Jake Gyllenhaal: Love is blinding

Jake Gyllenhaal thinks love is “blinding”. The 29-year-old actor — who is rumored to be dating country singer Taylor Swift – believes being in your 20s is the best age to fall in love because it is the first time people are getting to balance adult responsibilities with fun.

“Love is definitely blinding in your 20s. I don’t know – it’s just so great and so awesome,” he said.

“For the first time there is a seriousness to it because you have responsibilities in your 20s you don’t have when you are a teenager and so you have to deal with those responsibilities.

“You know you can’t just wonder out into nowhere thinking about how amazingly in love you are, you have work or college to deal with. So appreciate that – people who are in your 20s and in love!”

Recent reports claimed Gyllenhaal is worried Swift will write a song about him.

“Jake keeps obsessing that she’s looking for things to write about, and told her, ‘I don’t want to be just another failed relationship that you put to lyrics.’ Taylor just giggled, but vowed she’d lay off,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.
