Jake Gyllenhaal is easily one of the most exciting actors working today. Over the past ten years or so alone, he has turned in some of the best and most memorable performances captured on film. Despite this, it’s actually rather hard to find a pattern in his roles - he’s taken on everything from zany and eccentric to dark and brooding, and just about everything in between - but it’s obvious that he gives each role his all no matter what it is. He is known to dive deeply into his roles, transforming his body and learning everything that he can about his motivations. But Gyllenhaal’s dedication might only be matched by his precise understanding of the craft of acting. From his communicative eyes, to his posture, to the most subtle of movements and body language, Gyllenhaal simply knows how to create layered and nuanced characters, and we love him for it.
Need more Gyllenhaal? We get it. Read our review of “The Sisters Brothers,” the recent release also starring Joaquin Phoenix, Riz Ahmed, and John C. Reilly, and check out our thoughts on the trailer for “Wildlife,” which opens on October 19! And since he’s not the only Gyllenhaal worth talking about, don’t miss our video on Maggie Gyllenhaal’s fierce independence.
can we talk about why he's only been nominated once for an oscar?? this is criminal
Laura Schmitt it’s because he does interesting indie films that get short releases rather than Oscar bait. He has artistic integrity.
movies like night crawler and enemy are not for everyone to understand and like. He works in movies with low budgets or in netflix originals like okja and velvet buzzsaw
Yeah Nightcrawler and Prisoners are my favourite Gyllenhaal films, and I think he should've been Oscar nominated for both.
Because he's not English! GRRR!!!! It's a crime that he has't won. Granted Oldman winning was great but Jake? Yeah, he deserved one for Stronger
You made my day.... Love from Mumbai,India.
Narrator: “watch as his eyes convey the tone of the scene” Jake Gyllenhaal: 👁👄👁
c c HAHJAHAHDHDVDBB
💀💀💀💀
Lol
I don't even know what this is but this has me rolling!
He is seriously one of the best actor out there.
Obviously the best is Adam Sandler
With so many talented performers in the world, Gyllenhaal is probably my favorite
Him and Joaquin Phoenix are my fav actors
@@nachocuello9830 😂😂
Pulkit can't agree more
Greatly contrasts with Ryan Reynolds because “HE HAS NO EYES. THIS MAN IS LITERALLY *COVERED* IN EYELINER.”
Ryan actually only has one eye, it’s really rude for u to bring that up
SpaceCowX 😂 Ryan and Jake literally give off crackhead energy
😂😂😂🤦🏾♀️
Crazy

bro his eyes so big tho. i love them
Jewish
I feel like this video is not long enough
same
Yea I felt it ended suddenly
yeaa!
SubterraneanHomesickAlien yeah cuz he hasn’t even looked at Prince of Persia
The bastard can also sing! I saw him on Broadway in Sunday in the Park with George and he was INCREDIBLE, I did not see that coming, he literally can do anything
HAHA your comment made mi laught xD He's great!
You forgot cooking
The man has the voice of an angel.
Nah, he can't. He can act and sing.

Y'all had the chance to call this "Jake Gyllenhaal GyllEnthralls Us" AND I AM ASHAMED
Very lovely expressions and thank you for leaving your feedback😇 such an amazing fan you are🌹where are you watching from.... ❤️?
It’s about damn time. My personal favorite performance of his: Nightcrawler (with Enemy as runner up). Btw, Nocturnal Animals was criminally underseen.
rhythmoriented have you seen him in Demolition? He was so underrated in that too
Lan Ashley that’s an example of a role that anyone else could have easily botched. Degree of difficulty 10/10, and he “stuck the landing”, as always.
rhythmoriented It's easily my second favorite performance from him! I'm just so glad that there are other people who knows him from that film other than me tbh
nocturnal animals is one of my favorities movies of all time
he is pretty much briliant in every movie, my favorite modern actor!
I think Gyllenhaal is so underrated. One of the best actors who has been hiding out of the radar. But I guess it's for the good. Because only few of us can savour his acting performances. Same goes for the actor Joaquin Phoenix. I am guessing he'll gather a huge fan base once the joker movie is out.
@Ramiro Garcia exactly!
I like Jake but Joaquin is on a different level.
Gyllenhaal isn't anywhere near as under the radar as Joaquin. He's always had a place in pop culture, ever since October Sky/Donnie Darko. Hes not necessarily a "leading man" (though he's played those parts), but he's hands down more famous/mainstream than Joaquin.
@Brittany Bennett What got you so defensive? No one ever said that the things you're accusing
@Brittany Bennett Sweetie, that's the thing about taste. Everyone likes different things, don't shame them for it. Imagine wholeheartedly loving a movie and someone just tells you they hate it and you have terrible taste. Wouldn't feel good, now would it? Don't be a snob and pro tip: you can like different films than the 'general audience' without cursing them out for it.
And you tell me this man still does not have an Oscar
Academy people suck
Awards are usually just a show for rich people. They don't reward hard work and talent. Jake Gyllenhaal is a great actor, as well as many others who probably deserve awards, but alas, it is not us who give said awards.
Same thing with Angela Bassett like HOW!!!
But can we talk about how well fandor does their research like damn impressive hats off
Chris Mercado true, love their research and presenting skills
yee haw
Also how fandor observations to each actor and how they chose to express the characters/roles they play can be extremely helpful and interesting
Someone needs to give Jake Gyllenhaal's eyes an Oscar 😂
His eyes needs a Oscar
“In the first act, his character is a babe in the woods” Me : *sobbing* a babe in the woods
Very lovely expressions and thank you for leaving your feedback😇 such an amazing fan you are🌹where are you watching from.... ❤️?
I would love to see a movie with jake, Tom hardy, Joaquin Phoenix, and Andrew Lincoln
Jake and Joaquin were just in a western called The Sisters Brothers together. Check it out if you haven't heard of it
Haha that would be fucking awesome, including Jack Nicholson :D
😍
I like that Gyllenhaal chooses his roles not to become a more popular actor but based on his craft and what new characaters he's interested in playing. Fantastic actor!!

Coming from a 19 year old man, i can’t even begin to express how beautiful of a man he is. Such attractive and captivating eyes, thick and luscious eyebrows, perfect hair..... I’m not usually overly obsessed with how other people look, certainly not men considering I’m a straight guy, but man.... there’s something about Jake Gyllenhaal, such a perfect look. And as someone who has struggled alot, and continue to struggle with my appearance, boy do I wish I could look like Jake.... he literally has the perfect face.
not getting many straight vibes from this post

Is it bad I yelled “YEEEEEEES” and clicked as soon as i saw this?
Sydney Lynne same
Sydney Lynne bruh me too. I'm stupidly in love with Gyllenhaal haha
Wow, you coulda just @ me
No. What’s bad is that you lied about yelling yes for meaningless likes in the comment section.
Lars Ronning lol chill. (I rly did yell yes though)
man, he literally chooses the BEST films to act in. When I see his name in a film, i know i'm gonna enjoy it. No effects, no superhero shit. Original written films man. Just finished watching stronger and nocturnal animals. 10/10 for both.
No superheroes? What about Spiderman Far from Home? Hope he had a very good reason to accept the role.
"why we love Jake Gyllenhaal" well, he stole my heart so......

Honestly - is there anyone that dislikes Jake Gyllenhaal? I don't think I've ever met someone who does.
Yes Taylor Swift does 🤭🤭
@@andrealvarado3711 bitch swift
@@andrealvarado3711 well fuck taylor swift then.
My mother does
I think Peter Parker hates him now
He has a really contagious smile too, at least for me. Like idk man he starts smiling and suddenly I'm grinning like an idiot
I think Jake makes every movie he's in that much better. I've never heard of him until Spider-Man: Far From Home, but he is now my favorite actor. I would not have enjoyed the movie as much as I did if it weren't for his portrayal of Mysterio.
Unpopular opinion, i think he outshined Tom Holland. Mysterio and Quentin Beck was like two different real person
@@aminsiagian364 I agree
No one: Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler: (O_O)
He is the only person who has the guts to try different roles and takes creative, out-of-the-box, off-beat roles. Donnie-Darko, Enemy, Night Crawler, Source Code. He appreciates psychological thriller movies.
this dude can talk about jake gyllenhaal's eyes for 5 minutes and honestly same
Classique gentlemen, but very nice detective sergeant
The most underrated actor working in Hollywood today.

Not only is he a hella good actor, he probably the most entertaining human being ever.

His interviews where he’s talking about his acting gave me a new perspective on the whole thing. I’ve watched more movies in the past week than I have in the past 10 years…I missed out on a lot of great Jake movies…I can’t wait for more
He is my favourite. And he really communicate through his eyes
I never really understood why people disliked him, he is a pretty good actor from the movies I've seen him in. He doesn't overreact, but instead provides the right amount of emotion and if needed a lack of emotion.
Gyllenhaal does have very beautiful eyes.
In my top 5 fav actors. Truly one of the greatest
@@mhulane9187 Daniel day lewis. Joaquin phoenix. Philip Hoffman. Christian bale.❤

Nightcrawler is one movie that does his talent justice. Impeccable performance
His eyes are amazing
He's a very great actor. He gives his all into acting he deserves alot of awards for them.
hes one of my favourites out there. Glad he does movies that have actual meaning and can be watched more than once.
You're so on point about his eyes and his subtle gestures. Jake is a really great actor. Thanks.

in one of his interview, Jake said that the eye twitching in Prisoners present that Loki was having too many things to process in his head, which is something not described in the script. He added it himself to make the character more real.
Him and Gosling seriously deserve to win an Oscar each, though I think any award they get would just feel like a consolidation for not awarding many brilliant performances.
Jake Gyllenhaal-God gifted actor
Tom Hanks is better
80's Nostalgia Guy No.
Singer and dancer, too. He's done Off-Broadway and Broadway shows.
He's my top 1 ❤
Agreed! Jake's eyes is so blue it's very beautiful and very expressive, like i can laughed just looking at his eyes when he make a joke, i can cry, angry and anything that he does, we can see it all through his eyes✨
When I was in tech school, a bunch of guys had a Jake Gyllenhall movie night one weekend in the rec room
Thank you so much for your Divine and mind blowing comments. Your word,👍 supports and unending encouragement as a fan to me has kept me up and records breaking 🤗, where are you watching from.......💖
He's a phenomenal actor, I think he's underrated, he elevates every film he's in I think Lou Bloom, Jack twist, detective Loki and morf vandewolt were works of genius
October sky,Donnie darko, Brokeback mountain,Jarhead sourcecode,End of a watch,Zodiac, Enemy,Prisioners,Demolition, Brothers,Stronger,southpaw,Wildlife and freaking Nightcrawler for which how he got snubbed is beyond my understanding He is just 38 and has such an impressive resume and is still underrated and love by almost all true movie lovers hope he gets recognized and wins an oscar someday ✌
He deserves a Tony award, too. So versatile...
his performance in okja was one i just didn't expect, brilliant!
Yes it is brilliant...I didnt expect that
U don't expect brilliance from Jake? Damn it's weird
he's hot, you can say he's hot.
Daniel Day-Lewis, Joquain Phoeonix, Jake Gyllenhaal, Christian Bale, and Leo Dicaprio are the best actors of this generation
Cillian Murphy Is amazing too
long story short, we got a bunch of great actors in our generation, let's appreciate it.
David James-Cameron Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, Gary Oldman and Guy Pearce too
+ Damian Lewis
Matthew McConaughey👌
I think at the moment. Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the best actors in the industry. I think at least one of Zodiac, Prisoners, Nightcrawler and Enemy should have won him an Oscar. The man is that good
Wilpaulii and Nocturnal animal. Man, he was really good in that movie.
.....and the academy still sleeps on him. GIVE THIS MAN AN AWARD!!!!
I really don't get how he's so good yet so underrated!
Zodiac and Prisoners are some of my favorite movies
I mainly love and admire how Jake is like an entirely different person in every single film he's been in. That's how acting should really be like.
Very lovely expressions and thank you for leaving your feedback😇 such an amazing fan you are🌹where are you watching from.....?
He’s been my favourite actor for many years, his diversity, intensity and the way he goes deep into his characters just enthrals me.
I love Jake in every single movie, what a great fantastic actor!!!
Very lovely expressions and thank you for leaving your feedback😇 such an amazing fan you are🌹where are you watching from ❤️❤️?
It's kinda sad that he is playing Mysterio tho. He is a highly capable actor that can carry heavier roles, that MCU could offer. Hopefully, this Mysterio does not end up being a one-off eccentric villain.
he always picks great roles, and i don’t think he would’ve taken spiderman if he didn’t think it was good so here’s hoping it will be
That is exactly what I hate about Marvel Studios. So much great potential wasted. Michael Keaton was great--I am sure he will return and again. IF he doesn't die. That guy from big Lebowski in iron-man, actress from black Swan in thor, Sam Rockwell in iron man 2, Michael Douglas in Ant man, jude Law in captain marvel, Rebecca Hall in iron man 3, Irish Elba.. So many actors wasted in my opinion.
Sinister 6 is always a possibility
@@crossroadsc-1378 they were wasted sure, but that was almost 10 years ago. Now let's talk about, Josh Brolin, Kurt Russell, Cate Blanchett, etc. They don't seem wasted to me.
MCU always cast heavy hitter actors for their villain roles though. Their very good at casting the right actors to make sure the villains are three dimensional rather than just hero fodder.
we love him coz he's a great actor who takes his job seriously. he will win an oscar soon for sure
I see Jake Gyllenhaal, I click
His gorgeous, I love this man. So handsome actor.
The best actor of the decade! His performance in Nightcrawler is the best since DDL in There Will Be Blood!
I fell in love with his acting ever since I saw Donnie Darko. To be honest he's an underrated actor compared to many out there, but he's the one who deserves an Oscar. Nocturnal animals, Prisoner, Okja, Nightcrawler, he's outstanding in all of this films.
His performance in prisoners was really impressed me, after then I was just catched up all of his movies, there's so so amazing, he is one of my top 5 actors and always..
My favorite actor right now. He is so versatile, and kills every role he’s in.
He’s incredible
He’s my personal favorite actor, he sells the hell out of any role he does. Take something that isn’t as serious a role even, like Mysterio in Spiderman: FFH. I dare you to find a more convincing display of emotion among the MCU than his enraged scream to fire all the drones near the end of that film. This is to say nothing of more serious roles like Bloom in Nightcrawler, etc. I continue to look forward to what the future will bring from him same as I always have since I first became aware of him.
Keanu Reeves is breathtaking Jake Gyllenhaal is *enthralling*
Very lovely expressions and thank you for leaving your feedback😇 such an amazing fan you are🌹where are you watching from.....❤️?
As the years pass by, he'll become what one only dreams of- LEGEND! Give him 5-10 years more as his movie selection is unique and unconventional yet interesting and heavily relies on his performance.
The eye twitch in prisoners is something I noticed as well. Very interesting.
Gyllenhaal is my favourite actor ever. He sold me in Brokeback Mountain (which is still such an amazing movie and amazing performance from him) and I still love every performance of his.

After the Maggie Gylenhaal video, I figured this was coming
Mary Beth Robertson She's great too! But I like her brother a tad bit more lol

Joaquin and gyllenhaal are definitely two of the best actors right now
Absolutely 💯
The eyes are the window to the soul
I really like his choice of characters and films. He is one of those actors that I have full confidence in whatever role he portrays. Hope to see more of him❤️
Jake Gyllenhaal & Joaquin & Phoenix & Ethan Hawke .. Three of the *very top bests* we currently have

Nightcrawler is my fav Gyllenhaal!
That little eye twitch in prisoners was so good
A letter of love ❤️
he is just so captivating and mesmerizing. I love him.
Actually one of my favorite actor, he's amazing.
by far my favorite actor. a true pleasure to watch.
The fact that he didn’t even get nominated for nightcrawler is criminal
Liked before even watching. I've wanted this video for so long, he's my favourite actor.
He's always been my #1 actor and I've always loved him. I'm 100% happy with all the love hes getting
Favourite actor!!
This is the best video about Jake Gyllenhaal. Wow. You really said everything I wanted to say about his acting but I couldn't find the words.
I love the emotional use Of his voice in Stronger
great video, not much to add. I have yet to see a bad jake g performance. he is incredibly great and elevates every movie he is in
you wont see that xd
Brokeback Mountain, the greatest love story in American Cinematic history stands out atop Jakes genious. Most loved actor.
Feel like this video doesn't talk enough about his eyebrow and forehead movement. Gyllenhall and Joaquin Pheonix are absolute masters of it, almost the essence to their expressiveness.
Yes, two of the finest actors, ever.
that, and he’s attractive. very much so lmao
I would watch anything with Jake Gyllenhaal in it.. Not just he is damn godd looking but he is also Damm good actor and very underrated.
Love this channel so much. Positivity like this is so rare on the internet.
Perfectly put, why he's such a good actor.
