Jake Gyllenhaal on gay rumors: "It's a huge compliment"

On an episode of Inside the Actors Studio set to air at 8 pm on September 19, Jake Gyllenhaal addresses rumors that he's gay, and says he misses Heath Ledger every day.

Bravo writes:

"Heath and I knew each other for years before that because we had both auditioned for Moulin Rouge together," Gyllenhaal says. After experiencing Ledger's brash, loose sense of humor in person, "I remember thinking, 'I like this guy.' He's just like, super lovable," Gyllenhaal recalls. He later admits Ledger's death hit him extremely hard: "It felt like losing a family member, and it still does to this day."

Gyllenhaal also says that the gay rumors that came following Brokeback never bothered him. In fact, "It's a huge compliment," he says.

And when it comes to what does turn him on, Jake is pretty direct: "Tits and ass."

Jake Gyllenhaal’s episode of Inside the Actor’s Studio airs Thursday September 19 on Bravo.
