Jake Gyllenhaal gave Adolescence star Owen Cooper a good luck charm before the 2025 Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 14. In a social media video shared by Netflix ahead of the awards show, Cooper, 15, was asked who he was most excited to see at the ceremony. "I think everyone knows that Jake Gyllenhaal is my top, No. 1," Cooper replied. The clip then cut to show Gyllenhaal, 44, walking down the hallway to surprise Cooper, saying he felt "nervous" and "excited" to meet the talented teen.
