Joseph Gordon-Levitt Answers 20 Questions for 'Playboy'

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is dashing in a red suit for Playboy‘s 20 Questions feature in the mag’s September 2012 issue, on newsstands August 17.

Here is what the 31-year-old Looper actor had to share with the mag:

On what he looks for in a woman: “Making checklists of things you’re looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you’ll be alone forever. You can’t meet someone and think, Do they have everything I want in a person? You just have to pay attention, keep your eyes open, listen to people and be present. I guess what I look for in a girl is someone who’s doing that too. Beyond that there’s not much more I would specify, because you never f**king know, man.”

On why his Dark Knight Rises co-star Christian Bale has called him an “intriguing guy”: “We had a f**king great time every day working on that movie. I felt as though I’d transferred in for senior year and had a graduation celebration. You felt a huge sense of accomplishment and closure. Everyone on that movie did such good, dignified work. No one came to phone it in or just cash a check.”

On people wanting him to get together with 500 Days of Summer co-star Zooey Deschanel: “It’s awkward when people say that. Whatever. Zooey and I just think it’s funny. It is funny. We’ve been friends for 10 years. She loves movies, music and art, and she’s incredibly knowledgeable about that stuff. She’s turned me on to so many good movies and so much good music. It’s fun just to have conversations, watch movies with her and stuff like that.”
