Joseph Gordon-Levitt Gets Harvard's Hasty Pudding Honor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Actor, director and producer Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been named the Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals Man of the Year.
Hasty Pudding Theatricals, the nation's oldest collegiate theatrical organization, announced Thursday that Gordon-Levitt was selected not just because of acting talent but because he is a "visionary entrepreneur who developed a revolutionary platform for artistic content creation and distribution."
Gordon-Levitt will be roasted and receive his pudding pot on February 5th.
He said in a statement that after looking at the list of previous winners he is "simultaneously struck with intense delusions of grandeur and mild waves of humility."
Previous winners include former Carmel mayor/actor/director Clint Eastwood, actors Robert deNiro and Harrison Ford. Chris Pratt won last year.
Gordon-Levitt will next be seen in Oliver Stone's "Snowden," playing Edward Snowden, who leaked classified NSA documents.
