Jake Gyllenhaal blows everyone’s minds with recent claims

A film director who worked with Brokeback Mountain star, Jake Gyllenhall, once described him as a 'bit of an oddball' and while we doubted the legitimacy of his remarks, we're starting to see where he's coming from now…

It seems the popular actor has a few theories on why we act and behave like we do on any given day.

While most of us put our moods down to the day of the week, the current weather or our proximity to payday, Mr Gyllenhaal believes our moods and ultimate behaviour are affected by the moon.

Explaining the theory which has left us a little squinty-eyed, the 34-year-old Nightcrawler actor said: "We’re like 90 per cent water, so naturally we are going to be affected by the moon when it’s full: if the sea is, why wouldn’t we be? That seems scientific to me."

Suggesting that we subconsciously soak up the environment we find ourselves in, Maggie's bro insisted: "I believe deeply in the unconscious. That you literally accumulate the molecules of the space that you’re in."

According to the star, this thought process helps when he's attempting to get into character, saying: "So, if you spend enough time in whatever environment your character would exist in- the way I spent six months with police officers- then the molecules of that environment must transfer somehow."

In that case, you're going to have to excuse us while we make some calls- we have some Victoria's Secret Angels we need to start hanging with.
