Jake Gyllenhaal Rushed To Hospital After Punching Mirror

Poor ol’ Jake Gyllenhaal was rushed to the hospital early in the morning Wednesday after he punched a mirror on the set of his new movie, ‘Nightcrawler.’

Why did he punch a mirror? Was it because he listened to the song Taylor Swift wrote about him? No, he was apparently just really into his character and punched it during an emotional scene.

A source who talked with People said the following…

“Jake flipped out. His character was looking into a mirror during the scene and punched the mirror in anger and broke it, cutting himself so bad he had to be taken to a hospital.”

Ouch. That is a man who takes his job seriously! The 32-year-old actor did end up having to get stitches, but he was back at work later in the day. Sources say the accident happened after a tiring 18-hours on set.

“The scene was emotionally charged and his character was talking into a mirror and he got so into it, he banged his hands against the mirror and it broke. It was all the scene, and not because he was mad about anything else.”

Yeah, right. He was probably mad that he’s having to lose 20 damn pounds for the role. I’d be breaking mirrors too if I was starving myself. He probably thought he saw a cheeseburger in that damn thing and reached in to grab it.

Someone get the man some food!
