OK, I’ll hold you to that. In this movie Tobey again will be seen as a great actor. A lot of people just remember him as Spiderman – do you think people will be surprised?
Yes. It’s like when I worked with Heath Ledger. When we started working together I think people were blown away by his performance in the movie (Brokeback Mountain). I don’t think people expected that from him. At least that’s what I heard that from the journalists and people who saw that movie. It is wonderful to see someone who everybody talks about. It is wonderful to hear. It is wonderful to have either fooled the people as he has done or to have been honest in the way that he has been that they go, wow!.

My thanks too, MiilAn, for posting this interview but I'm having trouble understanding exactly what it is that Jake is saying so perhaps you or others can help me out. My problems really start with those three "wonderfuls":
1. "It is wonderful to see someone who everybody talks about". Is Jake talking here about seeing Heath's performance on the screen or seeing him in real life as they're very good friends or both?
2."It is wonderful to hear". Is Jake saying it's wonderful to hear people praising Heath's performance? I suppose so.
3. "It is wonderful to have either fooled the people as he has done or to have been honest in the way that he has been that they go, wow!. " This is the statement that I find the most puzzling. What is Jake implying when he says that it's wonderful that Heath has "fooled the people"? Likewise how has he been "honest in the way that he has been"? In his performance as Ennis, perhaps?
Sorry to be so slow on the uptake but any help would be much appreciated.

My interpretation: Jake is essentially comparing Tobey's performance in Brothers to Heath's in BBM. Like with Tobey in Brothers many were surprised that Heath was capable of giving such a great performance in BBM. And Jake is saying that it's wonderful that they surprised people and put in an honest (realistic looking) performance.
I've mentioned it before, but I don't think Heath's iconic performance in BBM can be compared to Tobey's in Brothers. And Heath sure had some great performances before Brokeback, not as great though. :)
