\n\tWhoever said dreams don\u2019t come true in Hollywood? <\/p>\n
\n\tOwen Cooper<\/a> got his wish of meeting acting idol Jake Gyllenhaal<\/a> as the Donnie Darko actor paid a surprise visit to the Adolescence<\/a> star in a sweet video shared by Netflix<\/a>. The 15-year-old, who made history as the youngest nominee in the Limited Series Supporting Actor category<\/a>, was interrupted during an interview by Gyllenhaal, a fellow nominee in the Limited Series Lead Actor category for Apple TV+\u2019s Presumed Innocent.<\/p>\n \n\tJust days ago, Cooper appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/a> to reiterate, \u201cI want to get there [to the Emmys<\/a>], do all the media and then just chew Jake Gyllenhaal\u2019s ear off all night,\u201d adding that meeting the Brokeback Mountain star is his \u201cnumber one\u201d priority.<\/p>\n \n\tIn a clip compilation preceding the two\u2019s eventual meeting, Cooper called Gyllenhaal his \u201cfavorite actor of all time,\u201d saying he \u201ccan\u2019t wait to meet him\u201d and would \u201clove to\u201d collaborate with the Nightcrawler star.<\/p>\n \n\tCut to: Gyllenhaal walking down a carpeted hotel hallway en route to meet Cooper. With gift in hand, he admitted, \u201cNow I feel nervous. I\u2019m excited.\u201d As he entered the room, yet unseen by the young actor, the interviewer prompted Cooper by asking him what he would say if he met his inspiration in real life: \u201cI don\u2019t know. I\u2019ll just stare at him. I don\u2019t really know. I\u2019ve got no words,\u201d Cooper answered.<\/p>\n \n\tUpon noticing Gyllenhaal, Cooper was certainly struck speechless, turning away to process his shock at the reveal. The two then shared a hug as Gyllenhaal presented him with a token featuring an inscription on the bottom, saying, \u201cI made this movie [Brokeback Mountain], and I got nominated for an Academy Award, and a friend of mine sent me this before. Something just like this. It\u2019s just a \u2018Lucky Duck\u2019 to keep in your pocket. To give you a little bit of luck.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI just came by because he\u2019s just been talking about me too much, so I just figured I\u2019d stop it, I\u2019d stop it and get it done,\u201d Gyllenhaal joked as the two took pictures and Cooper thanked him for his time.<\/p>\n \n\tNominated alongside Javier Bardem (Monsters: The Lyle And Erik Menendez Story), Bill Camp (Presumed Innocent), Rob Delaney (Dying for Sex), Peter Sarsgaard (Presumed Innocent) and co-star Ashley Walters, Cooper is seen as the frontrunner and favorite to win his category<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Emmys air tonight<\/a> on CBS and Paramount+ with Showtime at 5 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n
