Jake Gyllenhaal is not only easy on the eyes, but he's pretty funny as well.

Especially when it comes to joking about himself.

While appearing on Friday's The Queen Latifah Show to promote his new movie Prisoners, the actor was asked if he was popular as a student.

"Yes, I was incredibly popular in school. All the time," he said with mock seriousness. "Yes. End of conversation, yes. The most popular all the time."

In fact, when Latifah inquired if such likeability has extended into his current everyday life, Gyllenhaal sarcastically noted, "Yes, everybody really enjoys me all the time. Everything about me. There is not one aspect of my personality that is abhorrent. Everything I do is shiny, clean, it's amazing. I impress myself."

"I love people who impress themselves!" exclaimed Latifah.

Meanwhile, Prisoners opens in theaters today.
