VIDEO : Joseph Gordon-Levitt Talks About Meeting Edward Snowden

Oliver Stone?s Edward Snowden biopic may have been pushed back to next year and subsequently out of this year's Oscar race but that hasn?t stopped star Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who plays Snowden, from talking about meeting the whistleblower. Describing him as ?warm, kind and thoughtful," the actor told 'The Guardian' that Snowden "Was in good spirits." Gordon-Levitt added, "Certainly there was that note, that he very much would like to come home. He doesn?t want to live in Russia at all.? Gordon-Levitt reportedly had a four-hour long conversation with the former government contractor for his research, a conversation that Snowden?s lawyers didn?t at first want the actor to admit had taken place. He was even advised not to record the meeting.
