Gyllenhaal also remembers that he felt no fear in accepting a role as committed as Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain: "When I get that opportunity I was still a young actor, but I felt no fear," he says, giving special of the fact that his character was the most openly gay relationship and I should pull the car to pull it forward.
