Fanboy Fail Fridays! Suddenly Susan Says Joseph Gordon-Levitt Is A Pretentious Douche After He Dismisses Her One On One! Say It’s Ain’t So Joe!
So Suddenly Susan… How do you really feel?
Joseph Gordon Levitt… Personally, I have put him in the Natalie Portman category of “stars” but you know… If you don’t try, you’ll never have success right? Susan is not one to be deterred and she headed out on the mean Los Angeles streets for Joseph Gordon Levitt…
And let’s just say, the word Douche gets said a lot… And Pretentious… And then douche again!
Check out Susan’s full recap below!
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Joseph Gordon-Levitt – actor… writer … director … douche.
Yes, he’s a complete and pretentious douche. I used to like JGL, a lot. I loved him on 3rd Rock from the Sun and always found him to be a bright and articulate young actor whenever he gave an interview. I was happy he was able to make the transition to adult actor. I absolutely loved 500 Days of Summer and saw video of him signing autographs at the premiere. He seemed genuinely sweet. He asked people’s names, signed their stuff, took photos. I remember thinking, I’m so glad to see he’s one of the nice ones.
Somewhere between that movie and I’m not quite sure, he turned into a self-indulgent prick. He bowed to the waiting fans at the Inception premiere. Yes, bowed! He left two heartbroken teenaged fans in tears when he turned them down for a photo at Sundance. Seriously, it was just the two of them waiting! He ran full speed down the line of waiting fans at the TIFF premiere of Don Jon and gave them all a run by high five! His recent IMDB “takeover” and new Entertainment Weekly cover interview made me throw up in my mouth a few times. Still, I ventured out recently to attempt getting his autograph at a recent talk show appearance.
As you may have read, I have an awesome poster for Hesher, signed by none other than Natalie Miss Impossible to Get Portman.
It also has the young lead actor and director. I’d love to get JGL to finish it off. I try to maintain a positive outlook on these outings. Rather than think, he’s never going to do it, I think, stranger things have happened; or you never know; or remember when so and so did it? So, I kept a positive vibe going and hoped I was wrong about him. I wasn’t.
None sooner than 10 minutes after I arrived, an SUV carrying mister JGL in the back seat pulled into the driveway. Clear as day I can see him through the window. He’s wearing Groucho Marx type glasses. His face is buried in his phone as he’s texting. I thought, oh crap, he’s not going to see me. I hurried along the car, which stopped briefly for a pedestrian and Joseph looks right at me. His eyes skim down to the poster (which is pretty unmistakable – it’s a giant middle finger gesture) and then goes back to texting. My jaw dropped. Seriously? He has 75 minutes before his segment. I’m one person, hoping for one autograph. That’s 10 seconds out of his awesome life and I was brutally rebuffed. What really bugged me is that he ‘dismissed’ me. No fake smile, no feigned, I can’t I’m running late, either of which I would have preferred. But rather, a full-on diss. Screw you JGL! I’m putting you in the “go fuck yourself because I’ll never try for you again” file.
I’m expecting to get blasted by die hard Joe fans. Do your worst. I shant change my mind.

Susan, I feel your pain. If you recall, I wrote an entire article pinpointing his descent into the Dark Side. We don’t call him “500 Days of Douche” for nothing! Mikey, you should have linked my article to this! 😉
Ugh, so bummed that he’s like that. Sorry you had to experience that.
He’s a total Dick Bag. I saw him at Comic Con 2012 with Emily Blunt. They were both in a hurry and I asked her for the graph instead of him. I figured I had way better odds with her. Emily was sweet and signed for me.
I also don’t pay for movies for stars who won’t sign for me. I’m kind of interested in Don John but I’m not going to spend my money to see it.
If he was signing autographs for $5 across the street from my house I wouldn’t spend my money on him.
my son’s favorite movie growing up was Angels in the Outfield and would love to get him on a photo…but it seems it will take a miracle. A Festivus miracle. It’s too bad if he saw your poster and looking to complete he would think its neat to finish it off for you. Sorry, but he has that Molly complex and maybe it has to be one of those 10% chances that he will have that epiphany and just sign.
You just stood there, he looked at you and then went on his way and this is the freakout that results? Please.
Every time I see him, my skin crawls. He looks smug, and has looked smug since his 500 Days movie premiered. I really can’t stand him, and don’t even enjoy his movies anymore. I feel like his smugness is starting to affect his acting ability, and can’t get past it. Super disappointing, because he seemed nice enough before. Sorry to hear he was a bonehead, Susan.
Suze-
He’s a D-bag. I’d bend him over and make him scream though. Prick.
Baby don’t be sad. Who needs em’!
Susan, I saw him at TIFF a couple of years ago for the 50/50 premiere, and after about 10 minutes of fans screaming for him, what did he do? He turned around to face the fans and bowed at us. Biggest douchebag move ever from the second biggest douche ever (next to Oscar nominated actor Jonah Hill).
I don’t want to make it seem like I’m excusing his otherwise appalling behavior, but he did sign at the Sundance Film Festival back in January around nighttime. (I know Pinky got dissed by him, but wasn’t that during the day?)

I think with some hard-to-get-celebs, you just have to cross your fingers and hope they’re on their good days. Because even the infamous Natalie Portman does sign on occasion.
MPC – the odd thing is that on the few occasions he signs, he seems really nice. But when he’s being a dick, he’s a real dick.
Justbecks nailed it – he’s so SMUG.
Thanks for all the comments 🙂
He is like that 99.9% of the time. I waited for him outside the Colbert Show in NYC and he snuck out a never used side door and ran into traffic to avoid a small crowd many of whom were early 20s girls. Everyone signs on occasion so the videos of him signing mean nothing. he signed at Letterman in NYC last month also. Out of course of a year if he signs at only 2 or 3 appearances its pathetic.
You’ve got the right to your opinion. There is something off about Levitt (with his fine ass self) that I can’t put my finger on. He seems sheltered. Some people aren’t very polished. Doesn’t mean they’re bad people or mean anyone any harm. He just seems like a very smart person, who grew up around certain types of people, in a certain type of environment.
He owes you nothing, especially when you didn’t say something to him. Did you just stalk alongside his car and stare at him through the window while holding your poster? Because I’d also snub you, were I him. Seems like you were invading his privacy.
Levitt’s not a douche. He just sets firm personal boundaries and doesn’t hesitate to uphold them. On the other hand, sometimes the star should just stick to acting. His show Press Record, while unique in concept, is self centered. Every skit looks the same. Or comes off like things Joseph finds interesting. No disrespect to his brother’s wonderful concept. Again, the idea is excellent, but the execution not so stellar. The show lack cohesion and is sometimes dull. Everything is animated or looks like something a college student would do. I don’t believe all projects and credit can be shared. Too many people in the kitchen can make the soup go bad. Oh and why must he sing? He can’t sing.
“Seems like you were invading his privacy”
Let me quote Balki B. : “cut the babastiki” , stop talking bs….you weren’t there so you shouldn’t judge.
