Jake Gyllenhaal re-evaluated his life following pal Heath Ledger’s death
April 15th, 2010 - 6:12 pm ICT by ANILondon, April 15 (ANI): Jake Gyllenhaal has said that he assessed his life after friend Heath Ledger’s untimely death.
Ledger’s death in January 2008 due to a toxic combination of prescription drugs left Gyllenhaal torn apart, reports The Daily Express.
His death impelled the 29-year-old actor to re-assess his personal problems.
“Life, I didn’t totally understand. And I think I was afraid of life. And I had success in my work, enough success that you could keep going back there,” Gyllenhaal told America’s GQ magazine.
“But after his death happened… I think I recognised that it was work. And I recognised that this is for real,” Gyllenhaal added. (ANI)
