An actor from childhood, Joseph Gordon-Levitt (JGL) has been (aptly) described as "the Internet's new boyfriend" in 2010.[1] After having primarily acted in independent films[2], his role as Arthur in Inception introduced him to a wider audience. A combination of factors took countless fangirl and -boy hearts by storm[3], most often quoted are:
- his undeniable talent as an actor
- being generally gorgeous combined with the ability to look snazzy in suits[4]
- DIMPLES.
- having a genuinely lovely public persona, e.g. giving intelligent and charming interviews[5]
- being outspoken about the creative potential of the internet[6] and running hitRECord.org, an online collaborative platform (later production company)
- singing and dancing![7]
