Jerry Bruckheimer turns to Internet to find stars

LONDON - Jerry Bruckheimer found a child actor for his new film ‘Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time’ through Facebook.

The helmer was searching for a 10-year-old boy to play young Jake Gyllenhaal.

“In the opening there’s a young man who portrays Jake Gyllenhaal as a young boy, and he was a Parkour (jumping and climbing sport) expert,” the Daily Express quoted him as telling ShowbizSpy.com.

He added: “And he’s ten years old. It’s amazing. Absolutely amazing. They sent us online, like Facebook, things of these kids and this kid was extraordinary so we hired him.” (ANI)
