Teen fans are turning Jake Gyllenhaal's Broadway show into a 'Bieber concert'

Jake Gyllenhaal's Broadway show has reportedly turned into a bit of a "Justin Bieber" concert because his teen fans are so excited to see him onstage.

The actor is currently starring in 'Sea Wall/A Life' alongside British actor Tom Sturridge. The play is slated as a tragicomedy that dissects the meaning of life and love through monologues about masculinity - so, not far off from a Bieber concert, then.

Now, according to The New York Post's Page Six, teens are getting a little overexcited at the presence of the former 'Donnie Darko' star. Before the show begins, Gyllenhaal sits at a piano onstage as the audience comes into the theatre. But the set-up has over-eager fans walking directly up to the stage in hopes of catching Gyllenhaal's attention, only to be escorted back to their parents by ushers.

But Gyllenhaal appears to have eyes for one woman only at the moment: 23-year-old French model Jeanne Cadieu, who he's said to have been dating since 2018. Gyllenhaal is 38.

And while he hasn't confirmed the relationship, Cadieu was spotted attending the play's opening night. Hopefully, she didn't have to line up at the stage to get his attention.
