10 Things To Love About Jake...y
10. HIS MODESTY
Gyllenhaal doesn't resent being in the spotlight. "You're at premieres, people are taking your picture. It's totally fun," he says. And he lacks pretentiousness. "He's so cool and normal, funny and down to earth," says his Day After Tomorrow costar Emmy Rossum. "He's fantastic."
9. HIS PEDIGREE

"There's a humility to him," says his Moonlight Mile director, Brad Silberling.
8. HIS BRAINS
Gyllenhaal, who graduated from L.A.'s Harvard-Westlake School in 1998, studied Eastern religion at New York's Columbia University for two years.

"I like the idea of learning a lot about one thing."
7. HIS ANIMAL LOVE
