It's been nearly one decade since we first watched Tom and Summer's relationship crumble in 500 Days of Summer — and it's still our favorite non-love story ever. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel are perfect as the ill-fated couple, and Joseph understands why viewers might blame his character for their breakup. "I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is," he told Playboy magazine at the time of the film's release. "He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she’ll give his life meaning because he doesn’t care about much else going on in his life....That's not healthy." He continued, "A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them," Jgl concluded.
