Jake Gyllenhaal Talks Heath Ledger with GQ

Currently busy filming a new movie titled “Source cipher,” Jake Gyllenhaal took moment to chat it up with GQ magazine for their May 2010 issue.

Hitting newsstands on April 20th, the “Brokeback Mountain” stud opens up about his relationship with Heath Ledger, his parents’ recent divorce and his love for his family.

As for his own life, Gyllenhaal explains, “I’m trying not to keep things so neat. I think I’m realizing my strengths and my faults. I think I’m trying to see what is me…and what is not me.”

Talking about working with Heath Ledger, Jake tells, “He was very sensitive. He didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew who he was. I think actors very often, they know how to present something, and that’s part of their job. I think he

was just really sensitive. We often used to do a lot of things together, considering citizens were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together.”

As for how Ledger’s death affected him personally, the 29-year-old explains, “Even when we did Brokeback and stuff, it was like my work was the only thing that mattered to me. It was like I could only understand or define myself through doing that. Life, I didn’t totally understand. And I think I was afraid of life. And I had success in my work, suitable success that you could keep going back there. But after that happened…I think I recognized that it was work. And I recognized that that is for real.”
