Jake Gyllenhaal Immediately Regrets Calling Elizabeth Olsen an "A—hole" on Hot Ones

By Jenna Anderson

Jake Gyllenhaal's recent appearance on Hot Ones is catching attention for his accidental diss of a fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe star. While appearing on the food-related interview show to promote his role in Guy Richie's The Covenant, Gyllenhaal poked fun at the toothpicks and wet napkins available alongside the plate of hot wings. When Gyllenhaal asked "What a–hole used a f–kin' toothpick?" host Sean Evans revealed that it was actually WandaVision and Love and Death star Elizabeth Olsen.

"Oh, sorry Elizabeth," Gyllenhaal remarked with a laugh. "She's, like, literally the least a–hole I've ever met so, I'm sorry."

"Walk that one back, Jake?" Evans asked.

"I absolutely am walking that back," Gyllenhaal lamented. "Gimme 14 of the Apollos, I'm sorry."
