Jake Gyllenhaal wants to start her own family.

The 'Nightcrawler' star, who is currently single, can no longer wait to settle down with the right woman. He said: "I want to grow up. Hopefully with my own family." Until then, Jake takes care of his sister Maggie's daughters. He tells People magazine: "My sister raised two wonderful daughters. They are great girls. It's fun to send them home with a lot of sweets, because it's like saying," Have fun, Mags ! ' A little revenge on the sister who forced me to do strange shows at my parents' dinner parties. "

His family seems to be of great importance to Jake, after all, he was also inspired by his grandfather Samuel Achs, who had worked as a surgeon before his death, for his role in 'Life'. The actor explains: "Although it's not a complete homage, there is a piece of him in there. I thought about him a lot while I was making this film." Dr. Achs had died three years ago. As his famous grandson reports, the medical professional was probably not very pleased that he and his sister Maggie decided to live a life in the spotlight. "As brilliant as it was: I'll never know if he took my job seriously. But I know that he was proud of me anyway."
