I heard Jake tell a story about Heath and he said, "That's how much he loved me." Their love was real. And I don't mean romantic love, they were both straight men, they were just two human beings who really adored each other. I feel like it's easier for women to have that kind of relationship. We have our friends and we'll say things like, "I love her. I adore her. She's my girl." It's a little more difficult for men because people ask, "Are they gay?" Heath and Jake weren't afraid of that. They loved each other and weren't afraid to say it. They did more for the LGBTQ+ community than people realize. For one, they made a mainstream film about two men falling in love, which was something that hadn't really been done before. But they also had this beautiful friendship that proved that two men can love each other and it doesn't have to be sexual. If you're man and you love your best friend, don't be afraid to say it. That's beautiful. As a straight woman, I tell my girlfriends "I love you" all the time. I wish more men would feel comfortable saying it too. My best friend died in a freak accident one year ago and she knew I loved her. It's the last thing we said to each other. I'm sure Heath knew that Jake loved him too.

There are multiple interviews of Jake saying he took the role almost completely for the chance to work with Ang Lee. He didn't worry about the story or potential ramifications to his career - it was a chance to work with Ang Lee. There are many other actors who have made similar statements. I don't think he's underrated at all, just understated. All the people who are important seem to recognize his talent, even if the media doesn't necessarily focus on him. Which, it seems like he prefers.

I just found out that Heath, Jake, and Ewan McGregor were the final three choices for "Moulin Rouge." I've always considered "Moulin Rouge" to be one of the most perfectly cast films of all time. Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor are magic. Both Heath and Jake were bummed that they didn't get the part, but it led to Brokeback, which is also one of the most perfectly cast films ever. I feel like everything fell into place. Brokeback wouldn't be the masterpiece that it is without Jake and Heath.

Heath was extraordinary. Jake and Ang still miss him. Jake had a really rough time, apart from Michelle. Jake was told by his agent, Jake was filming Brothers and as soon as his agent told him, Jake passed out, lost consciousness on the set of Brothers. They had to call an ambulance. Jake and Heath met long before the movie, they both auditioned for Moulin Rouge, and they both made it to the final three, them and Ewan McGregor, they met there. Jake told it in Vanity Fair in 2018. They became best friends Jake is Matilda's godfather
