Jake Gyllenhaal Is a Totally Fun Uncle, Bought His Niece 45 Balloons For Her Birthday!

Jake Gyllenhaal stands behind the scenes while listening to some audio on the set of Demolition on Monday (October 27) in New York City.

On Saturday (October 25), the 33-year-old actor was a featured speaker at the inaugural Produced By: New York conference at the Time Warner Center in New York City.

Jake recently chatted about being an uncle to Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard‘s two daughters Gloria, 2, and Ramona, 8.

“I try [to spoil my nieces]. I brought so many balloons to my niece’s eighth birthday — I felt really bad. I knew I wasn’t going to be the one taking them home. I literally brought like 45 balloons. My brother in law was like, ‘Thanks,’” Jake told USA Today. “The next day I asked my niece where all the balloons went. She said, ‘They’re everywhere.’”

FYI: Jake is wearing Timberland.
