Why Joseph Gordon-Levitt Keeps His Personal Life So Private

Publish date: 2024-03-20

Joseph Gordon-Levitt obviously has a complicated (albeit understandable) relationship with fame. While it's led to some amazing opportunities for the actor, he's also felt the need to take a break from his on screen career. However, after returning to acting as a more mature performer, he found that his relationship with the public had changed.

Gordon-Levitt told ABC News: "When people now come up to me and they say ... 'I saw 50/50 and that meant a lot to me because, you know, a friend of mine had ... dealt with cancer,' or 'I saw 500 Days of Summer, and it helped me deal with getting dumped,' or whatever it is, if people connect to something that I've done, that's very meaningful to me." He also admitted: "[T]hat's different than I felt when I was a child."

While the star's attitude towards his work and the way the public reacts to it (and, in turn, him) may have changed, that doesn't mean that he's abandoned his desire for privacy. In fact, the exact opposite is true and for a very good reason.
