Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt the new Jake Gyllenhaal?
« on: July 31, 2009, 10:46:22 am »
I mean, he's nowhere near as hot as Jake, but he's popping up so often these days, has he replaced Jake as the darling of the indie-film set?  ???

I didn't know we needed a new Jake Gyllenhaal. 

What's wrong with the old one?

Good question. Some time before Jarhead?

If anything, Joseph is the new Heath.  (Not that there could truly be another Heath.)

I saw the title of this thread and before I read any posts the above quote is *exactly* what I was thinking.

JGL looks very alike Heath in some images.

The weird thing is they don't look alike at all (IMO) in 10 Things I Hate About You.

I like JGL a lot, and I think acting-wise he's got the courageous/quirky/outside-the-box thing going that makes him quite similar to Heath too - I'm looking very much forward to 500 Days of Summer - whenever that one reaches my shores....

 Yes, but was Heath the indie darling that Jake was--or seemed to be?  ???

If you're worried about Joseph taking parts that would have otherwise gone to Jake, I don't really think it would work that way.  They're a few years apart in age, different physical types, at different stages in their careers, etc.

He was very cute in "10 Things I Hate About You" but then I looked at his picture over on Wikipedia, and God! :P

What did he do to himself? He's really changed. And NO I don't think he'll ever replace Jake. Huh-uh. :(
