Adolescence’s Owen Cooper Meets His Idol Jake Gyllenhaal in a Sweet Union

In a sweet development, Adolescence’s teenage star, Owen Cooper, had the chance to meet his idol, Jake Gyllenhaal, ahead of the Emmy Awards. The teenager went on to set a record at the Emmys for being the youngest male actor to bag the prestigious award. But he had one dream come true even before that, as Gyllenhaal arrived to surprise the young actor who could not stop singing praises of the Nightcrawler star.

Jake Gyllenhaal creates a wholesome moment for Owen Cooper

Owen Cooper’s fans already know the number of times the young actor has been vocal about his love for Jake Gyllenhaal, who indeed remains one of the best actors in the world at the moment. Cooper talked about Gyllenhaal in several interviews and appearances before this. He was always clear that Gyllenhaal was his favorite actor and idol.

So, it came as a shocking but pleasant surprise when Cooper was in the middle of an interview speaking about Gyllenhaal, and the actor simply walked in. The shock was evident on the face of the young actor. This is visible in the video by Netflix’s @netflixtudum on Instagram.

Cooper could not seem to wrap his head around the fact that this was happening. But it left him delighted. Gyllenhaal greeted him, talked to him, and even gave him a little gift.

Gyllenhaal gave the young actor a rubber duck. “I made this movie and I got nominated for an Academy Award,” he explained to Cooper, “and a friend of mine sent me this before — something just like this. It’s just a lucky duck.”

Interestingly, this duck did turn out to be actually lucky for Owen Cooper, who won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series at the Emmy Awards. This also made Cooper the youngest actor to achieve the feat.

So, a lot of great things happened for the 15-year-old actor in a short span. But he will not be complaining about any of it.
