Jake injured by gay love scenes
Jake Gyllenhaal stars alongside Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain, but filming certain scenes almost broke his nose, says Jake.

The Donnie Darko star explained: "Heath almost broke my nose in a kissing scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me.

"And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the sh*t beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn't hurting as badly as I did after that one."

Brokeback Mountain, directed by Ang Lee (Hulk), sees a Wyoming ranch hand and a Texas rodeo cowboy fall in love. It should be released in the UK next year.
