Peter Sarsgaard has been married to Maggie Gyllenhaal since 2009. The couple has previously worked together on several influential movies, and once again, they are collaborating on another project, their upcoming sci-fi monster film The Bride!
In a recent interview with IndieWire, Sarsgaard revealed his experience starring in this movie, which his wife Gyllenhaal wrote, directed, and co-produced. He shared that it’s such a “pleasure acting” for her, noting that he trusted her because he knew she wouldn’t include anything in the film that would make him feel “embarrassed.” He added, “She challenges me to expect more from myself, to put more of myself into it.”
The Sound of Silence movie actor further mentioned that not everyone you work with can tell how much effort you’re putting into your job, noting that, like any job, your commitment might not always stay at “100 percent,” adding, “I forgive myself for times where I’ve seen myself do that in movies.”
Peter Sarsgaard also shared that Maggie Gyllenhaal “specifically wrote” his role for the movie. “I’m the detective. I don’t know how much of a tease that is,” he said, referring to his character. Sarsgaard explained that he grew up enjoying “detective” fiction, movies, and TV shows and even listened to The Shadow on cassette as a child.
The actor said he always had a “little fantasy” about being a detective, not as a police officer with guns, but as someone very intuitive who solves mysteries, noting, “My wife, I think, must have known because she wrote this character for me.”
