Joseph Gordon-Levitt has revealed that Metallica allowed their music to be featured in his latest film after watching clips of his performance.The actor plays a troubled heavy metal fan in Hesher, with former-Metallica guitarist Cliff Burton - who died when the band's tour bus crashed in 1986 - an important influence.
Contactmusic quotes the Inception star as saying: "They dug the movie. It was a real honour and I took a lot of inspiration for this character from the basis of some of their early albums, this guy named Cliff Burton, who played on Master of Puppets and Ride the Lightning.
"And when the band saw it, they were like, 'You know what, he reminds us of Cliff,' and we didn't even tell them that's what we were going for. And they let us use their songs and I was actually moved because I grew up headbanging to Metallica."
Gordon-Levitt has been confirmed to play the role of police officer John Blake in the upcoming The Dark Knight Rises. He will also star in sci-fi film Looper, to be released in 2012.
