Jake Survives On-Set Injury
Acting can be dangerous to your health — just ask Jake Gyllenhaal! While waiting to shoot a scene for his latest movie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, Reese Witherspoon's boyfriend nearly lost an eye!
"He was throwing this prop key up higher and higher," says an insider. "But on the eighth toss, he didn't catch it and the key slashed his face, an inch under his left eye. Everyone held their breath because he couldn't see for a few moments because of the blood."
An on-set nurse stopped the bleeding, bandaged Jake up and wanted to take him to a nearby London hospital. He declined but must have been more shaken up than he appeared because "he called in sick the next day," adds the insider.
"When he did return to work, the makeup department had a tough time covering it up."

There is a Prince of Persia Movie Coming out!! Awesome!
-- No one that cares
The actors that donated the paychecks was the ones that finished his last movie. It dont have anything to do with Jake!
-- browninggurl
i bet what really happened was that he got a little cut. leave it to star to make things always seem so much worse then they are!
-- yup yup
Who cares. I am not a fan of Jake's nor am I fan of "Miss Control Freak" Reese Witherspoon, his fat and ugly girlfriend. Also, I thought that it was odd that other actors were donating their paychecks to Matilda Ledger, however, her godfather, Jake, was not. Is this part of the "control freak"'s plan?
-- Who cares about Jake and Reese
Amen Debbie

Glad he's Okay but life is full of freak accidents. You just never know how you can injure yourself just doing silly things. Hope JAKE REALIZES HE DOES NOT HAVE TO SHOW OFF ON SET, JUST BRING HIS GOOD ACTING AND EVERYONE WILL LIKE HIM AND ALSO BE DOWN TO EARTH. Jake is obviously down to earth because he is with Reese and she is one of my favorite actresses!
-- Don't be a showoff!
This story has nothing to do with reese but if ppl insit on talking about her is is amazing and beautiful any man would be lucky to have her in his life.
