So I think I'm in love with Jake Gyllenhaal. Ok, I was already in love with him, but after hearing his new song, "Across the Way," my feelings have grown tenfold. The 39-year-old actor unveiled the beautiful ballad on Friday in collaboration with composer Jeanine Tesori and writer David Lindsay-Abaire. Together, the trio is helping to support the organization 24 Hour Plays, which unites communities to produce plays and musicals that are written, rehearsed, and performed in 24 hours.
"A love song in the age of quarantine, this is 'Across The Way' from the brilliant minds of @jeaninetesori and @lindsayabaire," Gyllenhaal captioned an Instagram video of his performance. "Written and recorded in 24 hours for the @24hourplays, it was an honor to collaborate with these two from across the way! If you can, please donate to @24hourplays.

When it came to casting the Elaine Stritch role for “Co-Op,” the upcoming Season 3 episode of IFC’s “Documentary Now!” that parodies D.A.
