Gyllenhaal gets his way

Hollywood hunk Jake Gyllenhaal has confessed he can be a diva when he thinks it’s necessary.

The Donnie Darko star, 23, indulged his creative control in his latest film The Day After Tomorrow when he refused to say certain lines in the script and suggested new ones.

Gyllenhaal says: "There were a couple of instances where I said, 'No way am I saying that line!' and they rewrote it.' There won't be any subtitle saying, 'Sorry, these guys don't sound like real human beings, but they just didn't have the balls to say the dialogue sucked."

He should know what he is talking about as his mother, Naomi Foner is a writer.

Gyllenhaal continues: "Coming from a family where my mom is a writer, I just respond to how people speak. I thrive on the process of getting this stuff right. It drove them crazy, but it was fun. You have to entertain yourself when you're spending seven months in Montreal."
