Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal and his sister Maggie were forced to flee from their holiday lodge in North California after fire swept through the property.
The fire appears to have been started by a falling tree, however it quickly took hold and time was critical for the two Hollywood actors to make good their escape. The area of Manka’s Inverness Lodge is a hive of celebrity bolt-holes with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall having visited the area last year on their US travels.
The Hollywood career of Jake Gyllenhaal appears well set for the future, after the mega success of Brokeback Mountain which took the film industry by surprise.
