"One of the first things I noticed actually was, he's got really good manners," Gordon-Levitt said. "He's sort of old-fashioned, in a way. You don't necessarily expect that in today's world, or when you think of someone who's really good at computers. You don't necessarily equate that with someone who's got a lot of social grace."
