Jake Gyllenhaal wants to direct films
March 24th, 2011 - 3:18 am ICT by IANSLondon, March 24 (IANS) Actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who was nominated for a best supporting actor Oscar this year for “Brokeback Mountain”, admits his future lies in directing.
“Well, I do have a number of things that I’m developing. That’s probably where the future lies for me - but I’m not going to give up the day job just yet. I’d like to see where it goes,” contactmusic.com quoted him as saying.
The 30-year-old revealed he would like to write his own scripts in the future because he realises he will not be around forever.
“You’re always wondering how long this will last. It’s a piece of being an actor. There’s always someone more talented or younger than you,” he added.
“But I also like to write. In years to come, I think that will expand. I won’t just be scrapping for the next job. Maybe I’ll create something for myself,” he said.
