- Jake Gyllenhaal joins Jian to discuss his intense and frightening role in "Nightcrawler", a noir thriller about an ambulance-chasing crime photographer. The Oscar-nominated actor plays Lou Bloom, a wild-eyed drifter and petty thief who becomes a freelance cameraman specializing in gruesome footage. Gyllenhaal reflects on privacy and voyeurism; shares how he got into the head of his sociopathic character; and why he's drawn to challenging and often darker roles.

"Sarcasm comes later; I have to plant my feet firmly in earnestness at this moment."
Jesus this guy speaks like a novel
Zachary Andrews The part about planting his feet in earnestness was a quote from Nightcrawler.
He should be an author, novelist, writer, whatever...
Underrated performance. He should have been nominated for an Oscar.
+sashaqueenie The fact that he wasn't shows just how bullshit the academy awards really are
sashaqueenie nominated! he shouldve won :)
I could listen to jake all day. I feel so much more grounded and calm after listening to him haha. It rubs off,, his kind of mature calm sense of self. He seems like such a great person. He seems so deep and intelligent and also kind of sad. He seems like a person I just want to give a great big hug :)
19:00 when he's talking about his family, its like he was choking up or his voice was cracking....sooo cute and hot that family means so much to him and films.
MY HEART!
I saw Nightcrawler last night. It was a masterpiece- Gyllenhaal truly mastered this film. Great job
Jake Gyllenhaal should have been nominated for and won an Oscar for this character. As always, Gyllenhaal go's balls out for this role just like all the others. He is fearless, brings it every time!! Guaranteed to win an Academy Award in the future.
You can see he was training for Southpaw here.
He's fantastic, he truly appreciates the art of cinema, which is something many actors seem to don't care about, so it's great to hear him being so passionate about it. He had some great great films and I'm really looking forward to Nightcrawler
Jake is such an intensely intelligent, talented, hard working actor, and a beautiful person inside & out. He's a true artist. I don't think this interviewer could really handle him..lol..Jake kept having to pull it back when I just wanted him to talk more. He's a fascinating person....
He's definitely the best actor of the generation
Based on the transition between films Jake has adapted, I can say he is an excellent actor. There is something odd about watching Jarhead and then watching Nightcrawler; very underestimated actor
no but the thing is, the character being a sociopath/psychopath is NOT the point. This is why Jake never describes Lou as such in any other interviews, it wasn't his first approach, neither was it Denis Villeneuve's idea of the character. As he says, this movie is a success story. Lou Bloom is a metaphor, he is the embodiement of humans' craving for accomplishment in a society that not only pushes them to get around the rules to achieve success, but also pushes them to put their humanity, their morals aside in order to do so. Lou Bloom is the production of this society : he's a bone-chilling, grotesquely dehumanized character who learned to adapt and grow in the harsh and paradoxically wild environment that is the city, the symbol of human's suposedly superiority to nature.
People have to give Jake some credit, the guy knows what he's doing. Actually, it's quite rare to see actors who put so much thought and details into the process of creating a character, just watch his interviews about Detective Loki in Prisoners.
You know that Denis Villeneuve didn't direct this movie, right?
Dan Gilroy directed Nightcrawler
YES!! My friends and I LAUGED OUT LOUD several times and roared with astonishment at the brilliant performances. GREAT GREAT FILM!
I love jake gyllenhal in nightcrawler! he plays creepy, ostracized characters really well. Loved him in Donnie Darko as well
Donny Darko, Nightcrawler, October sky, Enemy, Southpaw, Source code, Demolition, Nocturnal Animals, Bubble Boy all diverse range of characters...all great performances
@@Bryan23201 how do u say bubble boy is good with a straight face 😅
@@kellykelpp fair enough, "good" might not be the best choice of words, I only meant it can be kinda endearing to me sometimes seeing capable, well established actors portraying silly, goofball type roles, or participating in zaney like projects in general, nive to know they arent taking themselves to seriously all the time, more often then not he's been involved in fairly (if not significantly dark) films so its nice to see him branch out even if it is in something like bubble boy is all i was tryna say
He comes across as such an intelligent and fun guy.
This man is a genius. Favorite actor. By far.
So glad he's picking risky and interesting roles now, have a lot of respect for his acting.
Drinking game. Drink every time Jake says "you know"
Someone said in a comment section for one of the trailers that this guy would make a great Joker. I agree.
shut the fuck up
vidv Thanks man. You're awesome. Keep up the good work,
vidv
Are you heated?
Yea he got that crazy smile in Nightcrawler.
I agree with you gipro1. But I still want to see Adrian Brody as The Joker.
Light is not light without darkness and the idea that Jake Gyllenhaal 'is not afraid' of that darkness is what makes him brilliant. Life is too short, we see everywhere how we need to 'embrace the light' and I am of the opinion that it is the same coin, opposite sides; dark and light. BRILLIANT!!! It is sooo great to watch movie that is made by someone who ventures into that darkness.
It is all about balance, the one can't exist without the other.
I completely agree. No matter if a person acknowledges the dark or not, the darkness will always exist, and will cease to be a problem without figuring out how to do the delicate dance of balance between light & dark! Rea de Miranda
I wish you guys could include the amazing intros Jian does
Agreed! In the Hollywood celebrity interviews Jian does, they're so often pleasantly surprised by the intro's Jian does for them.
great movie, the character is written so deeply. i found myself with an uncomfortable laugh out loud while saying OMG he is crazy, while shaking my head back and forth, it's a reaction i never had with a movie before, so often. psychopath came to mind, through out, but jake doesn't use the word. surprised. brilliant movie. how did they make this so cheap and fast, incredible. they captured the character deeply and intelligently. very dark, cool movie. loved his coyote references. people forget we're part of the animal kingdom. loved it.
notice how big Jake's arms are, how ripped he is. This interview was probably only months after he finishing shooting Southpaw, so he still has a lot of the muscle. unreal forehand muscle.
Jake is such a great conversationalist. Damn, I wanna have coffee with him!!
When uploading your videos Gian, increase the volume. I've noticed even on other computers, max volume is still very hard to hear. Just a suggestion :)
he DOES NOT look like 33! WOW!
what do you mean? older, younger?
Yes. He look younger 😃
taniaaaa much younger, since he shaved that gross beard off haha
I think he looks. I mean my brother is 34 and he looks like Jake
(I mean young)
dude looks like a 27 y/o kid
The interviewer is annyoing af and keeps interrupting Jake in the middle of the sentence...Dude, I wanna hear what he has to say!
respect. dude tried to break this actor but he stayed rooted. people will always spend money on quality
I feel like it's kind of a shame how Jake Gyllenhaal really has to dance around the morality aspect of all these questions, because he's clearly aware of how interviewers will manipulate what he says to get a better headline/scoop.
Interesting interview ! Thanks Jian !
Wahh,that last question got him!
I love you Jake & wish you all the best..hope you find someone who can understand & love you even though I wish it would be me! :)
What a great interview.
There's Jake! Great actor, producer, writer, movies/Broadway-- no doubt, Emmy & Gramy Award winning cadidate prospect for Enemy and Night Crawlers. #MrDown2EarthHimself #MagnaCumLaude
Extremely versatile!
Saw this movie right when it came out and he did phenomenal in his role!
Jake Gyllenhaal is an awesome actor. I like him. :)
Nightcrawler and Whiplash are the only two things I took with with me from 2014. The rest I left-behind
Same! And gone girl
someone else needs to conduct this interview. this dude can't even follow what he's saying.
jake gyllenhaal is just the best
I was totally drawn into this film and forgot your spoiler actually....
This should be the year of The Imitation Game. It deserves Oscars for all of it's 8 nominations. It almost broke my heart to have to choose Benedict over Jake but the content of The Imitation Game is very important for everyone to know. It is a heretofore lost part of history and it is a beautifully crafted film.
This movie was amazing he makes the movie just by his role
Jake Gyllenhaal redefining the meaning of what a real "crazy person" is.
Brilliant Lad, brilliant interview :)
His character in this movie is a flawless Psycho.
Bruningable more of a sociopath
I can't get over "Nocturnal Animals" too date
Cool guy. What a lovely interview. Can't wait for the movie
lol! True! I agree with the part about acting since coming out of the womb. lol! Why? William Shakespeare's quote "All the World's a Stage." In my personal opinion very few people are truly 100% authentic when they are among society. Either at work, home or abroad in the world most people keep some aspects of thier genuine personality under cover. Mostly because people in general want to feel validated, accepted, needed, respected etc...
So, If we feel that our one of a kind/genuine personality is not one that will fulfill our inherent needs among society then, much like a chameleon in its environment adjust its skin color for protection from predators, people adjust the face/personality they show other people to feel safe/protect thier ego or sense of self worth maybe. We play a role which we feel will garner the things we have longed for such as that old elusive goal of perpetual happiness. :) Whether that means material, physical, emotional or all of the above. Then again, my interpretation of his words could be a projection of my own view on life. Who knows. lol! Or maybe just maybe I am over thinking it and reading too much into Mr Shakespeare's writing. And no people I was NOT high when I wrote this! :) lol!!
William Shakespeare's quote.
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
jian is a bit of a nightcrawler too
this interview was great.
Jake Gyllenhaal is fucking awesome
Jake Gyllenhaal is very much true 4 what he said that why I love his work in the movie he a wonderful fantastic sweet man :-)
00:50 - You have to make the money to buy a ticket to fly back to Toronto.....anyone? any takers? Anybody get it?.....ah never mind
That is'nt really in movie? It was just trailer.
SOUPRUN01 it was in the beginning of the movie
to win the lottery you have to make the money to buy the ticket ?
Abe Ruiz Not as many times as in the trailer. I know he said it maybe twice.
True.
Sooo many times in this interview I've been frustrated because Jake was saying something interesting and the interviewer led him in a completely different direction. Jake speaks like a novel (as another commenter said) and he tends to share deep, intense thoughts, so this pains me. Just let the man talk, ffs. The DP/30 interview is miles better than this.
best movie I've seen this year
he's so intelligent. and attractive. and talented. he's just perfect
sincerely wish we got more information on the characer of Lou Bloom, but oh well.
Does anyone else notice that the interviewer blinks about 29 times after each word he says?
He made mentioned of success. People strive in different ways how to achieve success and in some point moral choices are always at stake. Lou Bloom personifies a lot of majority who had become successful no matter what it cost. This is real and it is happening. That is why success according to him differs in our own perspective.
After watching this, I wonder what made him say yes to Spider-Man. He’s incredible in it, but just what he was saying about choosing roles in instincts
the way he looks here reminds me of bradley cooper in silver linings ,,, anyone feeling the same way:p?
best movie ever
my favorite actor period ..................................... bruh
This film perfectly characterizes the Precariat.
This short haircut suits him sooo much! I just can't take my eyes of him 🤩
He was probs doing Southpaw here he has the Billy Hope look here
gearing up for Southpaw here
Demolition hehe :) southpaw was so good!
+Roshan Kshetri demolition was filmed after southpaw and this (nightcrawler) is right before southpaw in 2014
+Alexia Singh hehe i know, i meant to say that i was gearing up for Demolition 😁
he has the boxer body here and that chain... god he is so sexy 😍😍😍
p.s. I don't dislike the interviewer, I just think there wasn't chemistry and comunication between them, that probably exshausted Jake and he really struggled at the end. That was a personal, let alone exsistential question and Jake is always honest and bold, he doesn't reply with the hollywood clichet answers.
more Jian pls
Ugh. No.
Living among coyotes is a fact of life in Los Angeles
jake seems so defensive when jake accuses jian of calling jake a creep. wow..
you know?
Damn he threw a spoiler at us12:00! :O :O
...YOU KNOW...
Crevette i love it when Jake says that.
Billy Hope
he became Lou Bloom
please what is a "chaodee" ? at around 5:20. I can't speak or understand english perfectly, and i don't understand what this is :/
Buddha Mollusque 4:35
A coyote is an animal
Grace Samuel hooo he said coyote! okay thanks, i did not understand that at all :) Thank you very much
I LOVE HIM SO FUCKING MUCH SO GOD DAMN BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED.
jake should find him creepy ahahahaha
LOL about the creepy part now that we know about Jian.
i've lived in la my entire life and i could tell you that i've only seen a coyote roaming the streets like ONCE haha
How many time does he say "Ya know" in this interview?
11:55 Spoiler Alert!
15:00
Love me some Jake :p
💥Sagittarius♐
The coyote seems tired, a bit sleepy, and so “words don’t come easy”
There is something aristocratic about him
a) he confessed he's in the illuminati clique (understanding, this world blablabla)
b) he said 'you know' like a million times, it even infected the host closer to the end...
c) I'll watch each and every movie with Jake, heaven is my witness
Man, a little strange with all the "creep" and "creepy" jokes in hindsight. Good interview though.
Исходный кот-самое классное кино из тех Котор, мы теперь знаем этого актёра. Спасибо, и всё-таки лётчиком был, как он оказался в поезде, просто заснул как-то, оказался в поезде, вот с этого начиналось и как именно произошёл взрыв, как сошёл поезд. И всё время об этом, об этом весь фильм был и как его опрашивали там, когда он лежал сом коконе. Там была женщина которая с ним общалась на видео интересное кино очень
I don't think he liked the creepy comment. what was with the jewish thing?
2:27 Um...
Donny darko
omg :D
Me, Me, me, me, me.
If anyone wants to see an interview about thinking about other people, then watch heidi baker.
The whole point of an interview is to learn more about the person being interviewed...its supposed to be "me me me".

I'd like to think if you're seeing me you're having the worst day of your life
America, we gave you Justin Beiber. Be fair and give us Jake Gyllenhaal in return. We don't care how long it would take but please, we beg you.
We never asked for JB. Stay the hell away from our JG.
Hate hearing Jians voice and he thinks he is so all that and ruining the movie with spoiler comments. Fucking so glad he is finished on air and will be charged and will be of to Jail for Sexual Assault on a grand scale with probably 30 or more women sexually assualted. I would like to see this Creep registered indefinitely as a Sex Offender. Jian is Creeper than even the character in the movie, I am assuming as I have not seen the movie yet. what a jerk off you are Jain!
C'mon Gian is a great interviewer one of the best ever in my opinion. Whatever these allegations are we can only speculate to what the real truth is so I will not rush to judgement. I like his voice it's very nice and soothing.
i hear ya! after the first few pics of his face during all this crap hes about to get nailed for i was sick of looking at him. dude wasnt that good and hes getting more attention then he deserves..i know its a serious issue but still. Moxy Fruvious also sucked! haha
You do realize that many people have now come forward including his girl friend right? They have video and text messages proving what a fraud he is.
SPOILERS IN THE INTERVIEW AND COMMENTS
Not fucking cool, I was looking forward to this
you will still love it. so much happens that wasn't mentioned here. you will be on the edge of your seat!
I love Jake sooo much! I would like to hug and kiss him 🫠😩
He has everything except the laugh of Joker
