Jake Gyllenhaal’s Odd Actions Derail Million-Dollar Film Production

Director Thomas Bidegain spilled the beans in an interview with Technikart (World of Reel), revealing how Gyllenhaal’s antics derailed the production.

Originally based on Isabelle Autissier’s novel, the film was set to be a survival tale shot in Iceland. But Gyllenhaal’s strange demands, like wanting the script rewritten and odd stunts, like slapping a fish on a boat scene, left the crew scratching their heads.

His peculiar behavior, including stripping down and diving into freezing waters, remarked, “When I see the sea, I swim in the sea.” Gyllenhaal’s concerns about COVID-19, like insisting set builders sleep in cars, only added fuel to the fire.

Eventually, he walked away from the project, leaving Kirby and the team scrambling. However, Bidegain managed to salvage the script, reworking it into a French version called Suddenly Alone with new leads.

However, it’s worth noting that Gyllenhaal’s forthcoming film, Road House, is eagerly anticipated, and he put in considerable effort for the film, unlike the situation with Suddenly.

And he has been hitting the gym hard to get that perfect physique for the role. We all know Gyllenhaal’s no stranger to fitness, he’s known for those jaw-dropping transformations in his movies. So, it’s no surprise he’s back at it for Road House.

His workout routine? It’s tough to focus on getting strong, agile, and building up that endurance. It might sound crazy trying to bulk up while staying nimble, but Gyllenhaal’s making it work. He’s showing up to weigh-ins looking like he stepped right out of the Octagon.

As per the Medium, he’s putting in the time, probably sweating it out for hours every day, six or even seven days a week. He’s likely got a fitness guru by his side, fine-tuning every move.
