212]

I find him fascinating and just plain charming.

[@lizlizhappee]

He's absolutely fascinating. I'm not surprised that so many are enamored by him. He has such a high level of intelligence, a modern-day renaissance man.

[@Kiralevit]

OMG son sourire quand il dit "dumbo will always make me cry" !!!!!!!! Je peux pas m'empêcher de rigoler à chaque fois ! Impossible ! Sooooooooo cute ^^

[@SuperAnnafaith]

yes, i thinm he is very attractive and funny and just amazing, but to me Joseph Gordon Levitt is more than that. He is very real. he isn't afraid or embarrased to talk about the little things about his life...the details. To me, this is what makes him my favorite actor and role model. He doesn't just go through the motions. He actually cares about his work and people around and there's more to him than the hollywood fame and glammar. There is a normal human being and i admire him for that.

[@kuzcoxtopia]

He's so sweet, he's my fav actor by far :)

[@rsousa07]

it actually makes sense,because joseh studied french poetry in college!ty!

[@ReGranate]

sooo symphatic..he sounds like himself...thats really good

[@elenanta96]

awwww this scene with dumbo's mom also makes me cry

[@desaintusia]

to spojrzenie, ten uśmiech... Józek jest idealny =D

[@melnjada2]

i love his smile...and his eyes...well I love him

[@Sibly73]

Omg the bit with Dumbo I always cry.
