Just a curosity point. He's been in a few gay-themed films as of late. and he is kissing a guy in this last one: Mysterious Skin
http://www.ultimated...r_Id=2142859645

Check out the trailer. I want this movie on DVD...

Auditioned for the role of "Elder Aaron Davis" in Latter Days (2003) before winning the role of "Elder Paul Ryder."

This would have been the last movie "Latter Days". Aaron Davis is the very gay one. Paul Ryder is his friend... So Joe auditioned for one of the two main gay roles.

Maybe i should get the dvd my self to since it says it is about a kid in Hutchinson, Kansas which is about 30 mins away from me.

He does more than kiss in Mysterious Skin, I thought it was a very good movie.

[jamessavik]

Beautiful Skin was hot but the subject matter creeped me out.

If he is gay, then w00t!- welcome to the family Joey!!!

If he's straight: I'm actually willing to dump my boyfriend for him.

If he's bi: A threesome it is!

If he's gay: I want a tape, damnit.


Actually, I heard he's straight, but the amount of gay-related roles he has done is quite large. Then again, it became sort of popular for straight men to act gay in Hollywood. For example: Philip Seymour Hoffman, Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Tom Hanks, Leonardo De'caprio, Hugh Grant, and I can go on and on and on.

He originally applied for the main Mormon guy.

Let's face it, back in the days of tough cowboy heroes on the silver screen there was no shortage of gays playing straights.

Here's some interesting titbits I found.

This came from an interview with Anthem magazine:

"This is kind of embarrassing, but I recently put my name into a search engine and someone posted, is Joseph Gordon-Levitt gay? and the answer posted was: Is he an alien? because I played [one on 3rd Rock]. Right now I'm in Toronto playing a psychopathic murderer. And recently I played someone who was in the U.S. army in Iraq. So it's like, what's harder? Kissing a dude or killing people? I would hope that I can feel at least a bit of the horror of what it must be like, when I was playing a soldier, how hard it must be, the hell they go through. So, kissing Topher Grace is like, whatever."

Though perhaps the most intriguing would be this video he made himself, entitled "Pictures of A**holes," and posted on his website. He turned the cameras on some Paparazzi that were following him and began filming them with the video camera he had and asking them why they were taking photos of him. What makes this interesting is that he was with a male friend at the time and hence why they were taking photos.

Hope that fuels the fires.

I was gonna say, "He looks like that guy from 3rd Rock from the Sun," but I otherwise don't know of him... Never even heard of any of the movies mentioned in this thread so far lol.

Hey,

Just wanted to add a recommendation for Mysterious Skin. It's an excellent movie, but very rough on the viewer. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a kid who knew he was gay since before he was 8 when he helped an older man sexually molest another 8-year-old. The movie is mainly about the 18-year-old versions of these two kids coming to terms with these events. It's rated NC-17, probably more for the theme than for anything particularly graphic. Go see it!

He does a lot of indie films, he is a very good actor. I had a big crush on him when I was about 13 or so.

I think the Nc-17 was due to the one rape scene. I also thoight it was a very good film. I also think "Latter Days" os a must see.

[Gandalf]

I sailed into Provincetown a few years ago and there was a movie playing that looked interesting has I have had several dealings with Mormans and their sexuality. I got to see Latter Days in the theater. Wow how amazing. I couldn't wait for it to appear on dvd. Joseph even as the homophob was powerful. Both these movies are great. Mysterious skin is indeed disturbing but well worth watching. Hope to see more of Joe. Pax

Wow, six thousand views! Obviously, the sexuality of Joseph Gordon-Levitt attracts a LOT of attention. And that means... Well, what does it mean?

He also had a guest role on "That 70's Show" where he played a gay teen.

He kissed Topher Grace. It was the first prime-time, onscreen gay kiss in North America.

Are you half as good looking as your pic suggests? Sheesh!

I think Joseph Cordon-Levitt heard about this thread and kept doing that refresh thing to see if there was an update yet.

[BeaStKid]

Gay or not Gay....He's HOT!!

[ashessnow]

He's the main character of one of my favorite movies ever, and definitely one of the best movies of 2006, Brick. It's an amazing movie and he does a phenomenal job in it.
