Eminem versus Jake Gyllenhaal: What are the odds?




Eminem was once eyed for the lead role of boxer Billy Hope in Southpaw. The part went to Jake Gyllenhaal, but Eminen produced the soundtrack.

Recently, Eminem appeared on a public access show with Stephen Colbert to discuss the project, among other things.

In one moment, things got a bit heated between Colbert and Eminem.

So we asked Gyllenhaal, if he had to get into the ring with Eminem, who would win?
"Yeah. Huh. I’m going to say, I’d give it to Em. I haven’t met him in person."
What about a grudge match between Colbert and Gyllenhaal?
"I’d give it to Stephen too. That was brilliant, just brilliant. What’s weird is that I usually watch Only in Monroe, so it was surprising to see the two of them on the show."
It was indeed brilliant. Watch it here.
