Jake Gyllenhaal defends Heath Ledger

‘Brokeback oountain’ star Jake Gyllenhaal got himself into a spot of bother in oontreal after dancing on his table in a bar. The impromptu jig seemed to offend a fellow drinker, who reportedly commented, “Hey, isn’t that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?”

A disgust Jake asked a bouncer to “get this guy out of my face” and had him escorted from the club. End of story, right? Wrong – the man is now claiming that the actor also pushed his female companion about 10 times before Jake’s friends pulled him away.

Jake’s rep has immediately come to the ‘Prince of Persia’ star’s defence, saying this story is “libellous” and that “no-one was shoved or hurt”.
