Joseph Gordon-Levitt: Action Star. On a Bike

Just Jared has your first look at Joseph Gordon Levitt in David Koepp’s Premium Rush. Koepp’s directorial output hasn’t exactly been impressive (Secret Window was bland, but Stir of Echoes was decent), but he has been responsible for screenwriting some huge films, both good (Spider-man, Jurassic Park, Carlito’s Way) and bad (Indy IV [which we can blame on Lucas], Angels & Demons).

Premium Rush is about a bike messenger (JGL) in NYC who picks up a package and attracts the attention of a dirty cop. Really fast bike riding ensues. Probably some wheelies! Here’s a look at JGL’s wardrobe:

Really JGL? A bike chain for a belt? Everyone wears an extension cord now. You're going to regret it when your bicycle runs out of power.

Aren't the first and last photos the same?
I take that back.
I have no problem with that.

Anyone else disappointed he's not in tight spandexy things?

I'm starting to worry about my obsession for this man.

[insert generic comment about wanting to lick his face]

So, he sees him rollin and he's hatin?

Posted by: Jay at July 21, 2010 9:50 AM

I like him better suited.

I recently mentioned my feverish desire for JGL on my personal blog. A buddy of mine actually had the gall to comment: "Seriously? The kid from 30 Rock? For reals?"

Yep, for reals, mofo. Look at that smile. You know how women say that they want a sensitive man, but what they really mean is that they want a guy who will actually pretend to listen for a few minutes out of the day because truly sensitive men kind of alarm us? Yeah, well Joseph comes across as that perfect sensitive man. I want him to brush the hair out of my eyes while reading poetry...or doing other things. I won't get into it, but I imagine it would be Earth shattering.

Hmm does the dirty cop run up to JGL and push him off the bike for no reason?

Nah, that wouldn't make much of a movie since the cop would get off scot free.

Blah...tiny piggy eyes.

Posted by: AM at July 21, 2010 9:58 AM

Can he please just come live in my bed now?

Posted by: Anna von Beaverdouche at July 21, 2010 9:59 AM

Rampage Jackson is going to flip shit when he finds out JGL stole his belt.

Posted by: Dangerous Dave at July 21, 2010 10:00 AM

Yep, we're about due for a random bicycle movie. I hope he called The Bacon for advice, cuz that guy sold the shit out of some ten-speed bikerage.

Posted by: Kballs at July 21, 2010 10:03 AM

He's missing electrical tape on the handle bars.

Kaleena, if one more random co-worker refers to him as the kid from "30 Rock from the Sun" I will kick them in the French Stewarts.

Now THAT was a bike messenger movie.

Posted by: Jay at July 21, 2010 10:07 AM

Come on people ignore the chain...there is no way in hell that thing is real. Looks like plastic to me. Seriously.

Posted by: DeistBrawler at July 21, 2010 10:08 AM

I like him better birthday-suited.

Posted by: jM at July 21, 2010 10:16 AM

If only the bike messengers that try to kill me on my commute every day looked like that. The chain though? Accurate.

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at July 21, 2010 10:17 AM

Yes please, I'll take one.

Posted by: griffimx at July 21, 2010 10:25 AM

While I prefer the suited up look (because, hello, SUIT) the whole approachable guy next door look is working for me too.
I think I need to do some extended research to figure out which look is better.

Posted by: (Not so)Blonde Savant at July 21, 2010 10:32 AM

Hah! Brakes. The hipsters will have a field day.

Posted by: sars at July 21, 2010 10:38 AM

He looks great. And I do love me the Sambas. But he looks delicious in a suit.

This, and this, and this.

You’re welcome.

Posted by: Scully at July 21, 2010 10:41 AM

OHMYGODHE'SSOCUTE!!!
*ahem*
Sorry, I just needed to get that out of my system. Seriously, though, he could ride me around New York any day.

Posted by: esme at July 21, 2010 10:47 AM

I really want him to marry my best friend. That may sound weird, but it's true. They'd be adorable together.

Posted by: KatSings at July 21, 2010 10:55 AM

He's got the best smile.

Posted by: lorent at July 21, 2010 11:05 AM

maybe the chain is used to lock his bike...holy what a concept!!!!!!

Posted by: blades at July 21, 2010 11:09 AM

Thanks you for those, Scully, thank you. Some suited JGL is all I need to make this a good day. Or really, any JGL at all. I'll return the favor:

http://www.rollingstone.com/movies/videos/28426/181890 Enjoy. He sings! (A bit. And seems nervous, which only enhances the adorable factor.)

This movie is actually shooting a couple of blocks up from my apartment, so I'm tempted to sneak off work and try to catch a peak of him in the flesh. Uh oh...JGL...flesh...

...I'll be in my bunk.

Posted by: Adrienne at July 21, 2010 11:32 AM

*peek

Oy.

Posted by: Adrienne at July 21, 2010 11:36 AM

*sigh* I love him so much!!

I love you when you wear a suit
But what you wear is really moot
When wearing shorts while on a bike
All I can utter is: "ME LIKE!!"

Whate'er you wear, you wear so well
You know I love you, JGL!

Posted by: Jelinas at July 21, 2010 11:37 AM

Okay. Okay. I need to revise my top 5 list. That second photo did something to me. I didn't laminate my list, so I am going to change it. The Husband thinks that I obsess over my Five Freebies too much. I say it's just sexy good planning.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at July 21, 2010 11:38 AM

maybe the chain is used to lock his bike...holy what a concept!!!!!!

Impossible. There is no way that length of chain will pass through both tires and still be able to be attached to a bike rack or other stationary object. Any cyclist must know that you run the risk of losing one, or both, tires to theft because of quick release technology. Ergo, JGL is trying to begin a fashion trend and I feel it is a catastrophic failure.

Posted by: admin at July 21, 2010 11:48 AM

The chain is for when he enters my bed (and is not allowed to leave). How thoughtful!

Posted by: MyySharona at July 21, 2010 12:06 PM

I started beaming at my computer at work.

Posted by: denesteak at July 21, 2010 12:25 PM

My brain is on JGL overload with this post (in the best way, of course). I want to say something eloquent but all these pictures and the links of him in suits reduce me to my 12 year old self just wanting to yell "he's SOOOOOOOO cute!"

Adrienne, that video made my day. "Nothing naked... well not yet". You just say the word Joe, just say the word!!

Posted by: Even Stevens at July 21, 2010 1:36 PM

I'm on a bike.

Posted by: E-Money at July 21, 2010 1:45 PM

Scully, each picture I opened caused me to react quite verbally (and physically). Even though I'd already seen them. Sigh...

Posted by: DontStopNow at July 21, 2010 2:17 PM

Is it wrong that my favorite movie of his is Mysterious Skin solely because we get to see you know... stuff?

just putting it out there.

Posted by: Yankee Sodomite at July 21, 2010 2:43 PM

He's just..so cute..I can't...

So much for getting any work done the rest of the day.

Posted by: lindsaco at July 21, 2010 3:31 PM

There's no quick-release levers on his bike. Front, back or seat.
So CHAIN for the win.

Posted by: grendel at July 21, 2010 4:14 PM

Why are there a rear brake lever? Typically, those bikes use a foot brake for the rear and only front brake levers... if there are front brakes at all. And yes, the chain is for locking the bike, and there are no quick releases for either wheel. Fairly common for the urban bike messenger crowd (the chain, I mean). And why he's using deep rim tires is beyond me.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
JGL = happy!

Posted by: gee. ay. at July 21, 2010 5:24 PM

Ahhhhhhhhhh. Thanks Dustin.

Adrienne, the vid you posted is so amazingly high quality it's like sitting in the room with JGL. Which is obviously something we would all love! Le sigh!

Posted by: AgoGo at July 21, 2010 5:26 PM

This is where I change the word "bicycle" to "JGL" in that Queen song:

I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like

Posted by: dia at July 21, 2010 10:42 PM

Feh. He still looks 15 years old. I get that some people might be into that but...ick. He looks like he's never even touched a girl's boob before.

Posted by: figgy at July 22, 2010 1:08 AM

"Kaleena, if one more random co-worker refers to him as the kid from "30 Rock from the Sun" I will kick them in the French Stewarts."

Exactly. He's the kid from 10 Things. Let's try and keep it together people.
