Some movies you just can’t quit, opines Vanity Fair.
Jake Gyllenhaal recently sat down with Vanity Fair to talk through his career timeline—from his child-acting days in City Slickers to his bank-robbery-action flick Ambulance. During the chat, he also opened up about working with the late Heath Ledger on Brokeback Mountain.
“The relationship between me and Heath while we were making this movie was something that was based on a profound love for a lot of people that we knew and were raised by in our lives,” said Gyllenhaal. “A deep respect for their love and their relationship.”
Gyllenhaal went on to recall how seriously Ledger took the film and its subject matter. “There were many jokes being made about the movie, or poking fun at, things like that,” Gyllenhaal said. “And [Ledger’s] consummate devotion to how serious and important the relationship between these two characters was—it showed me how devoted he was as an actor and how devoted we both were to the story and the movie.”
