Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars in drag show after being named Harvard University’s Man of the Year

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt was last night crowned Harvard University’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals Man of the Year, and turned to drag to celebrate.

Starring as character Philippe Petit, the 34-year-old actor wore a bra, dropped his trousers and placed a huge faux ‘joint’ between his lips, reports Daily Mail Online, before sharing a moment of PDA with a drag queen and even sucking on a cow’s teat during his performance.

After the comedy performance, Joseph spent 40 minutes being roasted by the Hasty Pudding’s cast members, according to The Boston Globe.

Harvard University are reported to have chosen Joseph as the 50th recipient of their Man of The Year award due to him being a “talented actor” and a “visionary entrepreneur” after honouring actors such as Tom Cruise, Clint Eastwood, Harrison Ford, Robert De Niro, Chris Pratt, and Bruce Willis in years previous.

Gordon-Levitt also follows ‘Scandal’ actress Kerry Washington, who was recently named as Harvard University’s theatrical organisation’s Woman of the Year.

After the comedy show and roasting, the ‘The Walk’ actor then took to the snowy streets of Harvard to take part in another sketch with yet another drag queen.

Joseph seems to be becoming very fond of drag performances of late, following his performance of Janet Jackson’s ‘Rhythm Nation’ on ‘Lip Sync Battle’ back in November.
