Maggie Gyllenhaal left a heartfelt note for her brother Jake on “The Late Show,” revealing a long-standing family tradition of mutual support.
The Siblings’ Tradition of Support
When Jake Gyllenhaal appeared on “The Late Show” on March 3, he was met with a touching gesture from his sister Maggie. She had left a note in the couch for him, which read, “You’re a beast.”
This note is part of a long-standing tradition between the siblings. Jake explained that they have been leaving each other these messages for years to hype each other up. “My sister did a show on Broadway that she was starring in, and it was an amazing experience for her, but also she was going through things,” he recalled. “I went into her dressing room for opening night, in one of the previews maybe, and I just wrote, ‘You’re a beast.’ We write it on each other’s mirrors. She’s written it on my mirror every opening night.”
Promoting ‘The Bride! ‘
Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal were both on “The Late Show” to promote their new film, “The Bride!,” a reimagining of the bride of Frankenstein’s monster. Maggie wrote and directed the movie, while Jake stars in it alongside Jessie Buckley and Christian Bale. This marks the first time Jake Gyllenhaal has starred in a movie directed by his sister, who made her feature directorial debut in 2021 with “The Lost Daughter.”
On “The Late Show,” Jake Gyllenhaal described the experience of being directed by his sister as “one of the most unforgettable experiences of my career.” Maggie echoed his sentiment, calling it “great” to direct her brother. “I love him, and I love him in the movie,” she said. In a separate interview with The New York Times, Maggie revealed that she teared up when she asked Jake to be part of the film, emphasizing how much it meant to her. “We’ve never been estranged, but we’ve never been as close as we are now,” she said. “We’re finally, maybe in the last five years, more and more and more, even each day, really interacting, which is hard for people to do.”

Maggie Gyllenhaal’s directorial journey began with “The Lost Daughter,” which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival. The film received critical acclaim and showcased her ability to craft compelling narratives. Meanwhile, Jake Gyllenhaal has had a stellar career with notable performances in films like “Brokeback Mountain” and “Nightcrawler.”
