Joseph Gordon-Levitt is having a busy week in Park City, UT.
The actor premiered Don Jon’s Addiction on Friday at the Sundance Film Festival in which he plays the title role, a man who prefers pornography to real sex, even though he brings home a different woman every weekend. He also wrote and directed the film.
“I wanted to tell a love story, and in my observations, what gets in the way of love often times is the way the people objectify each other,” Gordon-Levitt said of the movie. “The story centers on a relationship between a boy and a girl, and the boy watches too much pornography, and the girl watches too many romantic Hollywood movies, and they’re both sort of objectifying each other.”
Gordon-Levitt will also be at the center of the culmination of the Festival when he emcees the closing-night awards ceremony this weekend. You can check out all of the details surrounding the ceremony below:
