00:00
Hi, I’m Denzel Washington.
00:02
And I am Orson Welles.
00:11
And my name is Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
00:16
And we are doing today [crosstalk].
00:22
It’s even harder to do this on Zoom.
00:27
Come on and zoom, zoom, zoom my zoom.
00:31
Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt a pilot?
00:37
I just played a pilot in a movie called 7500,
00:40
and I’m glad that Google is auto completing this.
00:43
That means a lot of people are watching the movie.
00:47
I studied to look like a pilot.
00:48
I think I was fairly convincing in the movie.
00:51
Pilots go through a lot of training,
00:53
much more training than what actors do,
00:56
and it’s a good thing,
00:58
because flying a plane is not easy.
01:00
I know enough to know how hard it is.
01:03
If you were my pilot, I would feel very safe.
01:07
Likewise, sir, likewise.
01:09
So this is the next question.
01:11
Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt nice?
01:17
if you’re nice to me.
01:19
I’m nice if you’re nice to me.
01:23
You don’t just get niceness,
01:26
like you get when you get hand sanitizer,
01:28
just stick your hand under.
01:29
You gotta actually pump.
01:32
You have to pump for niceness.
01:34
If I was just gonna just freely distribute niceness
01:37
without knowing that someone was gonna be nice in return,
01:40
I would be all out of niceness.
01:41
I would be an empty bottle of hand sanitizer.
01:44
I don’t want to be empty.
01:46
I need to stay full.
01:49
Is Joseph Gordon-Levitt left-handed?
01:54
My dad was and my grandpa.
01:56
Why is this in the auto complete?
01:59
This is not a common auto complete, I don’t think.
02:01
Why would anybody ask this?
02:03
Is this some kind of jerk off reference,
02:06
’cause I was in Don Jon?
02:07
Is that what it is?
02:12
now that I think of it, yes.
02:15
I was gonna ask that when I met you.
02:17
It just slipped my mind.
02:20
When you get a private moment…
02:23
What is Jamie Foxx birthday?
02:26
Listen, my birthday is for everybody to share in.
02:29
I want everyone to share in the birthday.
02:34
born in the struggle.
02:35
I am a Sagittarius, Gemini rising.
02:38
I like long walks on the beach.
02:41
What does rising mean?
02:42
I never really understood this.
02:44
I think when you’re smoking weed.
02:48
All that other stuff they put on there
02:50
just trying to make you feel like you don’t know your sign.
02:52
Some girl was like I’m a Sagittarius.
02:53
Yes, but do you know your rising?
02:57
Do you want me to know my rising?
02:58
You want to tell me.
03:00
I’m African American rising.
03:03
[Joseph] Where does Jamie Foxx live?
03:06
I live in the heart and the minds of souls of the people.
03:09
I am the spirit of living inside of you
03:13
that every day that you wake up,
03:16
That’s where I live.
03:17
Every time you take that breath,
03:21
you think of Jamie Foxx.
03:23
This is why Google can never tell you the truth.
03:26
You can Google that question all day long,
03:29
and it would never tell you that.
03:30
But you just heard the truth.
03:31
What you just heard is far truer
03:34
than anything Google would ever tell you.
03:36
I’m saying I am in you.
03:39
♪ I got the Jamie in me ♪
03:40
♪ I got the Jamie in me ♪
03:42
♪ I got the Jamie in me ♪
03:45
I can’t get to that note.
03:47
[Joseph] Where did Jamie Foxx grow up?
03:49
I grew up 28 miles east of Dallas
03:52
in a little town called Terrell, Texas,
03:54
gateway to the east,
03:57
12,247 now because I am here.
04:01
Shout out to Terrell, man.
04:02
Did Joseph Gordon-Levitt go to college?
04:05
I did, and then I dropped out.
04:08
I dropped out of college because I got my first copy
04:13
this is back in 2003.
04:16
Nowadays, you can edit a video on your phone.
04:19
There’s free video editing software anywhere you look.
04:22
But back then in 2003,
04:23
it was a momentous occasion
04:26
that I could edit video at home on my computer.
04:31
I’d been making little videos
04:32
with my parent’s camcorder and stuff
04:34
ever since I was a little kid,
04:35
and I always dreamed of being able to edit
04:38
the videos I would make.
04:39
Then, I got to be an actor,
04:41
and I would act on sets.
04:43
Then I would see the things that I acted in,
04:45
and say like oh, that’s the take they chose.
04:47
Oh, they took out my pause.
04:49
Oh, they cut it there.
04:50
I want to be able to edit,
04:51
and I could never edit.
04:53
And finally, in 2003 I got my first copy of Final Cut Pro,
04:58
stayed up all night teaching myself,
05:00
stayed up all night the next night and the next night.
05:02
At that point said to myself,
05:05
I could be writing these papers for college,
05:08
or I could be doing this.
05:12
It was right around then I dropped out of college.
05:14
All I can say is that we’re happy
05:16
that you dropped out of college.
05:18
Because you’ve been giving us gems ever since.
05:23
Did Joseph Gordon-Levitt break a world record?
05:27
Is there something I don’t know about?
05:28
I wonder what they’re asking about.
05:30
Who is asking this question?
05:34
It’s just so vague.
05:36
World record for what?
05:37
The world record for just being
05:40
the baddest mother[bleep] on the planet.
05:43
I’m just gonna sample that.
05:44
I’m gonna take that audio and sample it
05:45
and make it my ringtone,
05:47
make it my voicemail.
05:49
Just play that as often as possible.
05:51
[Jamie] Did Joseph Gordon-Levitt learn to wire walk?
05:55
I could walk on a wire back then.
05:57
It’s been a few years since I practiced,
05:59
When I was shooting The Walk, I could really walk on a wire.
06:01
I did not walk on a wire that was 110 stories in the air.
06:06
I walked on a wire that was about 12 feet in the air,
06:09
which doesn’t sound as impressive on paper.
06:11
But I challenge you to get up 12 feet
06:13
in the air and get out on a wire
06:16
Your heart gets going.
06:18
For those of you hearing the 12 feet,
06:19
just to give you a reference.
06:21
When you’re driving underneath a bridge
06:24
that says 12 to 14 feet,
06:29
I did learn to do it.
06:30
Phillipe Petit, the guy who walked on The Wire
06:32
between the World Trade Center for real,
06:33
the guy who really did it,
06:35
He insisted to be the one to teach me.
06:37
We spent eight days straight together.
06:39
He was like, [imitates accent]
06:40
by the end of these eight days,
06:41
you will walk on the wire,
06:44
How did he say it, I need that again.
06:48
[imitates accent] What do you need, Jamie?
06:49
I will give you anything, anything you want.
06:52
[Joseph] Who doesn’t know this?
06:53
Is Jamie Foxx an Oscar winner?
06:55
Oscar winner 2005, Ray Charles,
06:57
a blessed person to do a blessed movie about him,
07:01
and pretty good company that year.
07:03
My man, Leonardo DiCaprio,
07:08
People that I look up to and admire.
07:13
My daughter sat with me during the Oscars.
07:15
She was 11, 10 or 11 at the time.
07:18
Got to the category, she says dad, even if you don’t win,
07:22
you’re a great actor,
07:23
and that was all I needed.
07:27
That’s the sweetest.
07:29
Is Jamie Foxx Canadian?
07:32
but I love Canadian bacon.
07:36
I love Canadian Mist.
07:39
I don’t know, what’s that?
07:41
I don’t know, I thought I had a Canadian Mist.
07:43
[Joseph] Is Jamie Foxx vegan?
07:46
Actually, I’m Baptist,
07:47
and I’ve been Baptist my whole life.
07:50
To me, Jesus is the foundation,
07:53
nothing against other vegans.
07:54
I don’t know where they go
07:56
as far as heaven and hell is concerned.
07:57
But I know where I’m going as far as heaven is concerned,
08:00
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus numbers,
08:02
Joshua [speaks fast].
08:16
Nothing against vegans,
08:18
but we going to heaven over here.
08:20
What is Joseph Gordon-Levitt ethnicity?
08:22
100 percent Ashkenazi Jew.
08:24
Oh man, I thought you were going to say African American.
08:29
What is Joseph Gordon-Levitt up to?
08:31
I was gone for a long time.
08:32
I took a couple years off acting, ’cause I’m a dad now.
08:35
Spent some time with my kids.
08:37
But I’m back, three movies this year.
08:39
Fantastic man, and we love that.
08:40
There was a point where I was sitting at you in the scene,
08:43
and I kept staring at you,
08:45
and you said, man, I’m having a good time.
08:48
I really appreciate it.
08:50
You are an important artistic soul, my friend.
08:54
what languages does Joseph Gordon-Levitt speak?
08:57
Pretty much English.
09:13
Is Jamie Foxx left-handed?
09:15
I’m actually amphibious in both hands.
09:19
As you can see, I have pretty big hands.
09:21
So I’m amphibious when it comes to that.
09:25
When I got the rock in my hand,
09:27
and let all these basketball players know.
09:29
From Lebron to Paul George
09:33
to Russell Westbrook.
09:36
Let them all know when I’m out there,
09:38
when I go to the left, it is what it is,
09:41
and you can’t do nothing about it.
09:42
[Joseph] Is Jamie Fox singing in Ray?
09:46
I did a little bit of singing in Ray
09:47
at the very beginning.
09:53
♪ That’s good to me ♪
09:56
And then a fun fact,
09:58
right after the movie came out,
10:00
I was in the studio with this guy, this kid,
10:02
by the name of Kanye West,
10:04
my friend Brione Prescott called me,
10:06
says get down to the studio,
10:07
and I did and he was working on this song
10:09
called Gold Digger.
10:11
Imagine hearing the track in its rawest form.
10:15
Then my boy says, it ain’t right unless Foxx gets on it.
10:18
Then we went into the booth for about an hour and a half,
10:20
two hours, maybe 24 hours, I don’t remember.
10:22
At one point we went
10:23
♪ She take my money when I’m in need ♪
10:27
And the rest was music history.
10:32
[Joseph] Is Jamie Foxx nice?
10:34
They forgot to put W-I-T-I-T.
10:41
And I’ll be damned if I ain’t.
10:43
Wait, what exactly are you nice with?
10:48
I wasn’t necessarily being specific.
10:50
I’m nice to people.
10:51
I’m a people person.
10:53
I feel like I’m nice with the culture.
10:57
Who are Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s parents?
11:00
People always ask me why do you have to have three names?
11:03
Why do you have to hyphen three names?
11:06
You have to have the longer name, is that why?
11:08
The reason is because my mom’s name is Jane Gordon.
11:10
My dad’s name is Dennis Levitt.
11:14
Why should I only take my dad’s name?
11:18
Now, I asked my parents later in life
11:22
what happens with my kids?
11:24
Are we supposed to hyphenate again?
11:26
Are they supposed to have four names?
11:28
Are they gonna be Gordon-Levitt hyphen?
11:31
They didn’t have an answer.
11:32
They said that’s for you to figure out.
11:35
[Jamie] Who does Joseph Gordon-Levitt look like?
11:39
People always ask me if I’m the kid in T2,
11:47
I definitely wish that I was the kid in T2.
11:50
I order you not to go!
11:52
I order you not to go!
11:56
Can Jamie Foxx play the piano?
11:58
I’ve been playing the piano since I was six years old.
12:00
I played the piano for my church when I was 13,
12:04
and my grandmother said I want you
12:05
to learn how to play classical piano
12:06
so you can go across the tracks.
12:08
I said grandma, what do you mean across the tracks?
12:09
On the white side of town?
12:12
All over the world music is respected.
12:15
Then went on to get a classical piano scholarship
12:18
at International University
12:20
where 81 different countries was represented.
12:24
Just letting you know I’m well-rounded.
12:26
It’s not just hip-hop.
12:28
[Joseph] Can I take you home, Jamie Foxx?
12:30
You know exactly you can.
12:32
Any time you want to take me home, you take me home.
12:35
And they’re referencing to I believe a song
12:38
that’s on an album Can I Take You Home, Girl?
12:41
[Joseph] Can Jamie Foxx ride a horse?
12:43
I can ride a horse,
12:44
and the horse that you see in Django is actually my horse.
12:46
Her name is Cheetah.
12:48
She now resides on my property.
12:50
I have 40 acres and two mules.
12:55
Cheetah’s on my property and Legend is on my property.
13:00
They are sexy, attractive beasts.
13:04
What are the mules’ names?
13:06
Well, they’re horses, Cheetah and Legend.
13:09
Oh, so they’re not mules, they’re horses.
13:11
I don’t want to be riding around on no mule.
13:15
Hey, you wanna go riding on some mules?
13:17
Um sure, that’s odd, but okay.
13:19
Thanks Wired for watching us.
13:20
I hoped you learned a little something about us.
13:23
My eyes are red ’cause I’ve been laughing.
13:25
It’s not for any other reason.
13:26
And thank you for watching.
13:27
Hope you learned something about us.
