Posted by Adam
JAKE Gyllenhaal wants to go back to university.
The Brokeback Mountain star — who quit his course at New York City’s Columbia University to pursue a career in Hollywood — says he’s keen to finish his degree.
“I dropped out of Columbia University in 2000 after two years of studying Eastern religions and philosophy to concentrate on acting,” he said. “But I have always wanted to finished my degree.”
Jake recently revealed that he spent time in prison to prepare for his role in new movie Brothers.
“My character starts off in jail so I did a lot of research at LA County Jail, Lancaster State Prison and some juvenile state halls,” he told Fox News.
“I came across this incredible writing program for kids that are spending time in juvenile halls. 14-18 year-olds participate in this writing program and that really changed my … perspective on the prison system and the people inside it.
“I have since been back many times to work on this writing program and with these kids.
“It’s so life changing and extraordinary.”
