Gyllenhall dismisses Swift’s ‘All Too Well’ is about him

Los Angeles, Feb 18 : Jake Gyllenhall has finally broken his silence over his ex, Taylor Swift and her song “All Too Well” following the release of her album “Red”. “Red” was re-recorded as Taylor’s version and fans have been claiming the songs are supposedly about the “Prince of Persia” actor and their three-month romance from 2010. Ever since, the actor has been target of many trolls on social media who are most likely Swifties. Talking to Esquire, the 41-year-old “The Day After Tomorrow” actor said: “It has nothing to do with me. It’s about her relationship with her fans. It is her expression. Artists tap into personal experiences for inspiration, and I don’t begrudge anyone that.” “At some point, I think it’s important when supporters get unruly that we feel a responsibility to have them be civil and not allow for cyberbullying in one’s name,” Gyllenhaal added in a pointed suggestion to his ex. On his switching off his Instagram comments following the massive trolling, he said: “That begs for a deeper philosophical question. Not about any individual, per se, but a conversation that allows us to examine how we can — or should, even — take responsibility for what we put into the world, our contributions into the world. “How do we provoke a conversation? My question is: Is this our future? “Is anger and divisiveness our future? Or can we be empowered and empower others while simultaneously putting empathy and civility into the dominant conversation? “We see that in politics. There’s anger and divisiveness, and it’s literally life-threatening in the extreme.” He added that he is not suggesting his life has been threatened by this. “My question is: Is this our future?… That’s the discussion we should be having.” Gyllenhaal said he believed empowerment is possible. According to the actor, time has put things in perspective for him. “I’m not unaware that there’s interest in my life. My life is wonderful. I have a relationship (with girlfriend Jeanne Cadieu) that is truly wonderful, and I have a family I love so much. And this whole period of time has made me realize that.” As for whether he’ll make his own reactionary art out of this, “I don’t know. I can’t tell you that. Ask me in a month.”(UNI)
