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:

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
