Parkour! Jake Gyllenhaal hints at what's in store

Remember this description of the original Prince of Persia script? 'Parkour is finally going to be given a worldwide audience with Prince of Persia. Because of the incredible athleticism and shape you have to be in to practice Parkour, I would think that narrows down the choices to play Prince of Persia’s lead character – DASTAN.' Well, here, reminding us - should we ever need it - that we are in for a treat next summer, is Jake Gyllenhaal modelling a PoP memento.



Many, many thanks to IHJ for giving us another look at Jake out and about yesterday (February 27) - this time visiting a medical centre in Beverly Hills. And as if the front view isn't enough...

Where's that beautiful shapely butt gone??? Great minds think alike WDW. I've fallen in love with the Prince of Persia film already and I've been watching PoP stuff all day and trying to catch his English accent... still can't decide. Oh well, only 14 months to go :o(

Jake is a walking, talking advertisement that I'm ready and willing to buy into. Nice to see him out and about with a new cut. But I've been wondering for some years now whether he's really a secret ginger. Only one way to find out I suppose... any volunteers?

Hi Sheba :D Those jeans are definitely a tad on the large side - hope he doesn't trip over them - but just look at those arms :P and the hair and that beautiful face - sigh... At least we can be relatively sure that PoP will come out and won't be delayed - again...

Jake's always played around with bits of colour in his hair - I really like it with the red, puts so much depth in his hair, especially when it's all unruly like in this weekend's pics. Love it :D Love the shirt!

I love the tee, but the jeans are someone else! :P

but who knows maybe that's the latest LA trend of men's fashion. *g*

oh no... I don't think he's a ginger, Sheba! But I think sunlight and hair products would add different shades to his hair, more like highlights... I think he might be a light brown baby and later grow up to be darker brown as most people do.

OK WDW, I'll go look at them again.

I was thinking today about Jake walking, running and jumping on walls and how convincing it's all going to be. I'm sure he'll be just as amazed at the film as we are. I pray that it will become a trilogy.

Also, I hope he gets back to work soon as I love seeing him in an official capacity, promoting, doing chat shows etc. And I'm longing for Nailed and someone to adopt it and distribute it already.

Hey Winterbird, I'm just in a naughty mood tonight - I know Jake isn't a real red-head but I also know there's only one sure-fire way to find out *blushes* ;DD

It's just such a whole new experience for Jake and us, Sheba :D I bet he does such a good job with the Parkour and the idea that he has a t-shirt like this makes me think he found it so cool. I'm hoping that the signs suggest some work is on the way - whether publicising or beginning a movie. I really hope so, more than I can say. These pics kinda put me in a naughty mood too :P

I'm watching Zodiac. I just love this film. Hope everyone's having a good Saturday - it's been a good day - full of Jake :D

Hey, Sheba! Calm down, girl! although it's true, the boy's real purty.

Resource for Parkour shirts? OK I do know how to hot google. hee hee.

Checking out the Vanity Fair video - I think the "bedhead" effect is due to both the haircut and Jake's messing around with it.
It IS sexy.

Thanx as always WDW for your sterling devotion to matters that matter.

"warmica"? you betcha!

Hey Pia! Great to see you :D I don't think I've ever seen Jake look hotter than he does right now. The hair is very sexy, amazing considering how Jake's hidden it for so long. It's a pleasure *)

Zodiac said...

there's only one sure-fire way to find out *blushes*

is everyone thinking what i'm thinking? *blushes even more*

Advertising yourself much, Jake?:)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Zodiac! I'm sure they are :D fortunately, I'm too long in the tooth to blush... I'm also sure that Jake is well aware that this t-shirt is going to make people think of PoP - and I like that, I like this confidence. Hope you'e having a good night!

Morning! I hope everyone has a smashing Sunday :D

Mmmm....nice! Is all I have to say. ;p

Great to see everyone on this lazy Sunday. We are expecting a major snow storm...ugh.

Carol said...

Jake is looking sexier than ever these days. I love the hair:)

I was at the Ireland v. England rugby match yesterday so at the train station now with a major hangover so these pictures are just what I need.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday.

Nice pictures to come back to after a day without acces to the internet. I wish he wouldn't look so grumpy though and I agree his jeans are definitely too big!

Yesterday was a Jake kind of day for me. I spent the day in Montréal (which was not that cold, Jake ;) , and very sunny) and had a lot of fun. I was hoping we would have time to go to the public library where TDAT was filmed but we didn't. And TDAT was showing on french (canadian)television yesterday evening. A couple of times during the day I wondered if I was somewhere Jake had gone when he was filming. No way to know for sure but it was fun to think he might have!

Have a great Sunday everyone!

Hi Get Real! I heard about the storm on the way - I hope it's not too bad for you :D we've been spoilt here - very mild and quite sunny, but another cold snap on the way - nothing like you get though... Wrap up warm :)

Hey Carol - that must have been some match! Well worth the bad head, I'd say :D Have a good evening.

Ooh, that sounds great Olympia! Thanks for telling us about Montreal - the coldest place in the world according to Jake ;D It is fun wandering around thinking if you're treading in those footsteps... Glad it's sunny :D
