Remember the days before Inception and 500 Days of Summer — back when Joseph Gordon-Levitt was a cute, floppy-haired kid on 3rd Rock From the Sun? Turns out his famously long locks weren’t just an innocent fashion choice. “I grew my hair long so I could headbang,” says Gordon-Levitt. “It ended up being the hairstyle of my character [on the show], but I grew it long so I could headbang to bands like Metallica.”
The metal supergroup was also an inspiration for Gordon-Levitt’s latest role in Hesher, an indie drama about a bullied youngster (Devin Brochu) who gets unexpected mentoring from a rock-loving guru (Gordon-Levitt) and a grocery store clerk (Natalie Portman). “[Former Metallica Bassist] Cliff Burton was a big, big inspiration for my character,” says Gordon-Levitt. “The skull that Hesher has on his shoulder? Chris has the same one.” Unfortunately, the actor didn’t have time to get his real hair to guitar-god length for the movie.”It’s a wig. I can’t lie,” he admits. “I shot Hesher right before I shot Inception. All that hair would’ve taken years to grow.”
It figures there’d be a Metallica influence, the typeface for “Hesher” is in Metallica’s logo style.
Love the trailer with the Metallica soundtrack!
he’s always been yummy
METALLICA rules the world! I’m just sayin…
yes they do..
i’d do him
Is it wrong that I want to see this movie because he looks irresistible in it?
Awesome trailer! Love the “Battery” opening music from Metallica (my fav band of all-time). I’ll see it just for Joseph. He looks like an old friend of mine from high school who passed a while back. Should be rad!!
btw, love his reference to the late GREAT Cliff Burton! He is a true fan, and Metallica was never the same after Cliff’s death.
Metallica is not a SuperGroup. A supeergroup is a term for a band that is made up of members from other bands.
Some examples of Supergroups:
C,S,N&Y
Traveling Wilburys
Audioslave
Velvet Revolver
Temple of the Dog
A Perfect Circle
Metallica doesn’t fit the bill.
Yup
Does anyone know if Metallica sued for using their logo and music? Hell, hey sue everybody else for just listening to their music on their friends computer!
