The 39-year-old entertainer explained that his children took top priority over any acting roles.

“I took a couple years off when I had kids,” he shared with Yahoo Entertainment.

Joseph and his wife, Tasha McCauley, have two sons who were born in 2015, and 2017.

Speaking on his new movie, 7500, Joseph added that with his “first job back, I really wanted to focus on finding a creative challenge, and not think about, ‘Oh, what should my next career move be having taken some time off?’ I really just wanted to focus on the art of it and why I love acting so much.”

Here’s the synopsis: “It looks like a routine day at work for Tobias (Gordon-Levitt), a soft-spoken young American co-pilot on a flight from Berlin to Paris as he runs through the preflight checklist with Michael, the pilot, and chats with Gökce, his flight-attendant girlfriend. But shortly after takeoff, terrorists armed with makeshift knives suddenly storm the cockpit, seriously wounding Michael and slashing Tobias’ arm. Temporarily managing to fend off the attackers, a terrified Tobias contacts ground control to plan an emergency landing. But when the hijackers kill a passenger and threaten to murder more innocent people if he doesn’t let them back into the cockpit, this ordinary man faces an excruciating test.”

7500 will be released on Amazon Prime Video on June 19.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt has shared a deeply motivational message to the Class of 2020 on his social media.

Graduating classes across the country are facing not having ceremonies because of the pandemic, which forced many school years to end early.

“You’ve been handed a challenge you didn’t ask for. And now it’s on you to rise to the occasion. Everyone alive today will remember the world before and after this pandemic, and you’re the ones graduation right when it began. For better or worse, you’re the start of a new generation,” Joseph started out.

He added later, “I know it sucks you didn’t get to wear a cap and gown and walk the stage and share the moment with your friends and families in person. I know it sucks, because I actually didn’t get to either…but here’s the hard, shitty truth… you have bigger things to worry about.”

Joseph is working on a followup project for the Class of 2020 as well. Read more about it here.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is opening up about the summer he spent filming 10 Things I Hate About You in a brand new interview.

Speaking with Access Hollywood during a video chat during quarantine, the -year-old actor chatted about the “great and wonderful time” he had filming the flick, which also starred Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Larisa Oleynik, Gabrielle Union, Andrew Keegan and David Krumholtz.

“I think a big part of why that movie still resonates with people today is that all of us who were in it genuinely liked each other. We were really hanging out every day and having a good time. That doesn’t always happen,” he shared.

Joseph added that he’s still really close with a lot of the actors and crew members who worked on the film.

“[David] Krumholtz, I was just texting with him,” he slipped in as he recalled the experiences.

You can stream 10 Things I Hate About You on Disney+, or rent and buy from iTunes and Amazon.
