In an interview in the March/April issue of Anthem magazine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is asked how he reacts to those who believe that the preponderance of gay roles (Sweet Jane, That 70’s Show, Mysterious Skin) in his resume might cast some light on the actor’s own sexuality:
“This is kind of embarrassing, but I recently put my name into a search engine and someone posted, is Joseph Gordon-Levitt gay? and the answer posted was: Is he an alien? because I played [one on 3rd Rock]. Right now I’m in Toronto playing a psychopathic murderer. And recently I played someone who was in the U.S. army in Iraq. So it’s like, what’s harder? Kissing a dude or killing people? I would hope that I can feel at least a bit of the horror of what it must be like, when I was playing a soldier, how hard it must be, the hell they go through. So, kissing Topher Grace is like, whatever.”
