"I like to consider myself an adventurer": Jake Gyllenhaal tells us about sail, mountaineering and meditation<

Beauty did you have that Jake Gyllenhaal liked to sail when he was not on a set?It was therefore obvious for the Prada house, to choose it as a new face of its Prada Luna Rossa Ocean fragrance, Ode all powerful in the ocean.For the occasion, he confided in Vogue, delivering a few anecdotes to his most reckless roles in the cinema and his sailing outings between two shoots.

His roles, he always chooses them with ardor, before embodying them brilliantly, following a physical and mental preparation of which he gives us the secrets exclusively. An intensity he also placed in his role as ambassador of the emblematic perfume of the Prada house, Prada Luna Rossa Ocean, which sticks to his skin. For its vibrant allusion to the ocean already, since this new juice refers as much to the emblematic competition of the America Cup Cup, sport as the actor has been practicing since the very small, as the omnipotence of this element natural, and the wind of freedom and adventure that it represents. But also for its elegance, full of dog, charm and temperament. The actor presents this new juice created by the master perfumers Anne Flipo and Carlos Benaim, while revealing to us in the passage of childhood memories, his tips to push his limits and his way of disconnecting after the shootings.

Jake Gyllenhaal confides in Vogue Paris

Quel est le signe distinctif du parfum Luna Rossa Ocean ?

Jake Gyllenhaal: His energy, which also exalts through the video campaign.He has a spirit of adventure.It reflects nature and particularly one of its most powerful elements, and to which I am very attached: the ocean.It represents strength, perseverance, tenacity.But also technology.The perfume bottle is also beautiful to admire in itself ... and functional!This is what I like with the Prada house is that it has the art of combining the beautiful in functional.

Comment matche-t-il avec votre personnalité ?

I like to consider myself an adventurer.I try to push my limits.Admittedly, there are no risk without fear but I am always ready for the adventure.What I appreciate, in this project with Prada is that it is not the word "adventurer" only in the external sense, but also an internal point of view.It is once the strength of the mind found, that you are inspired, that you feel more peaceful and that you finally understand who you want to be really.This is the strong message behind this fragrance.

Ce parfum est une ode à l’océan. Pratiquez-vous un sport aquatique ?

I have been sailing since I was very small.I love being on the water.On the other hand, I am very bad in water skiing.It terrifies me!I never found a way to get up!

Quelle est la chose la plus aventurière que vous n’ayez jamais faite dans votre vie ?

It depends on the definition we have of "adventure".Physically, we can consider that I am an adventurer, in the sense that I did things and went to dangerous places.However, my most adventurous side, and of which I am most proud, is my introspection capacity.I have acquired a better knowledge of my mind.I try to understand it.I listen to my emotions.I remain curious.I observe, I help, I listen to others.For me, that is to be an adventurer.

Et le rôle le plus téméraire que vous ayez eu à jouer ?

I shot for a film that told the ascent of Mont Everest (film "Everest"), in which I embodied Scott Fischer, a mountaineer who really existed.All scenes - or almost - turned outdoors, high altitude, in the freezing cold.This is undoubtedly the most challenging role in my career so far.

Où puisez-vous la force pour repousser sans cesse vos limites ?

Listening to me.We live in a world in which we are constantly dictating the way to follow, which we should do or not do.I found my limits by listening to my own needs.And even if the limits you set can upset certain people or certain systems, in the end, a life that is worth living is a life during which we are listening to our own desires and that wefollows his instinct.

Comment vous préparez-vous mentalement pour un rôle exigeant ?

Of course, there are the dialogues to remember, the story of the character to impregnate.But in itself, there is not really an ideal preparation.It is above all a question of staying open to people and elements, to create connections.Try not to be hindered by your own judgments or projections.Sometimes I have the feeling of going too far in immersion.So much so that it still affects me after filming.But it's a great job!

Comment vous reconnectez-vous à vous-mêmes après ces tournages très prenants ?

I wrap myself in honeysuckle (laughs)!Of course, as with any transition, it's complicated.You have to know how to get rid of the world in which you immersed yourself, the character you have embodied, and interact again with the outside world!As with other experiences, there is a certain awkwardness in social interactions.It just takes time.Then, with the experience, we know that it will be a little weird for some days.I try my side to cut all electronic mesters for at least 5 days.

Justement, il y a-t-il une pratique wellness qui vous permet de déconnecter mentalement ?

I meditate.It's so simple to do!I try to do it twice a day, even if sometimes it is once or twice a week.This allows you to regain control of your mind.Before doing or thinking something wrong, you immediately become aware of it and changes your mindset.

La situation pandémique a-t-elle changé votre vision de la vie ?

After all the difficult times that took place around the world, I think we understood the importance of rest and calm.This is something I would like to take with me for my future life.Deprived of social interactions, we refocused on our lives to us.By being much more anchored in the present.We are so devoted to our work today.There is so much time spent on travel, for example, that you could pass with the people you love, while remaining devoted to your work.This period proved to us that we could reconcile all these things by focusing on what is most important.

Quelles sont les odeurs qui vous rendent heureux ?

When I was little, there was a honeysuckle shrub just in front of our house.He felt incredibly good, especially in the spring, and his fruits tasted honey.I remember opening its flowers and drawing this delicious sweet nectar.It is a memory of my childhood that I will keep for life.

Quelles sont les autres choses qui vous rendent heureux ?

The food.Sunny days.My family too, finally, most of the time ... and finally my dog Leo!

Quel est votre mantra dans la vie ?

Stay curious.
