Jake Gyllenhaal running with The Trainer, 12 January, and this is why...

With the Golden Globes dispersed amongst the mantelpieces of the famous and beautiful, normal service can now continue. And, judging by this week, that must mean Jake Gyllenhaal is back running the LA streets with The Trainer. Thanks to IHJ, here are Jake and said Trainer out for another run that looks like it means business, this time yesterday (12 January).


So... I've been putting my thinking cap/beanie on and pondering why Jake has been subjecting his poor feet to so much toil lately. This is what I've come up with - other suggestions are welcome.

1. Lance Armstrong has selected Jake as the new LiveStrong sports collection catalogue model.
2. Jake is roadtesting a new make of sports shoes, after years in which his feet have moulded into the Nike shape.


3. Jake is continuing a fitness regime that can only mean that a new film is in the offing and soon, and not the sort of film where he would play a couch potato - but maybe a footballer? Maybe a coloniser of space (the moon, say)?
4. Jake is producing a fitness DVD, like many other stars in the post-Christmas season.
5. Jake ate too much over Christmas.


6. Jake has realised he cannot live without Hotel Chocolat Marzipan Chocolates and this is the price he must pay.
7. Jake is trying to give me, and other lardbutts, a guilt complex.
8. The Trainer has a new movie role and Jake is The Trainer.


9. Jake likes to get out and about.
10. Jake has lost his car keys.
11. Jake is in a rush.
12. Jake knows we like it! But sleeveless next time please, Jake. I thought you knew that...


Many more pictures at IHJ.

Great post WDW!!

Anything that means pics of exposed Gyllenhaal skin is perfect for me ;O)

Why was he running?
I think there's something of #3, #5 (some #7?) and #9. What I'm sure of is that I agree with you in #12 ("Jake knows we like it! But sleeveless next time please, Jake. I thought you knew that...")

Yes! Sleeveless next time, Jake!!!!... or much better: SHIRTLESS. PLEASE!!!!

See you!!

Ruby said...

I suspect with No 6 you may be either projecting just a little, or those are the ones you have left over and want to give away. :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Sara! Glad you liked it. Oh yes, Shirtless would be much, much better - maybe next time :D

Hi Rubes! I had Hotel Chocolat Marzipan chocs for Christmas and Mr WDW ate every single bleedin one of them :( I'm not bitter... I bet noone nicked Jake's.

Talking of chocolates...

Anonymous said...

Haha... all good plausible reasons.... great post, WDW

Or he could be doing that because he reads this blog and just trying to tease fans like Uli who can't make up her mind about his hair! LOL...

Jake: I like your hair - hat or no hat! me me me!

paulh said...

Number 7 is the obvious reason. ;-)
Guilt complexes are all that we can certain about in this world. :-)

Who ate too much over Christmas? Well, me for one, but Jake is almost certainly too virtuous for that.

Sleeveless shirts? That is reserved for only the hottest weather, which nobody north of the tropics is getting at this time of year. Go easy onh Jake. Aren't short sleeves close enough? He probably didn't have to go short-sleeved, but he knew his fans would want to see them, so he was nice. :-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Winterbird! I've been thinking of Jake jogging away while I've been tucking into my gnocci with tomato and red wine sauce and rhubarb crumble :D That's the reason - To tease Uli! Our attitude towards Jake's hair is much more sensible :)

Hi Paul :D I fear you're right. My guilt complexes are abundant and well fed. I do hope Jake got the chance to overindulge a little at Christmas. After all, if you don't indulge, you can't have theguilt, and where's the fun in that? But... shirt sleeves are not enough and never can it be said that they are. But, yes, very nice of Jake to let us see some muscley arms even durng this wintry time.

My word is blameli - why? what has she done?

Anonymous said...

Hello kids!

I'm happy to be back home, but my heart is so twisted...
Anyway, I love even the scent of my house!

Well, I agree with the guilty thing, the teasing too (shirtless would be good though), and I love the idea of the trainer of the trainer...but I think Jake is running in order to clear his head, because he can't stop asking himself:"who is this lady I dream of every night? Gosh...I love her accent!"

Hehehe!

Ohhh...I love that thought!
;)

have a good evening, Gyllengirls.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Monica O - I hope things are going ok :) Thinking of you.

!ell, I thought Jake may have been thinking about this lovely gal from southern England but maybe I was wrong! A good thought! Have a good evening :D

JoeAnn said...

He does seem to be working out rather hard for a movie that is just about wrapped. Maybe the reshoots(?) or whatever is they are doing on the PoP set involve lots of shirtless scenes. We can only hope. Or else it's reason number 7.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi JoeAnn! Yes, it looks to me like Jake is in training for a role still - whether it's PoP or something new on the horizon is open to question :) or it's reason no. 7!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

^^^ but I still like the idea of Jake doing a sportswear catalogue or workout DVD :D

Anonymous said...

The Trainer has a crush on Jake. It's obvious. He is looking at him rather lasciviously.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Slightly Drunk Zodiac!! You do wear it very well :D And who can blame The Trainer, that's kind of how I'm looking at Jake as well, but in a good way :D Cheers!

Anonymous said...

Yeah, he's making me feel guilty.

I have an excuse though it's too damned cold here to go outside and exercise and I'm waiting on a replacement part for my treadmill! So take that Jake! No? ::hangs head:: I know lame excuses.

That last picture with the lady in the big hat make me lol! It's like, LADY! That's Jake behind you turn around! (or maybe she wants Jake to THINK she's going to start walking in the opposite direction ;))

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Amy! That lady demonstrates why big hats are a NO NO in LA/Santa Monica - they put you at risk of missing Jake and, as such, should be left at home. Leave the hats to Jake, that's my motto.

I'm missing a part for my treadmill too :D Actually, I have the part, I just don't have the treadmill...

Ruby said: I wonder if the fine-looking little tea leaf handed in the camera while he was picking up his coffee.

No but each coffee cost $749.50.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi No Wonder He Got 2 Mediums :D Posting at the same time. A few more and he'll have paid it off :)

I thought NY Wall Streeters were bad but those California actors sure buy the expensive coffee.

Zinquirilla said...

Hello!

A question: Do somebody speaks spanish? thanks!

p.d.: my avatar is a photo. It's a castle, regards wdw!!

Hola!

Una pregunta: alguien habla espaƱol? gracias!

Ruby said...

Hola!

Dos cervezas, por favor.


That's the extent of my Spanish, I'm afraid. :(

Anonymous said...

I made it 86F/30C today in L.A. and if Jake doesn't take the damn shirt off temps are gonna be higher tomorrow.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

It's expensive, American Express, but it's damn good!

Hi Zinquirilla! I can't speak Spanish at all but I think there are some Spanish speaking readers here so I hope they say hello :D I do like that picture!

Hey Ruby, errrr.... San Miguel?

OMG Mother Nature! 30 C?! I'm going to sit and sulk now. If Jake is happily roasting in such gorgeous temperatures the least he can do is take his shirt off to raise the frosty temperatures here? And if not, why not?

Atticus said...

I dated hot little chihuahua and when we was gettin hot and heavy in my doghouse she always bark "si! si! si!" so si! only Spanish me know.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Atti, unfortunately I'm laughing too much to post a meaningful comment, but what a beautiful story!

Anonymous said...

Nice, new pics of Jake running and all sweaty...me likey. ;P

But we need more shirtless pics, Jake, SHIRTLESS!

Since it is freezing here and only supposed to get colder, I am jealous of the warm sun in LA.

I also really liked the pics of him getting coffee. I love the haircut.

I do wonder if all this exercising is for a new movie? I just want to see Nailed and Brothers first.

xoxoxo

Anonymous said...

Atticus, you scare me!
hahahha!
Please take the image of my big handsome Atticus getting hot with a little chihuahua off my head!! Call the brain surgeons!
(oops...forgot he's not mine)

Zinquirilla, my spanish is invisible...I know it's here somewhere...but I just can't find it!

Mother Nature, I hear you! I say 42C and he takes it all off. Go!!

JoeAnn said...

Zinquirilla, yo hablo espaƱol. Lastimadamente, tengo que salir para el trabajo ahora, pero vuelvo dentro de unas horas y podramos hablar de mi novio Jake. Ja,ja. Bienvenida a WDyW. Me encanta este website y la dueƱa es muy simpƔtica.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Get Real! Sweaty and shirtless Jake would be a great way to warm up through these cold weeks. We've had it very cold, now had a day of slightly warmer rain all day and now we're due more cold! This is not right, Jake must lose the shirt! If I want anything in 2009, it's to see Brothers and Nailed.

Hey Monica O - Atti has been unfaithful! It's not a good image...

Hi JoeAnn! thanks for answering Zinquirilla - no idea what you're saying so I'll just nod wisely. Are you talking about beer?

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks for a very fun evening! Take care and see you tomorrow :D

Atticus said...

I not unfaithful WDW. Me was young when dated Miss si! si! si! it was.. *scratches ear* .. 23 years ago and me hardly remeber the bitch. Last I smelled the slut ran off with a coyote.

It hot here WDW. Daddy stay in house naked but me I stuck with fur coat. help.

Anonymous said...

Oh now Atti gave me the best image ever! Thank you, honey!
sorry about your coat but...god bless the heat! (and your eyes)

It's hot over here too. 86F and up today, but I see no naked Atti's Dad around. That's kind of sad, you know...

Monica O.

JoeAnn said...

Nope, not beer, lol. Although after the long day I had a little cerveza doesn't bad like a bad idea!

Anonymous said...

Sleevesless, sure. But better yet, SHIRTLESS!!! Mmmm Yum!

Uli said...

Huh? Somebody mentioned my name? LOL! At least the hair looked good at the GGs, a bit better coiffured (is that even a word?) than the other day...

You gave some very valid potential reasons for Jake working out! I sure hope it's not #4, though...
I'd like it to be #3 or #11!
#7 would be kind of mean... LOL! (On the other hand it would be good, cause I already feel my new years resolutions slipping from memory *blushes*)

Hugs of sympathy for sweating Atticus. I am not sure if I can think clearly today, though, since you put some pretty strong images in my head ("Daddy stay in house naked" Mmmmmh...)

And hugs of symphathy for everybody in freezing cold... It is still getting warmer here ("only" -7°C here this morning), but the forecast is talking about rain in some areas - rain on frozen ground, not really a good thing... Ugh!

Have a good day everybody! :)

He, I went through a bunch of verificatioin words now - the last one is tragagg... Huh?

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning everyone! Good to see you, and Atti, thanks for the image of naked Jake! Much appreciated on a very cold, frosty and foggy morning.

Hey Uli, sounds like you're getting a heatwave :D Monica O, can we have some of those temperatures, pleeeeese! Hi JoeAnn and Dailing!

Anonymous said...

I couldn't see The Tower of London today - it's covered in fog... urgh... and so cold and damp. So yes, a sleeveless (or better, shirtless) Jake would be much appreciated.

That's the order for you today, WDW :)

oh... I just noticed from the first pic that the Trainer has "fangurl" eyes on Jake...LOL.

my word is "pictrock" - show us a Jake picture that rocks!

Anonymous said...

So how much do you think Mr Personal Trainer pays Jake to run with him?

Anonymous said...

The price to run with Jake depends on how much clothes he wears. Two examples: (1) double thickness sweat pants + Lycra orange bike shorts + turtleneck sweatshirt + long sleeved tshirt + hoodie + gloves + knit hat = manageable cost with 10 year finance plan. (2) Swim trunks + sunscreen = If you have to ask you can't afford it.

Anonymous said...

(3) Sunscreen only = be richer than Me.

Xenia said...

Very funny post WDW, it made my crazy-busy-at-work-day a little lighter. :)

Oh I truly hope all this running is for #3 if not for the mere pleausure of sweating and getting exausted...

But, if there will have to be one, I want my own copy of LiveStrong Catalogue and one of that fitness DVD even. To better choose my sport clothes and do my gym exercises in front of TV, of course.:)

Ahem...interesting shorts Jake...;)

A good day to everyone,freezing cold here as well.

Uli said...

Xenia said: Ahem...interesting shorts Jake...;)

*goes back to look*
Um, do you mean the shorts in pic #4?

My word: quitis! No, Jake, I could never do that...

Carol said...

Good post WDW:)

Made me smile through the stress of work today when everything that can go wrong is. The only thing that could make it even better is if a few shirtless pictures appeared:)

I hope that all this training is for #3 but I'm getting impatient to see Brothers and Nailed at this stage. We've been tortured enough with all the waiting.

The weather here is so miserable today - really cold and non-stop rain. Hope it's better where everyone else is.

Have a great day:)

Xenia said...

Um, do you mean the shorts in pic #4?

Exactly. Shallow,huh? :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi there everyone! Thanks for the comments! I've been enjoying them on a very unpleasantly busy day :(

Hmmm, good idea, we should encourage Jake to go swimming!

My word is amperero - isn't that a type of penguin?

Anonymous said...

LOL and God, you crack me up! I'm laughing hard over here!

I love the sunscreen-only-outfit.
*saving money from now on*
hahahha!
Jake swimming? hmm...are there paparazzi under water? I hope so!


(I'm having a lot of fun with the boiling hormones on this page!!)

Did I beat you? :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey everyone! I've been out this eveinng - Ruby how did you get back before me again?! Do you have a private jet??

I'm gonna sulk while watching Jaws...

Good to see you all :D Hi Zinquirilla and Hormonica O - OMG chuckled at that one! And hello 2celebs and Peds!

Hope you're all having a good evening, I feel guilty, I've been out induging and having fun while poor Jake has been running again!

Ruby said...

I told you - teleportation is the way to go!

If I said that I ran home with Jake's trainer, I'm guessing that you wouldn't believe me?

My word is Ouritio. Sounds like the best friend of a Shakespearean hero or someone who gets killed in the second act.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I would not believe you Rubes, although The Trainer's looking pretty fetching in ruby red today!

Shakespeare can be a little depreesing - I'll stick with Jaws. I apologise for my spelling this evening, I blame the Chocolate Glory pudding :D
