Joseph Gordon-Levitt Covers 'GQ' August 2012

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is dapper as can be on the cover of GQ magazine’s August 2012 issue.

Here’s what the 31-year-old actor had to share with the mag, which hits newsstands on July 24:

On his teenage self: “I was a sort of serious little dude�”snobby. I thought girls my age were very frustrating. They were, like, looking in their compact mirrors and sh*t, and I thought that was evil.”

The Dark Knight Rises director Christopher Nolan, on Joseph’s character: “He has tremendous charisma and that incredible kind of positivity that can’t be faked.”

On the notion of being famous: “I really don’t like this notion that some people are more important than other people. These stories about these elevated people called ‘celebrities’ teaches you that what you have to say doesn’t matter. It’s degrading.”
