Jake Gyllenhaal Sees Legal Blindness as a Career Advantage

The actor reveals how his vision impairment has uniquely benefited his performances and personal life.

Gyllenhaal has been legally blind since childhood, wearing corrective lenses from age six.
He believes his limited vision helps him focus on emotional aspects of his roles.
In 'Southpaw,' he removed his contacts to enhance his performance in a key scene.
Gyllenhaal's latest projects include 'Road House' and the upcoming series 'Presumed Innocent.'
Despite his blindness, he has embraced challenging roles and continues to seek new opportunities.
