Heath’s Death Hard on Jake Gyllenhaal
February 4th, 2008 by Tess

After shooting a movie together like Brokeback Mountain, how can you not be close? Apparently, this is quite the case for Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal. The two were good friends, and Jake is the godfather of Heath’s two year old daughter Matilda.
Those around Jake say he is having a really rough time with Heath’s death. A friend says, “Jake is taking this harder than most people.”
Those on the set of Jake’s current film project say his mood has gone from playful to somber in the days following Heath’s death. The director is working around any personal leave Jake needs to take.
