Wanted to spend time with my kids: Joseph Gordon-Levitt on two-year hiatus from films

”I’m incredibly grateful for all of the things that I’ve gotten to do, but stopping wasn’t because I wanted to stop acting or stop working. It was because I wanted to spend time with my kids. So, now I’m finding that balance,” Gordon-Levitt told The Hollywood Reporter.

He said he has switched to making one film a year rather than working on three projects.

“We shot 7500 in 2017, Project Power in 2018 and then, The Trial of the Chicago 7 in 2019. All three of those movies are now coming out in the second half of this year,” he added.

Gordon-Levitt said the two-year break was the longest time he has been away from acting since he started his career as a child actor.

“That was the longest break I’d ever taken from acting in my entire life and since I was six years old. It meant a lot to me, and I’m extremely grateful that I get to do it. I hope I get to keep going forever,” he said.
