Constellations Star Ruth Wilson Talks Multiverses, The Brilliant (British?) Jake Gyllenhaal & Weird Clowning Days

Constellations star and recent The Affair Golden Globe winner Ruth Wilson stopped by Late Night on January 19 to chat with Seth Meyers about her pre-awards tequila shot, her Broadway bow and her terrifying clowning days. The play follows Marianne (Wilson) and Roland (Jake Gyllenhaal) through multiple variations of the key moments of their relationship. Wilson has her own British accent to bring to the stage, but what does she think of her costar’s? “It’s brilliant. I think it’s one of the best I’ve heard an American do.” Take a look at the interview below, in which Wilson also recounts her strange acting school days, including being asked to sexually pleasure her imaginary horse. As one does. Catch Wilson and Gyllenhaal in Constellations at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
