Joseph Gordon-Levitt has said he tries to be open-minded when it comes to love and thinks real love is better than movie love.
The 32-year-old star told Take Part Live: “[Checklists] are doomed because you’re guaranteed to not be paying attention to the actual person. No person is going to fit into a quantified list.
“But look, I’m not gonna say that I’m completely guiltless in this. We all have our lists.”
He also spoke about not comparing relationships to those in films as movie love is nowhere near real love.
In the context of his new film Don Jon he said:
“Jon, the character I play, is constantly comparing his love and sex life to pornography. And Scarlett, her character, is constantly comparing her love life to these romantic Hollywood movies, and so if you're constantly comparing your real life to stuff you've seen on the screen, you're always going to be disappointed, because real life is not as simple as that.''
He added, ''I think real life is a lot more beautiful. And look, I love movies, but even the best movie can never be the same as real life.''
