Gyllenhaal: 'Acting And Politics Don't Mix'

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal has ruled out running for office as he believes acting and politics should be kept separate.
The Rendition star has made no secret of his strong political views but would never follow in Arnold Schwarzenegger's footsteps.
He says, "I think it's a sad time when actors become politicians and politicians become actors, but actually the two roles do overlap.
"I don't want to run for office, though I am an active member of the Civil Liberties Union."
