As an actor, Jake Gyllenhaal shines in a wide variety of roles. Whether as a genuine action hero, cowboy or boxer: the 42-year-old is more versatile than almost any other actor in Hollywood. But when it comes to his private life and especially his love life, Gyllenhaal likes to wrap himself in a cloak of silence. The womanizer, who is currently starring in action flick 'Ambulance' (on Sky and via WOW), is said to have been dating French model Jeanne Cadieu for several years. She has already accompanied the screen star to several film premieres and proudly posed next to his sister, filmmaker Maggie Gyllenhaal. The 'Brokeback Mountain' star couldn't understand the hype surrounding him, however, as he admitted in an interview with 'Bang': 'What's so exciting about a celebrity getting a coffee? There are so many important political issues, that should be more of a focus - be it on the internet or in magazines. To be honest, I find the whole development nowadays frightening.' For Jake, family continues to be the anchor in life. The star has a close bond with his sister in particular. It is also she with whom he would spend the last few hours in the world in an emergency. Speaking thoughtfully to 'Bang', the 'Nightcrawler' hero said: 'I would love to spend every moment with my family. But when the world comes to an end, it would be important to me that we all laugh together again. Because I laugh best with my family.'
