Actor and semi-regular drag artist Joseph Gordon-Levitt became Janet Jackson for a lip sync battle ā€“ and knocked one of her classic tracks out of the park.

The 500 Days of Summer actor is no stranger to embracing his feminine side ā€“ dressing up in the past for Saturday Night Live, and just last month getting a camp music video crash course from Todrick Hall.

This week, he put his dance moves to work on Spike series Lip Sync Battle ā€“ in tribute to the legendary Janet Jackson.
