He's a diva. He's an eccentric enthusiast with world domination power and the best meta-actor. And a fabulous b*tch.

"I fell deeply in love with that suit. Oh, the sweet feeling of tight spandex. And it's a full wool cape, with light battery packs. And a number of people, when they're walking behind you, do [step on it]. It's like wearing a ball gown. You're all the sudden choked by [it]." Gyllenhaal told Yahoo Entertainment during a recent stop into our Los Angeles studios.

Thanks to Jake for his sassy androgynous aura

If serious... As he said, the ideal man for him is one who accepts his masculine, feminine and androgynous side. So glad to hear that in an era of toxic masculinity. So glad to hear this from someone who is an example of ideal man to people.

"According to Calvin Klein, this new version of Eternity “captures the spirit of today’s man.” What does that mean to you?
JG: I have no idea what that means, so that’s the first step. [Laughs.] But I think that’s a big part of it. I think the sort of foolish nature of saying that you know what a man is supposed to be has been a problem. I think that a big part of the modern man is listening, though I also sometimes find that it’s the hardest thing to do, particularly in a culture that has been, up to this point, male-dominated. So if listening is a big part of the modern man, it’s hard for me to tell you what I think a modern man should be. I just think it’s being pieced together slowly, you know? And it’s changing. There’s a whole new generation that is defining all new things. There’s this amazing psychoanalyst-slash-philosopher named Robert Johnson who wrote three different books—one called She, one called He, one called We. He really goes into essentially how we have the masculine persona, the feminine persona—all those things—in us, and how we balance them. The people who I admire, they embrace and respect all sides of themselves—the masculine, the feminine, and the combination of the two.
Who are some of those people?
JG: I would actually say Tom Holland, who I worked with [on Spider-Man], is really one of those people. There are so many stigmas that he just embraces—like, he’s this beautiful dancer, and he’s also Spider-Man. He’s incredibly sensitive, but he’s a bad ass. He’s strong in that way, and strong in a different way. In that way, I’d also say Frank Ocean. It doesn’t just have to do with sexuality. I think it has to do with expression. There’s a certain kind of courage in expressing someone’s individuality, and I like people who do so in a way that feels really true."
