Jake Gyllenhaal blown away by revelation Dennis Quaid played his father in The Day After Tomorrow

Jake Gyllenhaal has said an interviewer “blew his mind” when they informed him about it Strange world Co-star Dennis Quaid portrayed his father in the 2004 film The day after tomorrow.

The two actors reiterate their father-son dynamic in Disney’s latest animated film.

During a recent video interview for the adventure film, which has since gone viral, a Yahoo The reporter begins by telling Quaid, “You and Jake obviously played father and son The day after tomorrow.”

When Quaid nods in approval, a shocked Gyllenhaal quickly chimes in, “Did we? Oh oh oh! Wow! That’s the guy who played my father.”

“It’s the first time we’re in the same room together,” adds Quaid. “This is me.”

“Wow, that’s cool. You know we did a lot of interviews and you just blew me away,” Gyllenhaal informs the reporter.

Many online commentators suspect Gyllenhaal was joking.

“He’s clearly kidding,” commented one Yahoo’s YouTube video with a different argument: “He wasn’t joking. He’s done a lot of movies and I don’t think they ever had a physical scene together in the movie.”

Whether or not Gyllenhaal is trolling fans, it’s true that her characters spend most of the film separated by a superstorm, with Gyllenhaal’s Sam stranded in New York City and his father (Quaid) being forced to walk from Philadelphia travel to save him before it’s too late.

In her latest film Strange worldthey also didn’t spend much time together since they were in the recording booths at different times.

Strange world is coming to cinemas now.
