It’s the kind of game we’ve all played — who’d play you in the movie version of your life? Jeff Bauman got Jake Gyllenhaal. He’s still asked the question a lot these days, as he and the Oscar-nominated actor do press ahead of the release of his biopic “Stronger,” about Bauman’s life in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing.

“We get Aaron Rodgers a lot,” Gyllenhaal answers.

“He can’t act — well, I guess he does the [State Farm] commercials,” Bauman adds.

“Yeah, he’s pretty good,” Gyllenhaal says.

Um, isn’t that quite the leap, an NFL star in 30-second ads to the lead in “Brokeback Mountain” and “Nightcrawler?”

Jake Gyllenhaal may be an Oscar-nominated actor and Broadway star, but there’s still one role he hasn’t yet added to his resume: father.

Gyllenhaal, 36, opens up in the new issue of PEOPLE about his desire to one day start a family. “I want to continue becoming more of an adult than I already am,” he says of his future. “Hopefully with a family of my own.”

The Stronger actor says his bond with his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal‘s two daughters makes him excited for fatherhood. “My sister has raised two beautiful daughters. They are the most amazing girls,” he says. “It’s fun to send them home with a lot of candy, because it was almost like, ‘Enjoy it, Mags!’ A little payback for being the sister who made me perform weird shows at our parents’ dinner parties.”
