Joseph Gordon-Levitt: actor, writer, director…busker?
A video posted this weekend shows the 35-year-old giving a spirited drum performance in the middle of a Los Angeles subway platform, complete with hand banging and a burst of shouting. He was dressed in a suit (old crush feelings from “10 Things I Hate About You” may have resurfaced momentarily) and aside from a few turned heads, most people walked right by the Golden Globe nominated actor.
Levitt was out to promote his production company Hitrecord’s latest project “Everyday, Spectacular,” which encourages artists to submit videos of themselves performing as part of a larger, collaborative art project.
For anyone who passed by Levitt accidentally, our deepest condolences. And to that one guy who yelled out, “Yo, you look like Pee Wee Herman a little bit”? Fair enough.
Watch the full drumming spectacle below:
I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
