Jake Gyllenhaal - Making the ordinary hot

Jake Gyllenhaal is extraordinary, in more ways than I can list, but today I thought I'd take a brief look at how this most remarkable, not to mention blisteringly hot, man spends his days - when he's not in Morocco and performing dazzling feats with a scimitar, a minaret, a horse and a feisty princess. When he's back home, Jake often has to do the same things as you and I, although admittedly he does it hotly.


Jake is considerate with those who love him.





Jake has to deal with pet issues.




If you need a photo taken in the street, Jake will oblige.


Jake has cars and they all need juice, and not all via an electric battery. And even Jake can forget in which of Beverly Hills' identical car parks he left his vehicle.



Jake also has a need to fill his home with clutter and his bedside table with home improvement magazines. And how to deal with all that choice on the supermarket shelves...?




When Jake travels he has to check in like you and me, he has to take off his shoes and have his laptop vetted. However, he might get a better seat.




Jake has a healthy appetite and it can grip him at any time. He also needs condiments.



Beverly Hills is a small world and that means bumping into friends and colleagues.



Sometimes, even the most beautiful check themselves out.


Just because you're famous, it doesn't mean that you remember in which pocket you put your lighter.


Police still need help with their enquiries.


If you have an itch, you have to scratch it. And if you want to draw on your arm, why not?



But Jake is particularly good at doing this... And this is most definitely not something anyone can do.

Thank you, Pia :D I'm glad you liked the post. It intrigues me and amazes me how Jake is just like us in so many ways but then in others he's unique. He does the two very well. I guess that's what makes him special and me smitten :D I love the picking his nose pic too! Always makes me chuckle and always makes me want to sneeze... Thanks for the kind words :)

Good night, Wet Dark!
Your post is great!
I love it all the photos with the lovely Atticus!
We also liked the way Jake looks at the baby of Tobey!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning everyone - Friday at last :D

Hi there Monica! I love that picture of Jake looking at baby Ruby too :D

Have a great day, everybody!

What a cute post! :)

I guess one reason why Jake is so well-loved by people who have met him is that he seems genuinely interested in people, he probably makes him feel like they are important to him or that he's interested to hear what they are saying...

Something I could never do and I admire him for having this quality :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks, Winterbird :D I think that is very true that Jake has a real interest in people. And the way he can look at people. No wonder he's so loved :) Hope you're having a good day!

Jake is a beautiful man (have I ever mentioned that before? ;)) and whatever he does or says is enchanting to me (yes, even when he's picking his nose, I'm that helpless). I know I'd be under the spell of those eyes and lips and body... :)

Thank you WDW, another precious post in this neverending jakelessness...

I wish you all a great weekend!

What I like about those pictures is that they all show Jake enjoying life, no matter what the circumstances. If he's ever unhappy, you can't tell it. Chances are, he really *is* happy.
Truth be told, I like Atticus, and I think Jake is lucky to have such a nice dog. If they can bring "Marley and me" to the big screen, maybe a movie can be made about Jake and Atticus (not using their real names, of course...)

Very sweet post!! :D

Jake is just adorable and you can't help but fall in love with the way he does make the ordinary very sexy and sweet. I know it is a horrible habit but he does look sexy with the cig in his mouth. :p

And I loved the last post too! Jake being called a lovely kid by a co-star always makes me smile. I am really getting excited for PoP. And here's hoping we get some good news on Brothers.

I did have to roll my eyes at the ridiculousness of that Repub idiot. Ugh...is all I will say to that ignorance.

Have a great weekend
everyone!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks Xenia :D I think you have called Jake beautiful before.... ;D Like the enchanting!

Hi Paul :D I think Atticus looks like a dog with character and he seems to adore his master. I bet he's missing Jake. Although Jake says he thinks too much it would be nice to think he is a happy person.

Hi Get Real! I hate the ciggies but I can let him off now and again, and Jack Twist was a very sexy smouldering smoker. I loved the 'lovely kid' thing too. What a nice and affectionate thing to say about Jake.

Friday! YAY! I just found out I can save eighty dollars a month on my health insurance.

Will repeat what a nifty post, WDW - I love the headline: "making the ordinary hot" - it's clever and it's pure Jake - for me part of his attraction - his joyful spirit, his delight in the "ordinary" - even in himself!

I dont understand why Brothers is not getting more buzz, but perhaps there is a method in the madness - even if not, I can't see how it can miss -

Surely there will be fall talk show promotion? Geeze, this autumn is gonna be a real cliff hanger all the way around - Id say wake me up when it's over, but I guess I can take it.

Hope everybody has - a weekend. :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thank you, Pia! That 'delight in the ordinary' is something that really appeals to me about Jake too. He's like us but so different too. I just can't imagine what they plan to do with promoting Brothers. I sometimes think it will continue being quiet until the 11th hour and then explode. But I'm sure there are discussions going on. We can take it :D

Thank heavens it's the weekend...

*resurfacing*

Great post, WDW! :-D He looks d*mn good doing ordinary, every day things. And those pics bring back memories...

HUGS!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Nanna, great to see you! I hope you and your's are well :D Great memories, and I hope we get more soon. Big hug back *)

Can't we stay here awhile and watch Jake pick his nose?

I luv this post.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thank you, Pia :D We can stay here all you like. Everyday Jake is a Jake I want to return to over and over :)

"Can't we stay here awhile and watch Jake pick his nose?" [Pia]

Of course you can, Pia! At least you didn't ask to pick it for him. For that, we have a rubber room...
