Jake Gyllenhaal pronounces his name, Ben Kingsley can't spell it

All this time, we've been mispronouncing Jake Gyllenhaal's name. We always thought it was 'Jill-in-hall.' Turns out it's actually quite different.  And quite a mouthful.

Jake carefully explains how to pronounce his "ridiculous" last name to a British TV interviewer. "It's Yil-En-HOO-Le-Hay," he says with a straight face.

The interviewer also asks his "Prince of Persia" costars how to spell Jake's confusing last name and only his love interest, Gemma Arterton, can do it right.

But on the upside, we do find out that Sir Ben Kingsley cannot spell at all and has to use spell check every five words.

Can you be a knight without knowing how to spell?
