Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds have been enjoying themselves during the Life press tour, descending into the sort of hysterical delirium that only endless interviews can produce.

Late Night with Seth Meyers was one of the last stops for Gyllenhaal and, perhaps not believing the actors’ budding bromance, Meyers asserted that Jake wasn’t so chummy with Reynolds that he could just call him up whenever he fancied.

Gyllenhaal was having none of this, whipping out his phone and FaceTiming the Deadpool star.

Unfortunately for viewers (although it did make me believe the moment wasn’t set up) Ryan didn’t pick up, but, in a subsequent YouTube video, Meyers revealed that he did in fact call back during a commercial break.

Gyllenhaal ran onto the set while Meyers was getting his mic sorted, casually FaceTiming with Reynolds and the audience. Ryan was pushing baby strollers at the time, though for some reason wasn’t pressed as to why they were empty.
