Joseph Gordon-Levitt sang Taylor Swift’s song ‘Lover’ for his wife’s birthday.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, known for his acting in “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,” made a heartwarming gesture on The Tonight Show. During his visit on June 19th, he pulled out an acoustic guitar to pay a special tribute to his wife, who was not present with him. The actor mentioned that it was his wife’s birthday and expressed his sadness at being away from her on such a special day. He contacted host Jimmy Fallon to ask if he could give his wife a unique birthday present on the show, to which Fallon happily agreed.

Fallon, ever ready to make dreams come true, allowed Gordon-Levitt to perform a song for his wife, Tasha McCauley. The actor dedicated the performance to his wife, calling her the most luminous soul and expressing his gratitude for her existence. The song he chose to perform was Taylor Swift’s “Lover,” a favorite of his wife. With Fallon joining in on the chorus and drumming on his desk, Gordon-Levitt delivered a heartfelt cover of the song with a giant smile on his face. Gordon-Levitt and McCauley, who tied the knot in December 2014, share two sons.

Apart from his musical tribute, Gordon-Levitt also discussed his participation in the reboot of a beloved childhood franchise. He shared his method of creating playlists for his movie characters to immerse himself in their world. For his latest role, he revealed that the only song on the playlist was Harold Faltermeyer’s “Axel F,” the iconic theme from 1984. The Roots played this theme as Gordon-Levitt entered the show, and the star later danced to the synth classic during the interview.
