Joseph Gordon-Levitt Talks 'Bizarre' Mindy Kaling Collaboration

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is suave while attending the photo call for his upcoming film The Walk during 2015 Summer Of Sony Pictures Entertainment at The Ritz-Carlton Cancun on Monday (June 15) in Cancun, Mexico.

The 34-year-old actor was joined by his co-stars Charlotte Le Bon and Ben Kingsley.

Joseph recently chatted about teaming up with Mindy Kaling on a short for his Hit Record on TV.

“She asked me about Hit Record and I said, ‘maybe you want to do something?’ I told her the themes of the different episodes, and she gravitated toward “The Dark,” and she came up with this bizarre, dark comedy,” Joseph shared to THR.

He added, “She wrote it and then we ended up acting in it together in front of the green screen. She recruited [The Mindy Project's] Chris Messina to do the third part. We shot it in front of a green screen and then we put that footage up on the site, and illustrators and animators all contributed all these different elements that end up being the graphical world behind us.”

FYI: Charlotte is wearing a Jonathan Simkhai top and skirt with Kurt Geiger London shoes.
