And now, three things you never knew about Jake Gyllenhaal …
It’s kinda hard to get a handle on Jake Gyllenhaal. He’s supremely talented, choosing wildly varying roles, and he’s not on the Hollywood scene that much, so it feels like we don’t know a lot about him.
On the Independent Spirit Awards brunch on Saturday morning, we caught up with Dan Gilroy, who directed Jake in Nightcrawler, asking him what would we be surprised to know about the actor, who’s up for a Golden Globe for his work in the film.
Here’s what Gilroy revealed:
JAKE IS FUNNY
“He’s got a tremendous sense of humor. He likes to laugh and he’s always looking to make a joke with a little bit of slyness and commentary.”
JAKE MAKES A MEAN SPOTIFY PLAYLIST
“He’s really into music. He’s a musician. Half the time when I’m talking to him, he’s like, ‘Have you heard this song?’ He’s very musically inclined, and I think actually that sort of music artistry gets into his performance somehow. … Anything new, he’s listening to. He’s always scouring and … turning me on to something I didn’t know about — which is a lot.
JAKE’S SPIRIT ANIMAL? COYOTE
“That was his totem animal (in Nightcrawler). He used that because coyotes are lean, and he lost 27 pounds trying to imitate that. But also there’s a hunger to a coyote, and I think the character is a very hungry character. It worked really well for him.”
This has been a fantastic ride for Jake and his fans! I hate watching the red carpet arrivals but I will watch it tonight, good luck Jake, Maggie and Ruth!
Tina Fey, Amy Pohler, and Jake Gyllenhall ... 5 seconds in and I'm so happy 😍
ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO BE SAD LOOKING AT JAKE GYLLENHAAL
Thank you Golden Globes for reminding me how good looking Jake Gyllenhall is
Can we talk about Jake Gyllenhaal for a sec? Like, does the man ever age? Does he ever look unattractive? Is he even real? #GoldenGlobes
Jenelle Riley @jenelleriley 28m28 minutes ago Maggie Gyllenhaal says Jake's NIGHTCRAWLER performance was an intensity she'd never seen. "You grew up with it!" Jake replied. #GoldenGlobes
Congrats to Ruth and Maggie, and Jake although he didn't win. I am pretty sure he will be getting his second Oscar nod come Thursday.
And twitter does not seem to happy about Jake losing either. LOL They think like we do that Jake deserves it for an original character and that he deserves more recognition overall.
"I thought Cumberbatch was going to win. Harvey is losing his touch?"
Hmmm Harvey has not really done that well at the Globes or the Oscars as far as wins in the last couple of years. I think Michelle won one with Harvey didn't she? While I like how much he invests in the campaigns I don't see him with a good track record of wins.
I wonder how Jake will respond to Harvey's relentless pursuit come next year if Southpaw is in play especially if Demolition is also in play with someone else.
Congrats to Maggie, I haven't seen many movies with her, but she was so beautiful when smiling.
I didn't expect any win for Jake, nomination was success, and hope for Oscar nomination, too, he still should be lock, but no one knows. I have high hopes for next year with SP.
And Jess, there is not just Demolition (which I think has no Oscar ambitions), but there is Everest. And if scenario is good, it is Oscar bite move.
This year nom for NC will be big step ahead for next potential win and SP is very close. Just Caprio with Revenant may destroy it :-))). SV
“Jake Gyllenhaal matched, if not surpassed, Tierney’s excitement when Wilson went up to accept her award. The pair are currently working together on Broadway’s Constellations. “My girl did it,” he exclaimed. (Imagine the praise he gave his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, when she accepted her award for Best Actress in a TV Movie or Mini-Series for The Honourable Woman.)”
I read somewhere that Jake would be the guest of honor at a luncheon today in Brentwood. It's an awards season activity. I'd love to know who is hosting it and who will be there.
I'm enjoying all these great photos. I love the candid "insider" pictures!
It didn't occur to me that Jake and Ruth are out there the weekend before they open. That's cutting it close. Especially if Jake stayed for a luncheon.
Not a fan of Ruth's dress. Would love to have seen her and Jake together on the rc.
I would have also loved to see them together on the red carpet. Jake looked so happy and beautiful. I loved the moment when Maggie won. He was so proud. He was having a great time.
“My girl did it,” he exclaimed.
So sweet!
BTW I hope the story about Reese is true and not fiction from US Weekly.
Lainey is currently in toronto. She didn't travel to LA for the Globes. She's repeating the U.S. Weekly story.
I saw Constellations when I was in NYC in Dec, the day after Jake's bday. His mom was there that night I absolutely loved it. I can't wait to read the reviews after it opens this week.
"Lainey is currently in toronto. She didn't travel to LA for the Globes. She's repeating the U.S. Weekly story."
All I know Canuck is that last night I saw a tweet from Lainey stating the things you do not see off camera such as exes Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon hugging it out. Like I said it was during the telecast of the GG's that she tweeted the comment. She may have not been there but she did tweet it before the US Weekly article.
I can't find the tweet but it could have been US Weekly sending a tweet to Lainey, I just assumed she there because the tweet was so random yet specific.
But Monica there is a picture of Reese in close proximity to Jake during a commercial, so I would not be surprised if happen before and after that picture was taken.
Canuck_Cutie, good to know you liked the play. Thanks for sharing.
Jess, I think Lainey saw this tweet from last night: @usweekly What you didn't see on TV: Exes Reese Witherspoon & Jake Gyllenhaal greeting each other with a hug during a commercial break! #GoldenGlobes
I hope it is true that they are friendly. Just it.
JAKE GYLLENHAAL,wow what a terrific person as well as being a terrific actor. i just met him with my friend derek wayne johnson, currently directing and producing a documentary on John Avildsen....jake's the real thing, sweet,gracious,kind and gorgeous.Ialso re met Rene Russo his co star in nightcrawler who was also sooooo nice and seemed so happy to see me as did her husband dan gilroy 9 who directed nightcrawlers. My friends znorby and gary (producer of nightcrawlers and whiplash)walters threw the party for JAKE....and it was a real feel good moment
And from the comments:
Met Jake at Sundance 2013. He is a prince of a lad. Very unimpressed with himself. Cheerful. All around nice man.
There was a sighting of Jake at the American Airlines lounge in LA, and IHJ has photos of him at LAX. So he should be back in NY for the big night tomorrow night.
Anatomy of a Scene | Nightcrawler I'm at work so I can't listen to the video, but I saw the one from Prisoners, this kind of things are always interesting.
Jake and Ruth will be back in time for Constellations Wednesday night, I wll be seeing the play then!
The GG's were a mixed bag for, would have loved for Jake to have won of course and i had no idea Rene and Dan was there, it would have been cool if they all sat together.
Congratulations to Ruth and Maggie but a big thumbs down on their dresses!
Here's a nice early review. Good words for the play and both actors:
I think I saw the 5th or 6th show so there’s a good chance some things have changed but honestly I hope they didn’t because what I saw was absolutely wonderful. ...
Each scene is the same but yet different, sometimes with the same dialogue and either played with a different attitude and different subtext or tweaked slightly to make one character the villain of the scene. And each scene is quick; some were no more than 20-seconds long. Imagine how that is to act? Actually imagine how the whole show would be to act in? Each scene has to have a direct intention, a beginning, middle and an end. There’s got to be hundreds of scenes in the show. Rehearsals must have been so complicated and maddening! But Wilson and Gyllenhaal, both in their Broadway debuts, knock it out of the park.
With Nightcrawler, March’s Enemy and last year’s Prisoners, I can’t think of another actor who is more at the top of his game right now then Gyllenhaal. His streak continues here. As the bearded Brit Roland, he’s charming, sometimes mean and sad but always you’re rooting for him.
If you’ve watched ShowTime’s, The Affair, you’ll know that Wilson is having an equally great year too. Her Marianne is smart yet approachable, tender and tragic.
And Happy 33rd to Ruth Wilson. What a way to celebrate!

Jake's bad audition, in which he tries to say "sibilant."
Oh, thanks, Monica! I saw last night that Jake was presenting but I don't see him on that list.
ReplyDeleteIt's nearly midnight here - can't stay up as I'm having an early day tomorrow for work.

Did Salma Hayek just curse out Jake Gyllenhal on #ERedCarpet ? LOL!
I saw the end where they hugged - did anyone catch Jake and Salma?
Not a fan of Ruth's dress. Would love to have seen her and Jake together on the rc.
ReplyDeleteJust added another selfie, Bobbyanna.
Saw another comment on the Jake/Salma "fight." I think I taped the pre-show so I can rewind.

All the awards to Jake Gyllenhaal's beard #GoldenGIobes

Wow! Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal!
Jake Gyllenhaal wanted a #JesuisCharlie bracelet and hope we'll talk tonight. mycineplus # GG2015

“@MTV: Hi, @joshuahorowitz. Please give Jake Gyllenhaal my number. Thanks. 😘 #GoldenGlobes ” 🙌
I will google how to spell Gyllenhaal at least 7 times tonight.
My obsession with Jake Gyllenhaal and his beautiful freaking face is deathly.

Thank you GG for continuously showing Jake Gyllenhaal before a commercial break
@TheCut: Is it possible to marry into the Gyllenhaal family? Asking for a friend.
Someday I hope to live in a world where Jake Gyllenhaal doesn't have to bring his sister as his date to the Golden Globes.
DID YOU SEE IT? GYLLENHAAL AND CHASTAIN IN THE SAME FRAME
It's been almost two hours without Jake Gyllenhaal. Send help. #GoldenGIobes

this entire show should just be different shots of mark ruffalo, ben affleck and jake gyllenhaal seductively staring at the camera
Watching Downton, so I missed Maggie's speech. But congrats!
Yay Ruth Wilson won too.
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling Ruth was going to win after The Affair won best drama. Congratulations to Ruth and Maggie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Ruth and Maggie, and Jake although he didn't win. I am pretty sure he will be getting his second Oscar nod come Thursday.
ReplyDeleteAnd twitter does not seem to happy about Jake losing either. LOL They think like we do that Jake deserves it for an original character and that he deserves more recognition overall.
I thought Cumberbatch was going to win. Harvey is losing his touch?

Condrats to Maggie and Ruth!

Boxing video: At about 4 minutes, you can see Jake with Jay-Z.
ReplyDeleteJe suis Charlie.
IHJ has Maggie's acceptance speech and the E! interview, as well as others here.
ough! Too bad... however, It's always great seeing Jake at these events...

ReplyDeleteI'm enjoying all these great photos. I love the candid "insider" pictures!
I know - wish we got more insider info!
ReplyDeleteHopefully this will not be the prevailing opinion. They jumped the gun and have now deleted the tweet:
Sadly, #Constellations is a Broadway dud. http://bit.ly/1A8ILvq.
The URL spells out the review:

Ouch!
It didn't occur to me that Jake and Ruth are out there the weekend before they open. That's cutting it close. Especially if Jake stayed for a luncheon.
Thanks for all the stories / pics / interviews! Really enjoying them!
ReplyDeleteToo bad for Jake - but it still looks like he / they had fun! :)
P.S. I think they deleted the 'Constellations' review... the link doesn't work for me.
ReplyDeleteIt'll have its premiere tomorrow, am I right?
Yeah, they deleted the review and the tweet, I think. Poor form to jump the gun on the reviews.
ReplyDeleteIt has been a fun couple of days, even if Jake didn't win. I hope there won't be bad reviews to spoil the week.
Or a lot of bad reviews. Clearly, there will be at least one!
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of Ruth's dress. Would love to have seen her and Jake together on the rc.

Looks like there was a lunch yesterday in LA for Jake/Nightcrawler. Photo on instagram:

And from Sally Kirkland's FB page:
JAKE GYLLENHAAL,wow what a terrific person as well as being a terrific actor. i just met him with my friend derek wayne johnson, currently directing and producing a documentary on John Avildsen....jake's the real thing, sweet,gracious,kind and gorgeous.Ialso re met Rene Russo his co star in nightcrawler who was also sooooo nice and seemed so happy to see me as did her husband dan gilroy 9 who directed nightcrawlers.

Rene Russo and Dan Gilroy where at the Globes too (of course) I would have liked to see some pics of all of them together.
ReplyDeleteCrossing fingers for the Oscars!
Oh! forgot to say, FILMAX finally confirmed the Spanish release date for Nightcrawler, yay! :)
ReplyDeleteAnatomy of a Scene | Nightcrawler I'm at work so I can't listen to the video, but I saw the one from Prisoners, this kind of things are always interesting.

IHJ has some pictures of the tables, and Dan & Rene were sitting at the same table with Jake & Maggie.
ReplyDeleteAlso pictures of Jake at the airport leaving L. A. yesterday.
So happy for everyone who gets to see the play!
Jake in NY today:
ReplyDeleteLove NYC for star gazing. Saw Jake in person on 14th St. Looks even more handsome in person. Ay Caramba!
Casual lunchtime spin next to Jake Gyllenhaal. I liked it.
Some cute GG footage of Jake in this video about Jake seeing Taylor and Reese. Just turn off the sound :)
Getting nervous for reviews for the play and also that Jake is going to get snubbed on Thursday. I hope it's a better week than that for Jake.
I wish Jake and Ruth every success tonight! All the tweets I've seen have been SO positive about the play!
ReplyDeleteUV, we have to send good karma out for Thursday's announcements! I believe Jake is firmly in 4th place.
I was on the GoldDerby website and I agree with Ann Thompson's predictions as far as Best Actor nominations go. : )
There are photos at IHJ of Jake, Dan & Rene at the luncheon to honor Jake for BC yesterday in Brentwood.
All right - only good thought, Bobbyanna!
ReplyDeleteHere's a nice early review. Good words for the play and both actors:
I think I saw the 5th or 6th show so there’s a good chance some things have changed but honestly I hope they didn’t because what I saw was absolutely wonderful. ...
Each scene is the same but yet different, sometimes with the same dialogue and either played with a different attitude and different subtext or tweaked slightly to make one character the villain of the scene. And each scene is quick; some were no more than 20-seconds long. Imagine how that is to act? Actually imagine how the whole show would be to act in? Each scene has to have a direct intention, a beginning, middle and an end. There’s got to be hundreds of scenes in the show. Rehearsals must have been so complicated and maddening! But Wilson and Gyllenhaal, both in their Broadway debuts, knock it out of the park.
With Nightcrawler, March’s Enemy and last year’s Prisoners, I can’t think of another actor who is more at the top of his game right now then Gyllenhaal. His streak continues here. As the bearded Brit Roland, he’s charming, sometimes mean and sad but always you’re rooting for him.
If you’ve watched ShowTime’s, The Affair, you’ll know that Wilson is having an equally great year too. Her Marianne is smart yet approachable, tender and tragic.
And Happy 33rd to Ruth Wilson. What a way to celebrate!
