When I was around five, I stumbled upon this television show that I didn’t quite understand…and still to this day get confused over. This show was of course 3rd Rock From the Sun, and from upon watching this show my love for Joseph Gordon Levitt developed. A loyal fan of his for fourteen years, crazy huh?
Although, he is several years older than me…it’s like I’ve watched him grow up. I mean, I practically have.
But what really sparked my love for him, was his role in 500 Days of Summer. I can totally relate to his role as Tom. I used to be a Summer in my middle school years, but as I matured and growed up, I have blossomed into a Tom (as strange as that sounds).
I’ve always been told that I have a different way of thinking, in fact I’ve been told this from a very young age. So what I find relatable about Tom is that he has a different way of thinking. For instance, when he said ”I guess I just figured, why make something disposable like a building when you can make something that last forever, like a greeting card.” To others, greeting cards were not that big of a deal, but he found a deeper meaning in what he did. Which I find admirable.
Joseph Gordon Levitt also doesn’t choose just any roles, he chooses the most interesting and complex. This to me says a lot about him as a person. I mean his personality as a whole is simply amazing. He’s rugged, funny, and clever. I mean his cover to Bad Romance was just amazing. His personality shined through, and he made it into his own. For those who haven’t caught on to his slight improv, he replaces ‘je veux ton revenge’ with “J’veux ton amour, ouais je veux te baiser. J’veux ton amour, non je m’en fous après” which translates to I want your love, yeah I want to fuck you. I want your love, no I don’t care after”.
Might I add, that he’s incredibly handsome. And no girls I don’t mean hot, not the cliche good looking man. I mean he is truly handsome. His face, personality, and all.
