United Kingdom’s Wonderland talks to American actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick & Stop-Loss) and annotate him the “indie prince”. Here are some excerpts:
How…Tommy Burgess, the soldier I play in Stop-Loss, couldn’t be more different from me: I was brought up to believe that fighting isn’t the answer and it’s better to use words. Everything in my upbringing went against me ever becoming a soldier. I wasn’t even allowed to play with toys to do with the military.
Do you have any vices: Well, I drank a lot when we were shooting Stop-Loss. A lot of beer, a lot of hard liquor. If we weren’t on set we’d go work out like a bunch of meatheads. Then we’d eat a lot of meat. And then we’d go drink at the nearest place we could find tequila, Coors, whatever. And just get really drunk. By the time I was done, my tolerance for alcohol was nuts! I could shoot liquor all night long and be alright, but now, not even close. I’ve never been much of a drinker, it’s not really my drug of choice.
What is your drug of choice: I guess marijuana. I’ve had a select set of really beautiful, powerful, psychedelic experiences on certain drugs but I never got into just doing it at a party: ‘Oh let’s get fucked up and drop acid’. That’s so retarded and disrespectful to your body and the drug itself. Mushrooms, acid and ecstasy can offer you a new perspective. They can also offer you nothing.
