Co-Stars Sarsgaard And Gyllenhaal Fought For Real On Jarhead Set
Jarhead co-stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard fought for real on the set of the army movie, after a fight scene left the latter with a broken rib.
Sarsgaard admits he punched Gyllenhaal “as hard as he could in the windpipe” during a bout of “macho crap”, intensified by their real life relationship – Sarsgaard is married to Gyllenhaal’s sister Maggie.
The fight took place during a scene that required a mob of soldiers, including Gyllenhaal, to brand Sarsgaard’s character.
Sarsgaard was hurt during the first take – he later discovered he had suffered a broken rib – and he snapped when director Sam Mendes ordered further takes.
The star tells GQ magazine, “When they came on take two, they looked like they were coming just as hard, so I hit Jake as hard as I could in the windpipe and kind of claimed it was an accident and stuff. And they came for a third time, and it was really hard again, and I just… I lost it.”
The pair didn’t speak for 10 days – but he insists the bust-up eventually strengthened their friendship.
Sarsgaard adds, “The nice thing is, for Jake, he doesn’t see having any argument as something that ruins a relationship. He sees it as something that could potentially help one.
“I’m extremely close to him. He’s basically my brother.”

Jake Shows Off 'Action Figure' Bod in Prince
Jake Gyllenhaal embodies an action star – literally – in his new movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, according to his costar Gemma Arterton.
“He has so much action, but he does really well at it,” Arterton says in a video promoting the movie, due in theaters May 28. “He’s a bit of an action figure himself, I think.”
Gyllenhaal, 29, who plays the Prince of Dastan, definitely has an action figure physique for his role.
In the flick, Gyllenhaal’s buff character joins forces with a princess, Tamina (Arterton), in medieval Persia to fight a furious leader who is trying to destroy the world by stirring up a devastating sandstorm.
“She realizes that his destiny is actually part of her destiny,” says Arterton, 24.
But does Gyllenhaal really believe in fate? He just might. “I think there are signs all along the way throughout our life that tell us things that we can either pay attention to – or not,” he says.
Mike Newell Talks "Prince of Persia" and Jake Gyllenhaal
The director of Prince of Persia Mike Newell did an interview with mb.com.ph and I thought I would post this little bit about Jake:
Q: Was Jake Gyllenhaal your first choice to play Dastan and what was it about him that got him the part?
Newell: You had to have someone of a certain age. He had to have a command of the screen, which Jake obviously does and is partly what makes Jake a very interesting actor. I looked around and Jake was the first name that came into my head. And though I did meet lots and lots of other actors, I kept coming back to him.
