Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt Pay Homage to <i>Sid and Nancy</i>

7:30 p.m. · July 8, 2009 · by Matthew Richardson

In the midst of promoting their upcoming adolescent indie chick-flick 500 Days of Summer, She & Him songstress Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt  appeared in this pretty silly/absolutely bizarre video where they pay homage to Sid and Nancy, the killer being that Deschanel plays Sid Vicious and Gordon-Levitt plays Nancy Spungen.

This was done for Mean Magazine and MSN's new Cinemash series, where actors quasi-recreate scenes from popular movies. Coming up is Common and Christopher Mintz-Plasse doing Training Day, members of "Reno 911!" and Human Giant doing Point Break, and Charlene Yi and Channing Tatum doing Dirty Dancing. Watch Deschanel and Gordon-Levitt's contribution here.
