"But I get that thrill the most of, ‘Wow, it’s really somebody else, it’s not me.’ I did a lot of work to try and do my version that wasn’t an imitation of Bruce Willis, but had sort of the spirit of Bruce Willis - If I had to pick a favourite, acting-wise, this is up there for me," he said. "Now granted, I sort of cheated with the prosthetics, I kind of look different." In concluding his comments, Gordon-Levitt noted that playing a younger version of Willis contributes to his fondness for the role of Joe.

It’s probably why Looper is my favorite performance of mine because it’s the most different," Gordon-Levitt continued. He brought out charts, he brought out photos of Bruce and of me and pointed out, ‘Look, the distance between the bottom of his nose and the top of his lip, it’s just not the same, I can’t fix that, you will not get him to look like him.'" Kazuhiro Tsuji, the phenomenal makeup designer, told Rian and me that it was impossible to make me look like Bruce Willis. He stated, “I wore hours and hours of prosthetic makeup every day to look a little bit like Bruce Willis.
