Jake Gyllenhaal Reveals How New Movie 'Strange World' Impacted His Views on Fatherhood

Jake Gyllenhaal hits the carpet for the screening of his brand new movie, Strange World!

The 41-year-old actor joined co-stars Jaboukie Young-White and Gabrielle Union at the premiere held at El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on Tuesday (November 15).

Speaking with ET at the event, Jake opened up about how the film impacted his outlook on family and fatherhood.

“That’s what moved me so much about it when I heard the pitch for the first time, it just hit straight home — all the complications we have in communicating to the different generations of our family,” Jake explained.

He added, “Ultimately, the thing that I love about this film, is that the youngest generation is the one that helps bridge the gap between all of them, and the idea that it’s family first, it starts in your family, and how you treat each other in your family is ultimately how you go out into the world and treat the world, and if we can all resolve some of those things, I think the world would be a different place.”

Gabrielle‘s husband, Dwyane Wade and their daughter Kaavia, as well as directors Don Hall and Qui Nguyen, producer Roy Conli and composer Henry Jackman were also at the event.

Strange World hits theaters November 23.

FYI: Gabrielle wore Valentino. Jake is wearing Deveaux New York navy pants.
