Jake Gyllenhaal covers VMAN magazine

He's gearing up for the premiere of his upcoming flick "Prisoners" and during promotions, Jake Gyllenhaal covered VMAN magazine's 10th anniversery issue.
While rocking a few poses for the Hedi Slimane-shot spread, the "Donnie Darko" hunk chatted about his acting career and also revealed what kind of roles he really wants.
On his approach to acting: "For a number of years, I felt physically into the character before I felt internally into the character. Sometimes it's already been written for you, sometimes it's just there and you're like, got it, perfect. But I need my way in, because I don't want to fake it. Some people can just jump. I need at least 150 yards to sprint."
On his return to the stage:
"I made a number of changes in my life. I moved from Los Angeles to New York City, really to be closer to my family, and also I made a lot of promises to myself about getting back to theater, which is what I love, and I really want to follow that. I wanted to be around that community. So I just made this sort of big move out East, which is the opposite move people usually make, and I basically took some time. I had reached a point in my life and career where I had to ask myself what I really believed in, what I wanted to leave behind. I felt like those questions warranted exploration. I believe deeply in the reality of both the light and ark side of things and everything in between. I am interested in exploring people and situations without a filter. How unbearable is it to be in front of yourself, to totally recognize yourself in another being?"
On his personal life:
"As a young actor, you come up, but you take what you can get. You fight for it. You do the best you can do and you're grateful for what you have. I still feel that way. But more so I feel like there's a ticking clock, that life is set of experiences, and I want to have experiences I feel are worthwhile. At this point in my life, I don't have a family to support, so I can make choices based on how I want to live. And the things I get from my experiences with making movies - when I think about what makes me happiest, it's those experiences."





-I.
