I saw an old interview where Jake said "Secretary" was his favorite movie of his sister and that he seen it several times. Now I do think the movie is good but in the film Maggie strips down and shows her goods.
Anyone else find it strange that Jake has seen it several times seeing his sister nude. You think he's gotten hard by any chance? Put yourself in his shoes or if you have a sister that gets nude on film, would you watch?
YIKES.
shareHollywood people are weird.
shareYou have disturbing proclivities. Good luck healing with your family and all that.

I remember Michael Madsen once saying he won't see any movies of his sister, Viginia Madsen, because she does so many nude scenes. Figured any brother/sister would be that way.
Heck, Amber Lynn never disclosed that Buck Adams was her brother, but when a director scheduled them to have a scene together that's where they drew the line and had to explain themselves why they refused to do it.
DOH! I never connected those two as siblings - there is zero similarity.
shareHe is so weird for that.
shareI found this in an interview with Susan Sarandon from 2002.
SARANDON: What do your parents [producer/screenwriter/director Stephen Gyllenhaal and producer/screenwriter Naomi Foner] think about the nakedness?
GYLLENHAAL: I think they’d be really happy if I worked with Bertolucci. He’s someone they’ve always respected. My sister [Maggie, also an actor] just did this film—
SARANDON: —Where she plays a sadomasochist? I read about that one.
GYLLENHAAL: Yeah, it’s called Secretary and she’s amazing in it. She’s totally naked in the film, but in a very beautiful kind of way.
SARANDON: It must be weird, as a brother, to see your sister naked.
GYLLENHAAL: Yeah. The story’s beautiful and I recognize it as a plot point, but it’s still uncomfortable.
