Actor Jake Gyllenhaal has worn corrective lenses since he was six years old, and won't let his legally blind status stop him from accepting challenging roles.
Jake Gyllenhaal made his acting debut alongside Billy Crystal in the 1991 comedy 'City Slickers,' and has since earned accolades for his on-screen abilities. Gyllenhaal, 43, doesn't let his legally blind status stop him from taking opportunities when it comes to his impressive acting career. The 'Road House' star was born with a lazy eye that naturally corrected itself, and has been wearing corrective lenses since he was six years old.
In 2017, he told The Telegraph that wearing his thick, Coke-bottle-like glasses in school made him stand out more than other students. 'I was an easy target,' he said. 'And I was always a sensitive kid.' As far as his dating life goes, Gyllenhaal was hesitant to discuss his six-year relationship with French model Jeanne Cadieu, and refused to answer any questions about marriage.
