Jake Gyllenhaal’s indie film Suddenly reportedly fell apart because of the actor’s alleged “erratic” behavior on set, director Thomas Bidegain reveals.In a new interview with Technikart (via World of Reel), the French director confessed that his recently-released film, Soudain Seuls, was supposed to star Jake Gyllenhaal and Vanessa Kirby (who co-starred in 2015’s Everest), but their behavior ruined the film. His movie, Suddenly, was supposed to be a survival film featuring the two actors as a couple who get stranded on an island, and even had Margot Robbie in the run for the lead actress. The film was an adaptation of Isabelle Autissier’s novel of the same name, but Jake Gyllenhaal’s “erratic” behavior on set killed the project.One of the surprising anecdotes involves Gyllenhaal stripping to his underwear in front of the crew and diving into the freezing ocean, adding that, “When I see the sea, I swim in the sea” in front of the surprised crew. Also very concerned with COVID-19 (as the events took place in 2021), the actor reportedly demanded that the production’s set builders sleep in their cars, so they wouldn’t spread the virus. The director claims the actor had enough when the screenwriter didn’t agree to make more changes to the script, after the actor’s pleas about finding the “true meaning” of the film, and Gyllenhall left the project.
