As Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds still try to hold onto a positive image in the eyes of the public, their lives are being laid bare by the world, trying to analyze every conflict in their professional lives. Audiences are looking back at every little controversy and falling out that they have had with friends and co-stars, and things do not seem to be looking good.
While Gossip Girl actress Leighton Meester is brought up for Lively, Jake Gyllenhaal is frequently brought up when it comes to broken friendships on Reynolds’ side. Going from being the closest of friends to suddenly growing miles apart, many have speculated about the reason for their fall out.
Most notably, Taylor Swift is frequently brought up in this discussion considering her alleged past with Gyllenhaal. With this, an older interview is leaving a foul taste in the mouths of fans.
Jake Gyllenhaal was very glad that he became friends with Ryan Reynolds
Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman’s friendship was very well-known by their fans. From joking with each other in interviews to posting about their hangouts on their social media, they were beloved by all, and their dynamic was to die for.
Although Gyllenhaal and Jackman had been friends for many years, Reynolds entered the picture in 2017, when he collaborated with the Road House actor in Life. In an interview with The Cutaway with William Mullally, Gyllenhaal talked about his friendship with the Deadpool actor, and his words were quite heartwarming.
I’ve really made a true friend in this process with him. It’s rare in this business that we’re in, where you’re contemporary, who is your age, doing the same thing, who you’ve known from afar, where there isn’t some sort of funny competition that is either real or created by the environment or representatives or whatever. He is a true friend who I really love. I feel blessed. As much as I am proud of the movie, and I love the people involved in it, his friendship is what I consider to be the success of this film.
Gyllenhaal talked about how glad he was that he became friends with Reynolds, referring to him as a true friend and speaking very highly of him. He pointed out that it was difficult to find a good friend in someone who was at the same professional point as him.
However, he was glad that he found someone like that in Reynolds. He even stated that one of the best things to come out of their film together was the fact that they became friends.
Why did Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds drift apart?
Considering how highly Jake Gyllenhaal spoke of Ryan Reynolds, the world was very surprised when he was suddenly alienated by the Deadpool & Wolverine actors. Fans very quickly noticed that Reynolds, along with Hugh Jackman and Blake Lively, had unfollowed Gyllenhaal on their social media.
While there have been many theories about why this may have happened, one of the most probable ones involves Taylor Swift. The beloved singer was rumored to have been involved with Gyllenhaal from 2010 to 2011. The relationship allegedly did not end very well, and she went on to write several songs in Red that fans believe addressed this.
Some have argued that their rumored breakup was years before this happened, and everyone would have moved past it. However, around the time of their friendship, the singer was also releasing Red (Taylor’s Version). This album featured All Too Well (10 Minute Version), which is believed to detail her entire relationship with Gyllenhaal.
The short film for this song has a scene that was shot in Lively and Reynolds’ home. Considering this, one can imagine why they could have cut their ties with Gyllenhaal.
