Jake Gyllenhaal Mourns Heath in Private

I was thinking about Jake Gyllenhaal yesterday and wondering why we hadn't heard anything about his reaction to Heath Ledger's death, considering the men has become best buddies on the set of Brokeback Mountain and Jake is Heath and Michelle Williams' daughter's godfather.

It seems Jake is working on a movie in New Mexico and is privately grieving for the loss of his pal. According to TMZ.com, while there were no immediate plans to shut down production on Jake's new film, Brothers, the set has been closed to all non-crew members, as Jake wants to avoid talking to the media right now.

Poor Jake.
