Jake Gyllenhaal managed to dupe a few cops into thinking he was part of the force on the set of his upcoming film, “End of Watch,” in which he portrays an LAPD officer.
The 31-year-old actor, who took on five months of training and shaved his head for the role, was apparently so convincing with his insider lingo, his director, David Ayer, said a bonafide street team couldn’t tell the difference.
In an interview with Yahoo! News, the filmmaker, who also wrote the cop movie “Training Day,” described the reality-style setup that led to the deception.
“The movie’s ‘found footage’ shooting style required the camera crew to stay out of sight,” Ayer said. Thus, Gyllenhaal and actor Michael Peña, his partner in the film, performed their scenes unexposed.
Several interviews from the ‘A Celebration of Paul Newman’s Dream’ benefit, as well as footage of Jake on stage, have been added to the video archive. You can also download the videos in the media section.

Deadline Hollywood reports:
Not long after leaving his longtime manager, actor Jake Gyllenhaal has left his longtime agency. He grew up, so to speak, at CAA as one of Kim Hodgert’s first clients. I’m assured his departure is not because of anything she has done. “He needed to make a change after 15 years. He has enormous respect for CAA.” He will now be repped by WME’s Patrick Whitesell.
