Jake Gyllenhaal is planning on becoming a carpenter when he quits Hollywood.

The ‘Brokeback Mountain’ actor already spends hours in the shed making furniture and would one day like to turn his hobby into a full time job.

Gyllenhaal told Britain’s Cosmopolitan magazine: "I like woodwork, building tables and stuff. I get excited about that."

"My dad was a carpenter for a while, so maybe it comes from that. I just enjoy it. It's incredibly calming."

"I made my mum a 10 foot table. It's a mahogany-cedar sort of craftsy table.

"I'm really proud of it."
