Jake Gyllenhaal, Jeff Bauman Hug Each Other Tight As 'Stronger' Filming Finishes

The last day of filming brought the inspiration behind forthcoming movie "Stronger" and its lead actor together in an emotional moment this week.

Jake Gyllenhaal shared the embrace with Chelmsford native Jeff Bauman on Facebook, commemorating the final day of filming on the Boston Marathon Bombing movie.

Wrote Gyllenhaal, "That’s a wrap on filming #StrongerMovie! It was a pleasure to work with director David Gordon Green to bring Jeff Bauman’s story to life."

The film is based on Bauman's book of the same name, and chronicles how Bauman lost his legs in the finish line blast, and the road to recovery that followed. Gyllenhaal, of "Brokeback Mountain," "Donnie Darko" and "Zodiac" fame, stars alongside "Orphan Black"'s Tatiana Maslany, who plays Bauman's girlfriend.

The movie will be released in 2017.
