- Hi, I'm Jake Gyllenhaal,
and I am going to be answering some fan questions
while playing with puppies.
(upbeat music)
I got the, I got the.
Guys, I'm trying to answer a question, okay?
I got a call from John Watts, the director,
and he was like, "Hey, we're doing
"the next Spider-Man movie."
He just wanted, hi.
What's going on?
Huh.
The sweater's not a good thing for your, oh, there you go.
I got a call from. (laughs)
Yeah, and he just asked me,
"Oh, do you want to play Mysterio?"
And I was like, "What are you gonna do with him?"
And it was really cool, um.
It's a really cool, um.
Yeah.
(upbeat music)
I remember Tom and I not being able to hold, stop laugh,
we couldn't stop laughing when we first shake hands
in the first scene where our characters meet.
And he was just like, constantly,
every time I would come in and be like, "Hey, how are you?
"I'm Quentin."
He would just start laughing.
He couldn't stop, and so we both,
it was 40 takes, we couldn't get it.
In the movie, Sean Watts uses a millisecond of the shot
because he couldn't get, he couldn't get anything usable.
This sweater is destroyed, it's done.
Or it's the new rage.
Puppy-ripped sweater.
(upbeat music)
What show would we do, you guys?
(puppy whimpering)
Hi guys!
(laughs)
Something with dancing so he can do a lot of the dancing,
and I can just watch him do cool dancing.
Right, you guys?
These puppies remind me of Tom Holland.
(upbeat music)
If you're talking about who is the biggest asshole,
it would be Deadpool.
He'd win that fight.
That's basically the only fight there is, isn't there?
This sweater is destroyed.
Destroyed.
I'mma send it to Ryan Reynolds,
and first, you two little guys
are gonna pee and poop all over it.
And then we're gonna send it to my friend Ryan.
(upbeat music)
I'd like to see her take on Mysterio.
I'd be kind of cool.
She'd probably rock it.
And then I'd be like, "Should've done that."
(upbeat music)
Just listen.
Just shut up and listen.
That's the best advice I've ever gotten.
(upbeat music)
I played Jeff Bowman,
who survived the Marathon Boston bombings,
and he lost both of his legs in the process.
And his story I got to tell, and he's become a friend
and that really changed my life.
Working with him and just trying to even recreate his story
and understand how he felt and the courage that it took
to survive what he survived, changed my life,
and has changed me as a actor and also as an individual.
(upbeat music)
I don't watch my movies on repeat every night.
Someone once said that I frame,
I have framed posters of myself.
It was the literally, the most absurd thing I've ever heard.
I mean, I really love the process of making movies,
and if I'm in them and I'm producing them, maybe, like,
and part of that post-production process, I love it.
And I can be very objective.
Sometimes, things come on TV and I'm like,
"Oh, you're pretty good in that scene."
But that's pretty much it.
(upbeat music)
I think it's really cool.
It's a movie about adolescence, you know.
It's a movie about all the difficulties of growing up,
and growing into this world.
That's so confusing and beautiful,
but destructive and complicated and all those things, and.
What are you doing? (laughs)
I understand there's sort of a cult following to it
because I think
there are not a lot of movies about adolescents
that go into like, the mindset of it,
and all the complications of it, and so.
Um. (puppy whimpers)
I know.
I don't know if,
I actually don't know if he dies at the end, I'm not sure.
Do you guys know what "Donnie Darko" is about?
(upbeat music)
Was that a yes?
(upbeat music)
I did this movie a long time ago called "Moonlight Mile"
and it was with Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon
and Holly Hunter and Dabney Coleman,
and just these incredible, just behemoths,
actors of their time, and of, they're just legends.
Just like, four, five legends of stage and screen.
And the knowledge that was being thrown at me constantly,
I only took about 1/100 of what I could have.
So, I wish I could go back
and learn even more from those actors and from that process.
It was like, it was the coolest.
(upbeat music)
Who cares about theater or movies?
We have puppies.
The cool thing about doing theater
is that you're there at the same place every night,
and you get to go do it at exactly the same time,
and there's always an audience there,
and they're kind of waiting,
and the excitement is like, really palpable and really cool.
And I actually will bring my dog to a theater,
which is really cool.
Spends like, a lot of time backstage.
He's a real theater dog.
Thank you to Pacific Pups Rescue
for providing these amazing little souls
for me to hang out with, and to smell.
And you guys are really sweet and yeah.
By the way, I think I just ate dog food.
They must have just eaten
'cause I think I just ate dog food.
