Jake Gyllenhaal: Look guys, I’m not 30 yet!
The hunky actor, 29, admits he has mixed feelings about turning 30. “Look guys, I’m not 30 yet!” Gyllenhaal, who celebrates the milestone birthday in December, told People magazine.
“Can you cut it with the 30 comments?”
“I feel more like myself. I feel like now, it’s just the beginning,” he adds.
“I guess you get to a point at 30 or somewhere and you say, ‘What I am, is what I am and that’s what I’m going to be and that’s all good. I don’t need to be anything else.’ And that’s kind of how I feel.
“Some of my earliest memories are of my sister [Maggie Gyllenhaal] coming back from doing a rehearsal for some musical during elementary school.
“I would watch her, and I realized that she got attention that way. I joined her and we would put on shows together and she would always boss me around.
“She would put on a stage performance of Cats for me, and I would be a lone, poor cat sitting in the corner while my sister performed. I never got to be the star. I did everything wrong according to her.”
