They keep hating on Jake for something that happened a decade ago but he keeps responding with class and talent. A king!

[@taka-taktak]

They don't even know what happened. Noone does. All they say is a music video which did not literally enact their celebrity relationship where he was away for half the time for promoting his movie even within those 2-3 months.

[@isabellep8208]

When he gave up pronouncing his name is actually my favourite thing love this man

I met Jake Gyllenhaal some years ago. He was such a nice and humble guy.

[@GlobetrotterSoul]

Oh you are so lucky!! I cannot wait to meet him someday 😭

[@Rainedae1001]

I love Jake Gyllenhaal. He seems genuinely passionate about his work but chaotically hilarious when he has the chance to be.

[@joyceinhell]

He did get emotional when talking about his godmother haha

It upsets me that Jake doesn't have an Oscar yet.

[@kyorikusagami84]

Love his humor 🤣🤣🤣..... he's just such an intelligent person

[@tolgacanayakn883]

I can't believe he has one oscar nomination in his life.Why ? He should've taken for Nightcrawler,Southpaw,Stronger and Prisoners.Anyway,he's one of brilliant actors of all time.

[@themodernholmes1735]

There is definitely a future for Mysterio in the MCU. They were kind of ambiguous on whether he actually died at the end of the movie.
