Jake Gyllenhaal is one of Hollywood’s finest. Having made his debut as a child actor, he has been nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role for his performances in Nightcrawler (2014) and Nocturnal Animals (2016). He’s also an ultimate prankster.
Due to his behavior, many assume that the unnamed co-star who was horrible to actress Rebecca Ferguson on set was him. However, there’s an instance that is making people change their minds about the fact that the Brokeback Mountain star could have upset Ferguson.
Rebecca Ferguson Had A Hard Time Due To Her “Idiot Co-star”
Dune: Part Two actress Rebecca Ferguson caused a stir on social media with what she revealed on the Reign With Josh Smith podcast. The actress candidly spoke about her initial days as an actor.
Ferguson said one particular co-star made her cry by being incredibly rude and outright disrespectful. She said on the podcast (via Variety):
“I did a film with an absolute idiot of a co-star and this human being was being so insecure and angry because this person couldn’t get the scenes out. And I think I was so vulnerable and uncomfortable that I got screamed at and I would cry walking off set.”
Without revealing the actor’s name and the movie, Ferguson told how it took her a lot of time and courage to stand up for herself. But upon hearing this, the internet elves got to work to figure out who made Ferguson cry.
Despite the lack of evidence, the consensus seems to be it’s her Life co-star Jake Gyllenhaal. The matter is a hot topic on social media spaces at the moment.
Rebecca Ferguson and Jake Gyllenhaal Pranked A German Interviewer
Whether Jake Gyllenhaal was the person who made Rebecca Ferguson cry is a big question among netizens. Many feel strongly that it is indeed Gyllenhaal. But some don’t. And to prove their point, some have dug out old interviews of the celebrities in which they seem friendly.
In one particular interview (via Joko and Klaas on YouTube), Ferguson and Gyllenhaal got on the same team and pranked their German interviewer together. The prank was brutal and made the interviewer exceedingly uncomfortable.
Upon watching the video, fans are convinced that the two of them were good together while doing press for the film. Such natural chemistry for chaos probably wouldn’t be possible if they were on bad terms.
Fans Muse Jake Gyllenhaal Is Not The One Who Made Rebecca Ferguson Cry
The support for Gyllenhaal on the matter is in no way underwhelming. Some argued that there is no way to know for sure. Some even said that the actors share too great a bond for them to be so hurtful towards each other. Here are things people have said:
Don't know what interviews you saw but the interviews available on you tube showing Jake Gyllenhaal & Rebecca Ferguson talking about working together on Life she seems very friendly,laughing and joking with him.

Doesn’t she say this happened when she was starting acting or smt? Early days basically.
Why do ppl assume she worked with big name actors from the get go?

Delete this irresponsible post, for crying out loud, you are literally accusing someone with ZERO evidence.
Imagine if that were you being accused.
Fucks sake, if she had any actual integrity she'd name the person and be done with it, all this cloak & dagger shite is bullshit.
