Joseph Gordon-Levitt Covers Blackbook Magazine

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one of those guys that are understated by far. He’s in the new movie 50/50 and is the Fall 2011 cover boy for BlackBook magazine. I have to say that I love the photo shoot he’s in. I think he’s come a long way from the 30 Rock from the Sun days for sure.

Here are the highlights from the interview:

On his take on the appeal of different types of women: "There's a difference between a girl who's sexy, like, 'I'm a slave,' and an assuredly sexy girl like Beyoncé. But I have to admit, man, I fall for the slave thing, too."

On life as a Hollywood star: "When I go to the grocery store, I'll look at the covers of tabloid magazines – they fascinate me – but I don't bring that sh– into my house because I think it's evil and poisonous. It's easy to dismiss it as harmless entertainment, but I don't think it is. We're very influenced by the stories we choose to fill our days with."

On what it’s like to see himself on the big screen: "When I was younger, I couldn't watch anything I was in. Then I started making and editing my own little videos for fun, and that's when I started watching myself, although seeing myself act in a Hollywood-scale production is different from watching something I shot on my video camera."

He sounds like he would be a blast to interview!
