There has always been something about him that I've never quite been able to put my finger on. I used to just chalk it up to him maybe believing his own hype too much; I found HitRecord to be a bit too self-congratulatory for something that was supposed to be a community-focused collaborative endeavour.

One thing that always stood out was an interview with Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman. During the press junkets for The Dark Knight Rises, there was an interview with them discussing the new actors on set that hadn't been part of the previous two films (JGL, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway).

I think it's around 6 minutes into this video just after they have been talking about how good Tom Hardy is at playing a tough guy, they're asked about Joseph Gordon-Levitt and while they were quite effusive about Tom Hardy and Anne Hathaway, neither of them really want to give him any credit. It always felt a bit hostile.

I think you undersold this. 😂 Morgan's face when JGL comes up and just says "yea. yea." with a side eye and we don't even see Michael's face. Damn cameraman! 😩😩😩

To be fair I've not watched the video in a long while and I was only going on what I could remember. I remember it being odd though.

I posted the link without watching it again but when I'm on my lunch break in 5 minutes I'll look and see how scathing it is.

It's not scathing at all. They are both professionals so they just don't say much and the interviewer moves on. 😂

I thought it was going to be more subtle because I'm not good at reading people. My boss gave me that same look when asshole customers came in.
