Jake Gyllenhaal on Tom Holland: 'I really, truly do love the kid'

[@natsuiir0]

What did you learn on set from him? -Nothing he's a fool THAT is why we love him

[@sarabatista9]

I feel like Jake and Anthony Mackie would get along so well hahahah

[@NickthaGeek]

His comedic sense is genius. No wonder him,hugh and ryan are such good mates.

[@sophiewong9588]

NickTheGeek are they actually? I always thought they’re friendships were more of a publicity thing?

[@youraveragepasser-by7367]

@@sophiewong9588 not really. Jake and Hugh worked together in Prisoners and remained good friends afterwards. Jake and Ryan worked in Life together and stayed as friends. I think all three of them get along because their ages are close and their sense of humor matches

[@eveniu1134]

Lol, that X-mas sweater party prank.

[@carter_RU]

I was your 1K like

[@kyorikusagami84]

Nope it's just him & Reynolds

[@victoria-zv2mw]

Tom brings out the best side of Jake, you can see that they genuinely like each other

[@whostolemyfries]

But Jake doesn't have a bad side 🌈

[@victoria-zv2mw]

WhoStoleMyFries true

[@Janexcalibur]

I want to see a team-up onscreen of Tom & Jake vs. Anthony Mackie & Sebastian Stan!

[@TheTaylorham95]

@Trendco That'a what they meant lol. Just that they aren't just being costars, but are genuine friends

[@sophiewong9588]

You know if the interviewer was laughing out loud at everything Jake said you’d all be complaining that she was too much or being fake - she was great.

[@tinyfreg7788]

Sophie I agree! She made the interview a lot more fun because of the way she would respond to his humor.

[@akansharanbhise3174]

[@emercycrite]

Great? Puppies and ice cream in summer are great. The interviewer was adequate.

[@BritishGQ]

Thank you Sophie - you are great

[@intra8454]

Thank you Ailin!

If Jake Gyllenhaal would tell me I had a great personality I would die on the spot

Really? I’d get down on my knees first.

[@FishoD]

Thats why she is a professional. Very composed and despite his shenanigans (that viewers will apreciate later) she had a clear interview direction.

[@milvache]

Jake Gyllenhaal is such an humble actor. I hope he wins the Oscars one day, since he deserves it

[@Lexyboogie]

That jacket is so clean. Jake's got style.

[@kuldeepsolanki1577]

Jake’s got a stylist*

[@katlehovuyani3198]

I agree with you

[@usernaame316]

[@RK-sg2ge]

Jake: *says funny things* Interviewer: haha okay next question

[@wootwootletsplaysomefartnu8938]

smh

[@saumya7922]

Coz she had a pressure of covering more questions in span of 10 min .

[@serenecreenne9962]

Cool.

[@sophiewong9588]

She was great and you can tell Jake was very fond of her, she put him at ease and you can tell there was sincere comfort between the two... he literally says “you’ve got a great personality”

[@FishoD]

She wasnt there to be wooed. She was there to ask questions for an interview that viewers will then laugh at.

[@maxien87]

I love his humour, it’s so dry. 😆

[@ShaeRose98]

On a scale from Anthony Mackie to Jake Gyllenhaal, how much do you love Tom Holland?

[@akansharanbhise3174]

[@Jesseekify]

I would say... a solid Benedict Cumberbatch

[@Merdicano]

Chris Hemsworth, hahaha

[@MrFantabulousMKL]

I'd say..... A full on Taron Egerton! 🤩

[@ghostlingbud]

solid Sebastian Stan

[@tahiriperera2139]

I love this interviewer for some reason🙌 She threw some subtle shade while also giving us a different side of Jake

[@BritishGQ]

Thank you Tahiri, that's really appreciated

[@danielachamorro8783]

Only Jake could make such deadpan mean comments then genuinely switch to deadpan niceness.

[@narutouzumaki-iq9ye]

Am I alone in thinking that Jake talked to Ryan Reynolds before the interview and said something like "I'm going full serious for this".

[@norge0209]

😂😂😂 Well, his legs ARE crossed!

[@narutouzumaki-iq9ye]

@@xenagoras2253 , kid I think you are confused. People don't necessarily have the same username and real name.

[@mariepauvert2877]

The way he talks... you can tell he is really clever

[@SUPERchakalaka1]

She does have a very pleasant and calming voice.

[@Xaychedelic]

Jake: He (Tom) literally and figuratively took me under his wing. "This is how we do", "Don't freak out". Anyone remembered that Seth Meyers interview with Tom Holland where Jake was freaking out because of a last minute revised 3-paged script that Marvel threw at him? This is it. 😂

[@cassylk22]

Interviewer : What's the most British thing you've learnt? Jake : The sun is a beautiful thing and you should appreciate it more than you know. Uhh.. Okay.. 😂

[@bartrhodes-kemp3554]

Really British sense of humour - easily my favourite actor

[@AmmaraSHAH773377]

Yes that's the perfect description I noticed the Canadian actors have that I'm them mostly but its gorgous when finally amrican actors have it too.

[@Nazhussain07]

I really like that jacket! Probably costs a fortune but I wouldn't mind one of those myself.

[@syedarizvi7290]

Lol Tom wore something EXACTLY like what he's wearing here XD that made me laugh I wonder if he was trying to copy him :D that'd be cute

English isn't my first language and I really really like the way the interviewer speaks and her personality , at least in this interview. She is very calm, smart and graceful😊

Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Evans should get a wife or marry each other.

She did smile and laugh? Just because shes not cackling her head off, doesn't mean shes being unkind
