Joseph Gordon-Levitt Celebrates 10 Things I Hate About You Anniversary With Rare Cast Photo
It has been 20 years since 10 Things I Hate About You; the movie that introduced us to Heath Ledger's singing voice, the strange erotica-writing principal, and one of the greatest star casts of all time released.
The romantic-comedy successfully modernized Shakespeare (it is loosely based on the playwright's Taming of the Shrew) and is remembered fondly for featuring Heath Ledger in one of his best roles. Joseph Gordon-Levitt's bromance with his co-star is one of the best things about the film, and the actor shared a rare photo of the cast to mark its release anniversary.
10 Things I Hate About You Released On March 31, 1999
Joseph Gordon-Levitt posted a picture of the film's leading cast members to Twitter, celebrating 20 years since 10 Things I Hate About You released.
The actor played the lovable Cameron James in the film, alongside Heath Ledger's Patrick Verona, Julia Stiles' Kat Stratford and Larisa Oleynik's Bianca Stratford. The photo sees the actors against the Padua High School background, which they attended in the iconic film.
Gordon-Levitt shared in the caption, "'10 Things I Hate About You' came out today, March 31st, back in 1999."
"I'll never forget that summer, making that movie with such wonderful people. The best of times."
The Inception actor added, "Still can't believe it was over 20 years ago."
The movie's fans were excited about the actor's tribute, and shared their love for the film.
"Still one of my favorite movies of all time. Also, still one of the most brilliant soundtracks as well..." wrote @abbysmith27.
"Daryl Mitchell as Mr. Morgan the best and realest teacher taking down Kat and her fauxpression is still legendary," added @QondiNtini.
@gabbysway2 wall all praise for Julia Stiles' character, "She was my absolute role model. It was the first time I saw someone not be afraid to speak her mind and stand up for herself."
Directed by Gil Junger and written by Kirsten Smith and Karen McCullah, 10 Things I Hate About You became a teen rom-com classic, and was Heath Ledger's first ever U.S. role.
The film followed the Stratford sisters; the anti-social, rebellious Kat and the popular Bianca; who wants to date (and live the life of a normal teenager) but is forbidden to, unless her sister does. In an attempt to win her over, Cameron; her friend from high-school sets up a plan, seeking Patrick's help to charm Kat.
