Read the full interview with Jake Gyllenhaal from the June 2020 issue now.
“I can already see this in print,” teases Jake Gyllenhaal. With a wide, puppyish grin on his face, he is carrying two paper cups of scalding hot water and a box of PG Tips, tucked under his arm, from the set of hisshoot to his interview. And while I hate to be a predictable reporter… well, here we are. It’s just such an unlikely scene – the Hollywood star making a DIY cuppa in a capacious photo studio in midtown Manhattan.
Let me tell you, sitting on a banquette side-by-side with Jake in the dazzling sunlight, discussing whether I should play an art critic called Blair in Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine’s– in which he was due to star at London’s Savoy Theatre this June until the pandemic hit – is a surreal treat. Born and raised in Los Angeles, he enjoyed something of a gilded early life as part of a liberal show-business family. His parents – director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner – counted the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis and the late Paul Newman as close friends . His mother is “deeply feminist”, and Jake came of age “in a world with my mother hosting dinners at home with feminist groups and very powerful women in politics and Hollywood”.
