Life and career

[edit]

1980\u20132000: Early life and career beginnings

[edit]

\"Coat — Coat of arms of the noble house Gyllenhaal

Jacob Benjamin Gyllenhaal was born on December 19, 1980, in Los Angeles, California, United States, to screenwriter Naomi Foner (n\u00e9e Achs) and film director Stephen Gyllenhaal.^[5]^[6] Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, his older sister, appeared with him in the science fiction psychological thriller film Donnie Darko (2001). Gyllenhaal's father, who was raised as a Swedenborgian, is a Christian^[7] of Swedish and English descent and is a descendant of the Swedish noble Gyllenhaal family.^[8] His last ancestor to be born in Sweden was his great-great-grandfather, Anders Leonard Gyllenhaal.^[9] Gyllenhaal's mother is Jewish,^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13] and was born in New York City into an Ashkenazi Jewish family from Russia and Poland.^[14]^[15] Gyllenhaal has said that he considers himself Jewish.^[16]^[17] On his 13th birthday, Gyllenhaal performed a \"Bar Mitzvah-like act, without the typical trappings\", volunteering at a homeless shelter because his parents wanted to give him a sense of gratitude for his privileged lifestyle.^[18]^[19]\n

As a child, Gyllenhaal was regularly exposed to filmmaking due to his family's ties to the industry. He made his acting debut as Billy Crystal's son in the 1991 comedy City Slickers. His parents did not allow him to appear in The Mighty Ducks (1992) because it would have required him to leave home for two months.^[6] In subsequent years, his parents allowed him to audition for roles but regularly forbade him to take them if he were chosen.^[20] He was allowed to appear in his father's films several times. Gyllenhaal appeared in the 1993's A Dangerous Woman (along with sister Maggie), in \"Bop Gun\", a 1994 episode of Homicide: Life on the Street; and in the 1998 comedy Homegrown. Along with their mother, Jake and Maggie appeared in two episodes of Molto Mario, an Italian cooking show on the Food Network. Prior to his senior year in high school, the only other film not directed by his father in which Gyllenhaal was allowed to perform was the 1993 film Josh and S.A.M., a little-known children's adventure.^[21]\n

His parents insisted that he have summer jobs to support himself, and he thus worked as a lifeguard and as a busboy at a restaurant operated by a family friend.^[20] Gyllenhaal said his parents encouraged artistic expression: \"I do have parents who constantly supported me in certain ways. In other ways, they were lacking. Definitely, it's in expression and creativity where my family has always been best at.\"^[22] Gyllenhaal graduated from the Harvard-Westlake School in Los Angeles in 1998, then attended Columbia University, where his sister was a senior and from which his mother had graduated, to study Eastern religions and philosophy. At Columbia, he was a resident of John Jay Hall.^[23] Gyllenhaal dropped out after two years to concentrate on acting but has expressed intentions to eventually finish his degree.^[6] Gyllenhaal's first lead role was in October Sky, Joe Johnston's 1999 adaptation of the Homer Hickam autobiography Rocket Boys, in which he portrayed a young man from West Virginia striving to win a science scholarship to avoid becoming a coal miner. The film was positively received and earned $32 million; it was described in the Sacramento News and Review as Gyllenhaal's \"breakout performance\".^[21]^[24]\n

2001\u20132004: Donnie Darko to the London stage

[edit]

Donnie Darko, in which Gyllenhaal played his second lead role on film, was not a box office success on its initial 2001 release; eventually, the film became a cult favorite.^[25] Directed by Richard Kelly, the film is set in 1988 and stars Gyllenhaal as a troubled teenager who experiences visions of a 6-foot (1.8 m) tall rabbit named Frank who tells him that the world is coming to an end. Gyllenhaal's performance was well received by critics; Gary Mairs of Culture Vulture wrote that he \"manages the difficult trick of seeming both blandly normal and profoundly disturbed, often within the same scene.\"^[26]^[27]\n

Gyllenhaal's next role was as Pilot Kelston in 2002's Highway alongside Jared Leto. His performance was described by one critic as \"silly, clich\u00e9d and straight to video\".^[28] Gyllenhaal had more success starring opposite Jennifer Aniston in The Good Girl, which premiered at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival; he also starred in Lovely and Amazing with Catherine Keener.^[29] In both films he plays an unstable character who begins a reckless affair with an older woman. Gyllenhaal later described these as \"teenager in transition\" roles.^[30] Gyllenhaal later starred in the Touchstone Pictures romantic comedy Bubble Boy, which was loosely based on the story of David Vetter. The film portrays the title character's adventures as he pursues the love of his life before she marries the wrong man.^[31] The film was panned by critics,^[32] with one calling it \"stupid and devoid of any redeeming features\".^[33]\n

Following Bubble Boy, Gyllenhaal starred opposite Dustin Hoffman, Susan Sarandon and Ellen Pompeo in Moonlight Mile (2002), as a young man coping with the death of his fianc\u00e9e and the grief of her parents. The story, which received mixed reviews,^[34] is loosely based on writer-director Brad Silberling's personal experiences following the murder of his girlfriend, Rebecca Schaeffer.^[35] In his theatrical debut, Gyllenhaal starred on the London stage in Kenneth Lonergan's revival of This Is Our Youth at the Garrick Theatre in 2002.^[36] Gyllenhaal said, \"Every actor I look up to has done theatre work, so I knew I had to give it a try.\"^[37] The play ran for eight weeks in London's West End; Gyllenhaal received favorable reviews and an Evening Standard Theatre Award in the Outstanding Newcomer category.^[38]^[39]\n

Gyllenhaal was almost cast as Spider-Man for 2004's Spider-Man 2, due to director Sam Raimi's concerns about original Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire's health.^[40] Maguire recovered, however, and the sequel was shot without Gyllenhaal.^[41] The actors later starred together in Brothers (2009), and resemble each other enough that Gyllenhaal has jokingly complained about cab drivers often calling him \"Spider-Man.\"^[42] In 2003, he also auditioned for the role of Batman in the superhero film Batman Begins and came close being offered the part, but it was given to Christian Bale.^[43]^[44] Gyllenhaal subsequently appeared in the science fiction blockbuster The Day After Tomorrow in 2004, co-starring Dennis Quaid as his father.^[6]^[45]\n

2005\u20132011: Brokeback Mountain and leading roles

[edit]

In 2005, Gyllenhaal was cast in the drama Proof, with co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Anthony Hopkins, where he played a graduate student in mathematics who tries to convince Paltrow's character to publish a revolutionary proof to a problem puzzling the mathematicians' community. The film received a generally positive response. He also starred in Sam Mendes's Jarhead, where Gyllenhaal played a U.S. Marine during the first Gulf War. The film garnered a favorable response; Stephen Hunter of The Washington Post praises Gyllenhaal's performance, writing, \"He makes us see his character's intelligence\", adding \"he doesn't seem jealous of the camera's attention when it goes to others\".^[46]\n

In Brokeback Mountain (2005), Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger play young men who meet as sheep herders and embark upon a sexual relationship that begins in the summer of 1963 and lasts for 20 years.^[47] The film was often referred to in the media with the shorthand phrase \"the gay cowboy movie\",^[48] although there was differing opinion on the sexual orientation of the characters. The film won numerous accolades, including the Golden Lion prize at the Venice Film Festival.^[49] The film won three Academy Awards, and earned Gyllenhaal a nomination for Best Supporting Actor, but he lost to George Clooney for Syriana.^[50] The film also won four Golden Globes, and four British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), in which Gyllenhaal won for Best Supporting Actor.^[51] He and Ledger won an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss in 2006. Shortly after the 2006 Academy Awards, Gyllenhaal was invited to join the Academy in recognition of his acting career.^[52]\n

\nGyllenhaal expressed mixed feelings about the experience of being directed by Ang Lee in Brokeback Mountain but generally had more praise than criticism for his directorial style. While critical of the way Lee tended to disconnect from his actors once filming began, Gyllenhaal praised his encouraging direction of the actors and sensitive approach to the material.^[53]^[54] At the Directors Guild of America Awards on January 28, 2006, Gyllenhaal also praised Lee for \"his humbleness and his respect for everyone around him\".^[55] When asked about his kissing scenes with Ledger in Brokeback Mountain, Gyllenhaal said, \"As an actor, I think we need to embrace the times we feel most uncomfortable.\"^[56] When asked about the more intimate scenes with Ledger, Gyllenhaal likened them to \"doing a sex scene with a woman I'm not particularly attracted to\".^[47] Following the release of Brokeback Mountain, rumors circulated regarding the actor's sexual orientation. When asked about such gossip during an interview, Gyllenhaal said:

You know it's flattering when there's a rumor that says I'm bisexual. It means I can play more kinds of roles. I'm open to whatever people want to call me. I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened.^[57]

Gyllenhaal narrated the 2005 short animated film The Man Who Walked Between the Towers,^[58] based on Mordicai Gerstein's book of the same name about Philippe Petit's famous stunt.^[59] In January 2007, as host of Saturday Night Live, he put on a sparkly evening dress and sang \"And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going\" from the musical Dreamgirls for his opening monologue,^[60] dedicating the song to his \"unique fan base... the fans of Brokeback\".^[61] Later, Gyllenhaal starred in David Fincher's mystery thriller Zodiac (2007), based on the Zodiac Killer. He played Robert Graysmith, a San Francisco Chronicle political cartoonist.^[62] In preparation for his role, Gyllenhaal met Graysmith, and videotaped him to study his mannerisms and behavior.^[63] The film received a positive response; writing for The Sydney Morning Herald, Paul Byrnes opined that it was \"poignant, provocative and haunting\", and called Gyllenhaal \"terrific\".^[64] He next starred opposite Meryl Streep, Alan Arkin and Reese Witherspoon in 2007's Rendition, a Gavin Hood-directed political thriller about the U.S. policy of extraordinary rendition.^[65] Although it garnered a mixed response, New York magazine's David Edelstein called Gyllenhaal \"compelling ... he's a reticent actor. But he builds that limitation into the character\".^[66] Two years later, he co-starred with Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman in Jim Sheridan's Brothers, a 2009 remake of Susanne Bier's Danish film of the same name.^[67] It was met with mixed reviews and moderate box office returns, but Anthony Quinn of The Independent thought Gyllenhaal and Maguire gave \"honest performances\".^[68] Gyllenhaal has also claimed that Maguire's performance in the film influenced his acting throughout his career.^[69]\n

The following year, Gyllenhaal played the lead role in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, an adaptation of the video game of the same name, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and released by Disney. He starred opposite Anne Hathaway in the romantic-comedy Love & Other Drugs, released on November 24, 2010, which gained him a Golden Globe Award nomination.^[70] The Guardian's Philip French welcomed Gyllenhaal's choice of a comic role, in contrast to his previous film roles, but thought the film \"stumbles badly\".^[71] For his sole project in 2011, he portrayed Colter Stevens, a U.S. Army Aviation captain, in the 2011 time-travel thriller Source Code. Despite noting the film's unrealistic plot, Peter Howell of the Toronto Star praised the prime performances of the cast.^[72]\n

2012\u20132018: Critical acclaim and Broadway debut

Gyllenhaal starred alongside Michael Pe\u00f1a in David Ayer's action thriller End of Watch, about two Los Angeles street cops. The film, for which Gyllenhaal was also an executive producer, was released in September 2012 and received positive reviews, with Roger Ebert deeming it \"one of the best police movies in recent years, a virtuoso fusion of performances and often startling action\" and Salon's Andrew O'Hehir stating that the film was \"at least the best cop movie since James Gray's We Own the Night, and very likely since Antoine Fuqua's memorable Training Day (which, not coincidentally, was written by Ayer)\".^[73]^[74] To prepare for the role, Gyllenhaal took tactical training and participated in actual police ride-alongs with co-star Pe\u00f1a to help establish the language of the characters.^[75]\n
