Joseph Gordon-Levitt Serenades Wife Tasha McCauley With Taylor Swift's 'Lover' on 'Tonight Show'

Joseph Gordon-Levitt offered his rendition of Taylor Swift's 'Lover' to honor his wife on her birthday.

The 10 Things I Hate About You star made an appearance this week on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he was promoting his and Eddie Murphy's new film, Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. After previewing a clip of the film (out July 3), Gordon-Levitt lamented being in New York City and away from his wife, Tisha McCauley, who was celebrating her birthday that night. The 43-year-old actor said he texted Jimmy Fallon ahead of his appearance hoping he'd let him give his wife a special birthday present on the air. After hitting a few chords, Gordon-Levitt then broke out with, "We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January / And this is our place, we make the rules," before ultimately ending with an emphatic "Lover!"
