If you’ve been watching movies for decades, then you probably remember watching actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt grow up throughout the years.
From playing Roger in Angels in the Outfield when he was 13-years-old, to starring alongside Leonardo DiCaprio in the award-winning film, Inception.
Joseph is 43-years-old now, but thanks to his kids, he still feels like 13-year-old Roger. During a recent appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, Joseph revealed he and his wife quietly welcomed their third child just two years ago.
One of the things I love about being a dad is that you feel like you’ve gone back in a time machine in a way. You feel like you’re getting to live your life again, but from a different angle. Because they’re experiencing so many of the things that I remember experiencing — whether it’s learning to walk or going to school. Or learning a skill and it’s hard at first, but you have to keep working on it and then finally you get it.
That’s such an interesting way to look at it! We see what’s he talking about though. In a way, you do get to “grow up” again, it’s just from a different perspective.
In addition to their 2-year-old daughter, Joseph and his wife, Tasha, also have a 9-year-old son and a 7-year-old son.
I’m a dad. You know, one of the best parts I think about playing with kids is their lack of inhibition, willingness to just, like, pretend that something else is happening. Pretend that reality is, is completely something else. My daughter’s almost 2. She’ll just be perfectly happy to pretend to make eggs. And there are no eggs. She doesn’t care.
