If Jake Gyllenhaal had just eight minutes left to live, it’s safe to say the media-shy actor probably wouldn’t spend that precious time with a journalist. “I think if I was in that situation, I would call my family and it wouldn’t be to apologise but it would be, hopefully, to have a good laugh. To hear them laugh because I love that with my family. And if that eight minutes came right now, I’d be, ‘Sorry I got to go. I’m gonna have to cut our interview short’,” he laughs.

“You’re like, ‘What the hell is going on?’ I thought that they couldn’t take it any farther than it had already been taken.”

Jumping from independent pictures to mainstream movies was Jake Gyllenhaal’s calling card. Now the 30-year-old seems focused on middle-of-the-road projects.

Last spring, he played the running-and-jumping Prince Dastan in the frothy fantasy film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, which was based on the popular video games. He was also a slick pharmaceutical salesman opposite Anne Hathaway’s free spirit in the cheeky romantic comedy Love & Other Drugs. Up next for Gyllenhaal is the sci-fi thriller Source Code, which opens April 1.
