Jake Gyllenhaal looks handsome in blazer and jeans as he heads to GMA — and reveals he ‘felt a responsibility’ to honor the late Patrick Swayze in the Road House reboot

Jake Gyllenhaal looked handsome while attending a GMA interview.

The handsome 43-year-old – who recently spoke about potentially playing Batman – arrived at the New York City studio on Tuesday morning to promote his upcoming reboot of the classic 1989 Patrick Swayze action film Road House.

Since he’s starring in the retelling of the ’80s classic, he undoubtedly took some fashion notes from the era when he wore a gray double-breasted pinstripe blazer with a huge lapel.

He added even more retro flare when he paired the outerwear with light blue jeans, a light blue shirt and black leather dress shoes.

His short brown locks were combed to the side and elegantly tousled, while he sported a full beard.

On the program, he was asked by host Michael Strahan if he felt pressure to fill the shoes of the late great Swayze.

Jake responded, “I mean, I knew Patrick, I worked with him on the movie Donnie Darko. He was always so kind and loving to me. From the very beginning, he and his wife Lisa were always so supportive and so I didn’t feel any pressure, but I felt a responsibility to him.

“It’s an honor, it’s a cult classic, so many fans of the film, but we also did it in a very different way.”

Swayze died in 2009 at just 57 years old, less than two years after being diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer.

The remake debuted on March 8 as the opening film at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

This comes as Hollywood writer Lance Hill recently sued Amazon.com to halt the upcoming remake of the 1989 film Road House, arguing that the film infringes on his rights in the original’s screenplay.

Lance, 81, said in the lawsuit in federal court in California that Amazon was never granted a license to remake his screenplay after reclaiming his copyright on it.

He requested an unspecified amount of monetary damages and an injunction to restrain Amazon from distributing the film without a new license.

A spokesperson for Amazon MGM Studios said the lawsuit was “completely without merit.”

Hill’s attorney, Marc Toberoff, said major studios must “respect the fundamental rights and artistry of creators on whose sweat and toil their empires are built.”

According to the lawsuit, Hill wrote the Road House screenplay in 1986 and transferred his rights to the film producer United Artists later that year.

U.S. copyright law allows artists to terminate transfers and reclaim their rights after decades under certain circumstances. Hill told the court that he notified Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, owner of United Artists, in 2021 that he was reclaiming his rights to the screenplay.

MGM reportedly responded that Hill could not reclaim the copyright.

Amazon acquired MGM in March 2022. Hill said he got his copyright back last November and that Amazon set a deadline to finish the film the day before the termination took effect.

Hill said Amazon took “extreme measures” to meet the deadline, including using artificial intelligence to recreate actors’ voices during a Screen Actors Guild strike, but that Amazon did not finish the film until January.

Amazon’s spokesperson denied that the remake uses AI instead of actors’ voices.

Hill frequently used the pseudonym David Lee Henry in Hollywood and is best known for the cult film Road House.

Henry is credited with creating the story for the original Road House and shares co-writing of the screenplay with Hilary Henkin, 71.

Set in the Florida Keys, the remake is directed by Doug Liman, whose filmography includes Swingers, The Bourne Identity and Mr. & Mrs. Smith includes.

Road House will debut on Amazon’s Prime Video streaming platform on March 21.
