In an interview with The New York Times podcast The Interview, Maggie shared insights about their bond, revealing that while they have never been estranged, their connection has deepened in recent years. Maggie, 48, discussed the emotional weight of casting Jake, 45, in her directorial debut. She described the process as a vulnerable moment, acknowledging the challenges of balancing their individual careers with family ties. “I think I did have to be separate from my family, from my brother,” she admitted, explaining how their early success in acting required them to navigate their personal lives. However, she emphasized that this separation was not a permanent state. “We’re finally, maybe in the last five years, more and more and more, even each day, really interacting,” she said, highlighting the effort required to maintain close ties. The film The Bride! features Jake as an actor named Ronnie Reed, who encounters the title character played by Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale’s portrayal of Frankenstein’s monster. Maggie described the decision to cast her brother as a deliberate and thoughtful process, ensuring it was the right choice. “I waited until I was absolutely sure,” she said, recalling the emotional impact of the decision. “I remember asking him and tearing up… just alone in this hotel room I was in, because it meant so much to me.” The Gyllenhaal siblings, who began acting in the 1990s, come from a family deeply rooted in filmmaking.#the_new_york_times #the_bride #maggie_gyllenhaal #jake_gyllenhaal #donnie_darko
