Jake likes to keep his dates 'for other places'

All evening I've been resisting the urge to do a second post - there is so much going on about Jake Gyllenhaal and it's all good. I succeeded until now. The reason for my lack of will power is this interview by Extra.com in which Simon Cowell's lucky gal Terri Seymour gets to interview Jake for a second time and Jake is on fine flirtatious form. He gets the colour of her dress wrong from their previous meeting, but does she care? I think not. Jake may be there dateless (despite the odd glance at the scarey and familiar bodyguard) but if it were a walk along a moonlit beach, then there would be a date. 'This is my job... I like having dates for other places.'


For everyone who said that Jake was growing the beard for Brothers - you were right. Jake owns up to it here - 'I'm growing a beard'. Yep, we noticed. And, he says, it's for his film that is about to start shooting (giving us some idea about Jake's look in Brothers). So, all those who needed more proof that Brothers is going to go ahead with Jake in it, I think this should do it. One wonders how much bigger the beard has to get though...


Now here's an interesting thing - Jake says in this interview that he filmed Ellen Degeneres' show the day before the LA premiere (she liked the Interview cover and features - and who wouldn't?). So it looks like Jake will be staying in NYC next week. As for the title of Most Eligible Bachelor? 'I've been wearing it for a couple of weeks now, and it feels good!'

I'm glad you gave in to the urge. ;) Thanks so much for all the clips. Ah, flirty Jake - gotta love him. I would have chosen "the beach at sunset" as well, not that it will do me much good. *sigh*

I spotted him on E! News tonight. At the mention of the beard he said "It's nice to touch, and to clean things with, like countertops and stuff". *LOL*

I was wondering the same thing, how long the beard is supposed to be for "Brothers". It's still 3 weeks until November!

Could Terry Seymour be any more annoying?

If Rita Cosby had an English accent she'd be Terry Seymour.

I reckon by the time Brothers starts filming Jake's beard will look like this. And quite frankly, that scares the bejesus out of me.

Oh no! I should not have looked at that pic right before bed. :D Long enough to clean countertops - OK - but not the floor.

What a flirt!!!! Loose the beard, not attractive.

I seen the shorter version of this interview tonight on Extra. Really enjoyed the longer version, thanks WDW!

It is a bit scary to think that Jake's beard is probably going to get alot bigger. He looks much better sans beard. That face is just to handsome to hide.

I agree too, that Terry Seymour can get on the annoying side at times in interviews.

Jake certainly can be savy in interviews, and knows how to deflect away from certain topics.

There do seem some worries in the US that this film isn't going to do the business, which may explain why we are getting so much promotion over here. Reviews still seem fairly mixed, but I'm holding off until I can pass judgement myself.

Oh, and Jake doing the play is now on the IMDB gossip pages, giving it a new level of credibility!

Oh I loved this one..THank you!

Beach, sunset and Jake. I couldn't concentrate on anything else...apart from the Ellen show of course. I don't know anything about that, I wonder is it's aired already?

And he's on Jonathan Ross tonight...oh we are getting spoilt this week!

Welcome to the UK Jake!!

Morning everyone :) Thanks so much for the comments - what a late night last night but I'm so glad you enjoyed this video clip.

Neely - That's a great quote! I'll use that later :D

Maybe he had to grow the beard early for screentests etc.

That is scarey Felicia - I'm also hoping it doesn't turn into a beard like the one Brad grew some while ago...

Hi Anon - I do enjoy a bit of flirty Jake ;)

Hi Jantoinette - glad you liked it, and I agree that face is too handsome to hide.

Hi bmg - isn't it great to see all the stuff in the UK? For Zodiac there was hardly a thing.

Hi Rosiet! Thanks for commenting. Ellen's not been screened yet. It's on the schedule on the front page - off the top of my head Thursday I think.

Oh yes - it's Jonathan Ross Day! Get those videos, DVDs and recorders ready.

Xenia said...

Thanks for the vid WDW! :D

I hope Jake will leave to Italy right after his NY busy schedule is done...:)

About Jake's beard I think that one of the gazillion reasons he's so attractive to me is that he's not afraid to look less attractive...and I don't find baerded Jake less attractive at all.:)

My week-ends are Jake-less as always but I place my high hopes in you all!!

Happy Jake Week everyone!!! And thanks for kicking it off so brilliantly WDW :) What a great video! Jake must have been reading my mind, I've had many a fantasy date with him on a beach at sunset! Not much chance of that in wet miserable London, but it feels a lot less wet and miserable knowing he's here right now:)

So the beard's going to be a permanent fixture for a good few months then:( Oh well, Jake with a beard is still about a milion times sexier than any other man alive.

Yes, Happy Jake Week everyone!Loved the video, WDW - he's so charming. I do love the beard, the way he has it now is perfect, attractive and sexy I think. It would be nice to touch! And the beach at sunset or moonlight *sigh* better than a premiere any night.

Hope all of you in the UK enjoy Jake on JR tonight (I know you will!) and tell us all about it! ;)

I agree WDW, I think he might need the beard for the preliminary stuff before they start shooting Brothers. I'm also hoping that maybe he gets to shave it off during the movie! (smile). The Extra interview was sweet. You have pulled together such a great collection.

Hi everyone!

Quick fly by telling UK readers to buy the Guardian today - there's an advert with an offer to see Rendition for free at a number of cinemas on Thursday 18th. There's a code. Any problems, email me.

Cherita said...

Thanks again, WDW, for finding something I hadn't known existed in the Cinemax bits. Can't wait to get home and save them forever. Love Jake and Peter together! I'd pay the price of a movie ticket and more just to watch those two interact for 90 minutes.

Everyone who was betting on the beard being for Brothers was correct! I still doubt he needed it this early, but who knows.

I am trying to prepare myself to be on a perpetual high for the next week. Don't know if I can stand all the Jakeness!

Hey Bobbyanna, I like the thought of Jake shaving the beard off in the movie :D It would totally worth it just to see that! have I ever mentioned how much I love the shaving in the truck mirror scene in BBM? well I do - a lot;D

Xenia said...

Bobbyanna, I DO think he will shave (at least also) during the movie, just to mark the passage from isolation to a more mature and empathic phase of his life...just a (yummy) thought...:)

You did stay up late last night,WDW! That "Extra" video was great,with Mr.Flirtatious giving it some. So funny when he turned round to identify that stony-faced bodyguard with the sense-of-humour by-pass as his date for the evening.

It's so savvy of Jake to say that he tends not to take a date to premieres etc because it's work. So much easier to keep the private stuff private that way. He's deflected speculation before by taking his lovely sister with him on the red carpet. Good on him for being up for doing these appearances on his own and not feeling he has to have a trophy girlfriend hanging off his arm to prove what a man he is. We don't need any proof that he's a special kind of man anyway,do we?

I know what you mean about the romantic fantasies,sunset beaches with Jake etc,TL,only I'm never in my fantasies,I'm just a fly-on-the-wall (or on the palm tree,seeing as we're talking beaches here)and Jake has a someone else as a co-star in said fantasy. Who would that be? I couldn't possibly comment ;-) Why am I owning up to this in public?! Should I shut up now,before I incriminate myself?

I've tried to find out via the websites of my 2 local cinemas(local being all of 15-20 miles away ;-( ) if they have "Rendition" showing as of Fri 19th but their listings only go up to the 18th. Looks like I'm going to have to go against my principles and call their rip-off phone lines,because they're not answering my e-mails either! I think I'm going to have to mail you about those Guardian preview showing,WDW,just in case,by some miracle,there's one happening out here in the sticks!

Is it just me,or is everyone else really restless,jittery and full of butterflies in anticipation of JR tonight? Can't settle to anything.I have my tape set up and primed but the Obsessive/Compulsive in me will probably have me checking it a few more times before the show starts...and I have 2 spare tapes on stand-by in case of disasters. Maybe I should just get some therapy! :-{

I'm terrified of tonight! What if Jordan trips and accidentely suffocates Jake with her implants? What if he breaks his leg slipping on a patch of Peter Andre's chest oil? What if he does us all a favour and crushes Jools Holland's fingers in the green room door, thereby sparing us all from yet another classic song 'reimagined' with honky-tonk piano?

Oh, Nadine - what a great post! You've said everything I'm feeling right now:D
From the fly on the wall thing (Jake and I have an open fantasy relationship;) ) to getting stressed at the local cinemas' inability to update their sites beyond the 18th, to going out of my mind waiting for 10.35pm tonight and checking over and over that everything is ready to record this momentous event!!
Talk about Insania (sorry, but someone had to say it!)

KeepCalm+CarryOn said...

I think we may have been separated at birth,TL! And I get goosebumps at the BBM shaving scene too (amongst innumerable others)! So reassuring to be among kindred spirits :-) xxx

LOL at your nightmare scenario for this evening BMG. God forbid that those pneumatic boobs come anywhere near our Precious(mind you,in a room as small as the Green Room on JR,Katie P. will have everyone surrounded!).

Jake at Heathrow from JustJared!! Looking adorable and all smiles! :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi everyone! I'm so late home this evening and I've got some technical problems... But good to see you all and not long at all now!

I emailed you Nadine :)

I know what you mean bmg - I'm so nervous for Jake but I'm sure he'll be a huge success - just hope Jordan behaves herself..

Hey Twisted Logic - it's a pain that cinemas only announce their schedules on the Monday or Tuesday. I got tickets for the preview - it's meant having to take a day off work but well worth it!

Hi Get Real - they're wonderful pics aren't they?! And they're in the new post.
