The 29-year-old actor – who is rumoured to be dating country singer Taylor Swift – believes being in your 20s is the best age to fall in love because it is the first time people are getting to balance adult responsibilities with fun.
Speaking to E! News on the red carpet at the New York premiere of ‘Love and Other Drugs’, he said: “Love is definitely blinding in your 20s. I don’t know – it’s just so great and so awesome.
“For the first time there is a seriousness to it because you have responsibilities in your 20s you don’t have when you are a teenager and so you have to deal with those responsibilities.
“You know you can’t just wonder out into nowhere thinking about how amazingly in love you are, you have work or college to deal with. So appreciate that – people who are in your 20s and in love!”
According to reports, Jake spent £100,000 flying in ‘Love Story’ singer Taylor to London while doing his ‘Love & Other Drugs’ promotion in the UK last week.
A source said: “Jake wanted some quality time with Taylor. If he hadn't done this, they would have missed each other as he had to fly back to the US. He hired a jet which would have easily set him back £100,000."
