Actor Jake Gyllenhaal had an interesting interview on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio program. Aside from talking about his new movie "Southpaw," the star also revealed his thoughts about marriage and his short-lived relationship with Taylor Swift.
Wednesday, July 22, was a somewhat awkward day for Gyllenhaal as he was grilled by the King of All Media about his love life. Stern was unrelentless during his Sirius XM radio show as he told the "Southpaw" actor he wanted him and Swift together, reports Daily Mail. Stern said, "I feel-and this is me stepping in-you should have married Taylor Swift, and I'll tell you why...What a power couple!" And the only response that the actor could come up with was "Oh, that's the reason?" It seems that Stern was "super attracted" to the "Bad Blood" singer and revealed if he had been friends with Gyllenhaal then, he would have advised the actor that Swift was "The One."
The Daily Mail report also listed the number of the times that the actor has fallen in love. When Stern asked about that question, Gyllenhaal initially answered "Three times," before adding, "Twice." Although the "Prince of Persia" actor did not mention any names, the site mentioned two actresses that the star previously dated. Gyllenhaal was in a relationship with Kirsten Dunst from 2002 to 2004 and Reese Witherspoon from 2007 to 2009.
Gyllenhaal also revealed that even when he was in love, the relationship failed mainly because of him, reports People. The actor admitted he "got scared" and how he was a little sad he's not in love at the moment. Still, the star is hoping he will get married soon. Gyllenhaal said, "There are a lot of beautiful women, and there are opportunities. But at the same time, if you find the right person ... I believe in monogamy. I believe in when you meet somebody who's right, it will be right, and you'll stay there."
Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift dated for three months in 2010.
