Who is Joseph Gordon-Levitt and does he have kids?

Joseph Gordon-Levitt had a string of parts as a child actor.

He comes from a family of creatives as his grandfather Michael Gordon starred in and directed several films from the 1940s through the 1960s.

Gordon-Levitt graduated from Columbia University in New York City.

In 2010, his brother, Dan Gordon-Levitt, was found unresponsive in his Hollywood hotel and later died.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt married Tasha McCauley in 2014.

The two share a comparatively private life and have elected to shield their two children from the attention that comes with their dad’s fame.

McCauley has a small following on Twitter and a private Instagram account. 

After completing undergraduate studies at Bard College in 2004, McCauly returned to higher education and earned a Master's of Business Administration from the University of Southern California in 2014. 

On LinkedIn, McCauley is listed as the Chief Executive of GeoSim Systems, a digital city modeling company.

During 2020's lockdown, Gordon-Levitt posted a video to his Twitter of himself and his wife collaborating on a song, presumably for his music production company HitRecord.

Why is Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s name hyphenated?

Gordon-Levitt took to Twitter to dispel theories that his middle name was Gordon.

He told his millions of followers “My mom’s name is Jane Gordon. My dad’s name is Dennis Levitt. My name is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Gordon isn’t my middle name. My middle name is Leonard. I have a hyphenated last name. I know it’s unconventional, but it’s what my parents named me. And I guess I sorta like it now.”

Gordon-Levitt’s last screen credit is for his work as the leading man in the Apple TV series Mr. Corman. 

His next project is a series called Super Pumped, in which JG-L will play Uber founder Travis Kalanick

The series was created in-part by Billions show runner Brian Koppelman.
