Inception Star On Street Fighter II

Fresh off Inception, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is doing the variety show circuit to promote the film and talking about something extremely important. That’s right, he’s talking Street Fighter II.

Gordon-Levitt began acting at the age of 6 and appearing in commercials. While he didn’t exactly love doing ads, he did love that it enabled him to buy a Street Fighter II arcade cabinet.

“”I think Street Fighter II is the real deal,” the actor told talk show host Jimmy Fallon. “That’s like the fast paced chess game, that’s where the real skill is at. Like all those other games have blood and gimmicks and stuff.”

If he liked Street Fighter II, he’d love Super Street Fighter IV. Capcom, get him an arcade cabinet and STAT!

Oh wait. Dude’s rich. Someone tell Gordon-Levitt to buy a Super Street Fighter IV cabinet and do it right now!!

    So hope the rumours are true about this kid playing the Riddler in the next Batman film. He just looks like he belongs in Gotham.

    Joe’s awesome. If his acting skill’s didn’t prove it, this does (somehow)
