Jake Gyllenhaal delighted his colleagues on the set of "Presumed Innocent" with his love for sweets!

During an exclusive interview with People at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of the Apple TV+ series on Sunday, June 9, Gyllenhaal's co-star Kingston Rumi Southwick disclosed that the actor surprised everyone by treating the cast and crew to delicious treats during filming.

"Jake bought ice cream trucks to set and it was a really good family environment with the cast, with the crew, with the directors and everybody. It's phenomenal," the young star, who plays Gyllenhaal's on-screen son Kyle Sabich in the drama, shares.

Southwick also shared that Ruth Negga, another co-star, was "definitely the trickster" during filming and was instrumental in helping the cast relax amid the “intense” shoot.

"She would [make] paper airplanes and write notes to people and would make everybody laugh, especially O-T [Fagbenle]. It just was nice to have those intense moments and have that real dramatic feelings and then feel good and then to laugh," he says.

The eight-part series is adapted from Scott Turow's 1987 bestselling novel, also titled "Presumed Innocent." It features a cast including Gyllenhaal, Negga, Fagbenle, Bill Camp, Elizabeth Marvel, Peter Sarsgaard, Lily Rabe, and Renate Reinsve.
