Jake Gyllenhaal would jump at another role that brought him back to UK theatre land after the success of his early career stint in Kenneth Lonergan's revival of 'This is Our Youth'.

Gyllenhaal is open to make a return to British theatre following his early career stint in Kenneth Lonergan's revival of 'This is Our Youth', which earned him stellar reviews and an Outstanding Newcomer theatre award from the Evening Standard newspaper.

He told British radio station Magic FM: "Definitely, I love it here (in the UK) and I loved working here on the stage."

Gyllenhaal says he would snap up the opportunity to perform at the prestigious Old Vic Theatre - which is run by Kevin Spacey - in London, as he gushed: "The Old Vic is such an incredible institution and an amazing theatre space, I would love to work there! And if that temptation calls, I will answer in one way or another!"

Gyllenhaal 32 reveals he has a strong connection to London after his early role in 2001 film 'Donnie Darko' earned him a loyal fanbase in England.

Gyllanhaal added: "It sort of died in the States and I was doing a play over here and it just came alive again! I'd be walking along the street with people shouting, 'Donny Darko, look there's Darko!' "

Jake Gyllenhaal is currently staring with Hugh Jackman, as Detective Loki, in 'Prisoners', and he has nothing but praise for Hugh's acting talents.

He said: "It's annoying how good he is ... he's a true gentleman ... like old school Hollywood!"
