The 29-year-old, whose first big role was cult film Donnie Darko, believes that he still has a way to go to achieve the same level of success as others in the business.

When asked how he feels about his leading male status, Gyllenhaal replied to Total Film: "I don't see myself like that at all.

"That's very result-orientated. I've been like that at different times in my career, but at this point I'm not. I think people look at me a little bit like that, but I don't."

Gyllenhaal admitted that he feels out of place among actors like Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage.

"I've been the lead in a lot of different movies but it's never been about that. It's funny. I was at some event for Prince of Persia and Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage were there. And there I was standing with them thinking, 'What the hell am I doing here?'" he laughed.
