Joseph Gordon-Levitt thinks "pop culture is pornographic".
The 39-year-old actor - who found global fame as a teenager on the hit sitcom 3rd Rock from the Sun - has claimed that everything in mainstream culture is now objectified.
He reflected: "I considered myself an artist even back then. Which, I grant, was pretentious. But a lot of pop culture is pornographic.
"We don't see people as people. We see them as things, and when we watch pornography we don't see the people in the video as people either.
