Jake Gyllenhaal proposes Anne Hathaway for Glee and Anne's worry for Jake

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway appear to have their eyes on Glee, which, apparently, is not a delicious cocktail concocted from vodka and cranberry juice. 'Says Jake, "She's probably gonna be on 'Glee' first, she's hugely musical and totally out there—" "But all those things apply to you," Anne interrupts. "But it terrifies me," Jake continues, "and she's so confident in this way. So I'm gonna give that to her first."'

Jake is featured in USA Today er today and it comes accompanied by a new clip from Love and Other Drugs. You can watch that here. As for the interview itself 'The first thing (Zwick) said to me was, 'I've seen you be vulnerable in movies, but can you not be vulnerable?' I was like, 'Yeah! I can not be vulnerable!' That was a big thing," Gyllenhaal says. "Real actors respond to someone saying, 'Trust your instinct.'"


'Avoiding cliché was key for Hathaway, 28. "We were sitting there doing the scene, and we just started to improv. I was asking him if he was OK and if he wanted a glass of water and he did, and I tried to rub his shoulders and that's when he's like, 'Don't touch me!' And I was like, 'All right!' And that made it into the movie, his reaction and my yelp and the whole thing."'

'"It's sexy, but in a really good way," Gyllenhaal says. "When two people are in love, they're comfortable with each other — naked physically, literally and figuratively — and we wanted to portray that." Hathaway says that figuring out how they were going to do "this nudity thing" was one of the first conversations they had with Zwick. "We've pretty much seen each other partially naked before. It removed any kind of shyness and modesty about it. It made it very practical, like, 'Oh, we've done this!' There are no surprises there, nothing to be embarrassed about, so I think we were able to launch into it with confidence."'


'Mapping Jamie and Maggie's sexual relationship was a particularly big part of the movie as they became closer and more intimate, according to Gyllenhaal. "The sex they literally have is primal, the positions and everything. That's Annie's idea." He laughs. "It's funny that I never think about these things. When you make a movie, it's just this thing you're doing among a very small group of people, and then you're talking to people about how you were naked." Hathaway says that Gyllenhaal went out of his way to make sure she always felt comfortable on the set. "He's a very strong person, so he likes to give a lot to people, and sometimes I do worry about him giving too much. I want to say, 'I'm good, dude. Take care of yourself. Don't worry about it.' That protective instinct is really, really strong within him."'

Proving that there is nothing more unsure than a rumour associated with Jake Gyllenhaal's future movie roles, today he is back associated with New Year's Eve. Clearly, uncertainty remains and we are advised not to hold our breath - but rolling eyes is permitted.
