The fired up actor continued, “There’s not a song he’s on, a remix that he’s on that isn’t good. I totally disagree.”
The star continued his enthusiastic campaign for Sean Paul, adding, “He makes driving fun…I don’t care what you’re doing. You could be stuck in traffic and he comes on and then you want to dance, doesn’t matter.”
If he wasn’t already clear, Gyllenhaal declared, “I totally disagree. That is an unpopular opinion. Now I understand the game.”
