Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal’s bromance has come to an end. The two actors were close friends for many years. They even previously served as roommates in New York City. However, their friendship has recently taken a huge hit, causing a huge rift. Things have gotten so bad between the duo that they’re allegedly no longer speaking to one another. Sources reveal the falling out is over a former co-star who sparked rumors about their on-set behavior.
According to Radar Online, actress Rebecca Ferguson previously spoke out about a male co-star who screamed at her on set and made her cry. There were plenty of rumors about who she was talking about. However, many fans thought that it had to be either Ryan Reynolds or Jake Gyllenhaal on the set of their film.
Ferguson confirmed that Hugh Jackman and Tom Cruise were not the co-stars who upset her. After that, fans began to believe that Reynolds was the most likely culprit. The scandal has created an issue between the actor and his former bestie, who also took heat amid the controversy. The two have now allegedly cut ties over the speculation.
Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal Bromance Ends In Bitter Feud
“They were like brothers. However, the reality of Hollywood friendships is often far more ruthless. Once someone feels betrayed, there’s no turning back,” an insider dished.
“Rumors swirled that when Rebecca opted not to collaborate with a difficult former co-star people pointed to Ryan as the person who made her cry. But Ryan ensured the blame was redirected. Just hours later, Jake was suddenly painted as the villain. That was no coincidence!”
Reynolds, Gyllenhaal, and Ferguson starred together in the 2017 Sci-Fi movie Life. While the actress has refused to name the actor who behaved badly on set, she did call him an “idiot” as well as “insecure.”
In addition to Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal’s longstanding bromance, they also have another major connection. Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, have been very close with singer Taylor Swift over the years. She even serves as godmother to their children. (However, there is drama there too!) In 2010, Swift and Gyllenhaal briefly dated per People Magazine. The encounter has allegedly spawned several songs from the singer, including fan-favorite tune All Too Well.
Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal aren’t speaking out about the alleged rift between them. However, Rebecca Ferguson’s allegations seem to have hit a nerve with the actors. It remains to be seen if they can salvage their friendship, but fans will likely be monitoring the situation as it plays out.
