The _Snowden_ actor is a first-time father after welcoming a son [with his wife](http://www.people.com/article/joseph-gordon-levitt-married-tasha-mccauley), Tasha McCauley, over the Aug. 15 weekend, his rep confirms to PEOPLE. Though the couple won’t be releasing their baby boy’s name, “the family is all happy and healthy,” a source tells PEOPLE. Gordon-Levitt, 34, wed McCauley, the co-founder and CEO of Fellow Robots, [during a quiet ceremony](http://www.people.com/article/joseph-gordon-levitt-married-tasha-mccauley) at their home in December.

It was like someone whose been punched in the nose a lot times. Yeah. Yeah, that's a guy that's been beaten. So this is like, this is like, this is like, don't look at me. Do, don't look me. Look over there. All right. All right. All right. Yes. Gordon- Levitt was able to get into character even while wearing a ridiculous fake nose that O'Brien just happened to have on hand. And the actor has seen success with prosthetic schnozes in the past. For his role in the 2012 film, Looper, Gordon Levitt had to wear a fake nose and other pieces to look like a younger version of co star Bruce Willis. MTV spoke with Gordon Levitt's makeup artist, who had to make special lip pieces, colored contacts and even fake eyebrows to complete the transformation. Sounds like a lot of work but it was worth it in the end. Gordon- Levitt was listed as having one of the Best 15 Performances by Fake Noses on Film by Vulture last month. Looks like Vulture really nose their noses.
