If you ever meet Jake Gyllenhaal, then whatever you do, don't badmouth Sean Paul. Just don't do it.
The Spider-Man: Far From Home actor and his co-star Tom Holland recently appeared on BBC Radio 1 for a classic game of "Unpopular Opinion." If you haven't heard of this before, it's basically all in the name -- random members of the public ring in, give an unpopular opinion about something, and then the celebrity guests chat about it with host Greg James.
And everything was going smoothly this time around until someone called Brandon called in to say he thinks Sean Paul is overrated.
"No," says Gyllenhaal, immediately. "Just hang up on him. Sean Paul makes every song better he's in. Absolutely, there is no... he's a genius. There's not a song he's on, or remix that he's on, that isn't good."
And later, after some impromptu Sean Paul gets played, he gets even more passionate.
"There's not a moment where he comes on the radio where you're not like, come on!" says Gyllenhaal. "He makes driving fun. I don't care what you're doing. You could be stuck in traffic and he comes on and you want to dance. Doesn't matter. Totally disagree. That is an unpopular opinion. Now I understand the game."
From there the whole show very quickly turns into a Sean Paul sing-a-long.
