Anne Hathaway: 'Jake Gyllenhaal could be a nightmare'

Anne Hathaway has described her two-time co-star Jake Gyllenhaal as a "really lovely" person.

The Dark Knight Rises actress appeared alongside Gyllenhaal in 2005's Brokeback Mountain and reunited with the 30-year-old last year for Love & Other Drugs.

Speaking to Contactmusic, Hathaway expressed a genuine affection for Gyllenhaal and praised him for remaining grounded and humble despite being "good-looking".

"I know actors always say this about each other, but he really is lovely," she said. "I worked with him on Brokeback Mountain and then five years later on Love & Other Drugs; he was a great guy then and still is. He's a real person.

"That's a weird compliment, but someone's as good-looking as he is, with as much adoration from such a young age, they could easily be a nightmare, or stuck-up jerk. But he's a good guy."

Hathaway was also full of praise for her "cool" Alice in Wonderland colleagues Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton.

She said: "I worked with them on Alice in Wonderland and they're just so lovely. Tim marches to his own beat and he doesn't hear, or worry, about anyone else. I think that's something that he and Helena have in common.

"They're just living their own lives, as themselves, and they really don't care what people think. I find that so liberating. I really just think they're the coolest people on the planet."
