Man Candy Monday: Joseph Gordon-Levitt


This week's Man Candy Monday pick is Joseph Gordon-Levitt! Let's face it, he's been cute since Angels in the Outfield and 3rd Rock From the Sun and he's continued to get more attractive with age. I think 500 Days of Summer is when people started taking note, although I think that he wasn't noticed as much as he should have been in 10 Things I Hate About You. Either way, I think we can all (most of us?) agree that he's worthy of Man Candy Status.










Name
Joseph Leonard Gordon-Levitt

Date of Birth
February 17, 1981

From
Los Angeles, CA

Notable Roles
Beethoven
Angels in the Outfield
Halloween H20: 20 Years Later

Interesting Facts

-His grandfather, Michael Gordon, was a director who was blacklisted during the Red Scare.
-Created hitRECord, an online collaborative production company where people are encouraged to create and upload works of art (such as music, illustrations, film, etc.). He's taken some the films created on this site to Sundance Film Festival and South by Southwest.

    Great choice! That first pic in the sweater is too cute. I loved him in 3rd Rock, but I think his first great solo role was in Brick, it was such a great modern take on the classic noir mystery.

    I have liked him for years as an actor. But I did not really notice how cute he is until Inception.

    OMG! Megan is so right! I was thinking he looked familiar and couldn't place him . . . but it's totally that he looks like JP from the Bachelorette (who is also a fox).

    This is a great selection and very worthy of MCM status! I've liked JGL since 10 Things I Hate About You and liked him even more when I finally saw (500) Days of Summer. He's in some independent movie that was released this summer called Hesher. I really want to find a theater that's playing it or at least get it on DVD when it comes out.

    Because of you, I stayed home after my trip to Vegas and watched Stop-Loss, G.I. Joe and 500 Days of Summer to get my JGL fix. Great choice.

    It's so hard to believe that he is Tommy from 3rd Rock from the Sun with that gross long hair. But he was a cutie in 10 Things I Hate About You.
