His role in Brokeback Mountain received critical acclaim, and he has had notable parts ever since, including his work in films like Zodiac, Love & Other Drugs, and Prisoners. Not only has the star had box office success, but he also tried his hand on the stage: In his theatrical debut, Gyllenhaal starred on the London stage in This is Our Youth and received favorable reviews.

In 2013, he began dating model Alyssa Miller, but it didn’t even last a full year. Since then, it has been rumored that he’s dating his Constellations co-star Ruth Wilson.
