What happened to Joseph Gordon Levitt?

Coming off "500 Hundred Days of Summer" "Inception", "50/50", "The Dark Knight Rises" he seemed like one of the hottest rising stars in Hollywood.

Now he seems irrelevant. I guess he did that Snowden movie that nobody watched.

Will his career have a come back?

He used to be mysterious and possibly gay or bi. But he used up that mystery, and now seems boringly straight.

He’s directing a musical that will star him and Channing Tatum.

I wish he’d go back to those independent noir films like Brick and Mysterious Skin. That’s when he was at his best.

Starting to date a woman almost immediately after his relationship and messy break up with notorious drug addict Michael Pitt was outed, marrying her and siring a child with her although not even a year before he claimed that he isn't interested in marriage and won't discuss his sexuality because then "they" would win doesn't count as openly bi behaviour.

As a “type” in Hollywood? Sure he is.

Both are boyish, sensitive, attractive-but-approachable 30-something actors. Both started their adult careers with noteworthy, critically acclaimed indie fare before transitioning into more mainstream work where neither has found great success as leading men.

Gyllenhaal at least seems to stretch himself more of late and has taken on more interesting roles.

He is a cute, well-known, well-paid actor and appears to get steady (at least a few projects a year) work. What more does a sexy, young-ish, shortie, pint-sized actor want anyway? He will never be a leading man type anyway (way too tiny). I would say that he has done plenty well for himself.

He's a very talented guy, and genuinely handsome. he should be getting better parts. He's yet to make the move from twentysomething parts to more adult parts, and this hurts a lot of young actors once they get to his age (37!): you can't be playing the guy who just wants to get laid or get married anymore after a certain point in your life. You have to play the guy who already is married, or who focuses on his work rather than on his love & sex life.

I am watching a JGL movie right now, and he is not compelling on screen the way a movie star should be. I’m going to say it’s because of his little eyes. It’s difficult enough to be a big star in Hollywood when you’re that short, but it has been done: Hoffman, De Niro. But they had big eyes.

As a child actor, he was about as talented as Heather Matarazzo, which was subpar at best. They’re alike in that their egos inflated as they aged, but not their talent.

They both have that arrogant-with-nothing-to-back-it-up smear all over their performances - distractingly so.

Can’t watch either of them in anything.

He doesn't have epicanthic eyelids. He has what are called "hooded" eyelids, which is not the same as having an epicanthic fold. Sorry to go off but I hate it when people do this thing of throwing a word around that they only just came across recently, and not actually doing enough research to understand what it means. If you're going to use a new term, why not at least try to understand what it actually means before using it?
