Jake Gyllenhaal on Jimmy Kimmel Live

With so many thanks to Stephanie at IHJ, here is Jake Gyllenhaal on Jimmy Kimmel last night - with a new haircut! And we have more merkins, oh yes we do... and naked talk. This bodes very well indeed for Love and Other Drugs. And there are surprises...!





Off to watch.... and will be back. There will be an update for the Brothers TV special last night. I've updated the post with different versions of the Jake videos - also visit IHJ for HQ versions of these and the TV Guide Brothers Special.

More Jake in the Ashley Greene interviews...

Good morning everyone!

OMG Jake is hysterical - it's more than enough time since we could have some fun with him on a talk show and I can now totally see the point of a late night one!

That Steelers thing... :DD

I cannot wait for Love and Other Drugs!

So, as usual, the overriding and most important issue and question: What do we think of the hair? It definitely reminds me of when Jake was growing out the Jarhead. Looking good!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Meant to say - for all those in the Us...

IT'S BROTHERS DAY!!!!!!!!

If you can see it today, let us know what you think.

Please no spoilers though - thanks :D

And many thanks, Stephanie *)

Ruby said...

I love the hair. ;-)

Good interview. He's on form.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning Ruby Rubes! Looks like you've been at Jake's hair with the scissors again... :D

It's a very funny interview - Jake seems to spend his life being accosted by drunk women! And clearly Jake has the merkin on the mind - which suggests great things for Love and Other Drugs!

Uli said...

OMFG! What a breakfast treat!!!! Thank you IHJ and WDW!!!

I feel like "Jake is back!"

And the hair adds to the transported-back-in-time feeling. Definitely growing out the Jarhead!!!

So, what is it now? Crabs or no pubic hair? I wanna know!!! :D :D :D
I am still confused about the real nature of Jake's merkin, though... Is his one of those socklike kind of things I learned about related to QaF (I think they had a celebration where they burnt their socks at the end of the shooting...)? I wish Jake would have shown us his merkin and not only his tatoo... :D :D :D

Have a fabulous day everyone!!!

My word: rednemea (sounds a bit like something you should maybe cover up with a merkin, too...)

part one and the ashley greene interviews are showing errors, making them unwatchable. is there any chance of a re-upload?

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Uli! I'm gonna have to wait til I get home unfortunately, to get more merkin info :D have a good day!

Hi Anon - I've replaced the Jake videos with other versions. The Ashley ones play fine for me - they're also from the Jimmy Kimmel youTube channels so I doubt there'll be better ones. I suspect it might just be the streaming.

I've also removed the Unscripted video so that you won't have to listen to Jake's other merkin story at the same time! That would be odd :D

Ancient Rune: said...

Jake is ridiculously funny. I adore him!!! Clearly, merkin is his word of choice these days.(Wiki reference had me spewing soda!)
I don't mind the hair, he looks sweet. I want to touch it! LOL! But overall, I think I like him best with the "artsy poet" look with lots of scruff and longer hair.

LAOD sounds like a movie I will want to see multiple times. If it lives up to Jake's description, it will be the first time we see him in serious love scenes several times. Gwyneth doesn't count, because there wasn't enough skin. Jennifer kept them covered under bedclothes, and Douglas Freeman had to leave for work.

May I just interrupt our festivities for a moment to remember Richard Todd! He's passed away and he was 90! Time flies.

Ancient Rune: said...

One more thing. He called her "Annie." I loved that!

Anonymous said...

I noticed the hair! Usually, I like longer hair on him, but this shorter hair looks great on Jake. Also, in the opening pic they had of him, he looked really handsome. I loved the brown suit too, something about the fabric. LaOD sounds good too.

Jake's a comedian, a handsome one. I loved his Steelers tat, wish it had been the Patriots', but what're ya gonna do?

The clip they showed of Brothers made me teary, it was so real. They showed the police scene, but more of it. Seeing it this weekend, will be careful about the spoilers! :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey! Always good to hear some ancient runes :D jake seems to spend quite a bit of time on that wiki page, the amount he's been plugging it! And for Jake to be this preoccupied with his merkin, it makes me wonder just how much nookie there is in LAOD - A LOT I'm hoping! And now we're all going to be looking very closely...

I loved the Annie reference too - made me smile, that.

Sad about Richard Todd - I loved Dam Busters. But what an age and career!

Also I can't stop smiling about Jerry bruckheimer asweing my question! What a good day :D

Aren't the Americans up seeing Brothers yet??? I wonder who'll be the first one here to see it today :D Hmmmmmm

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Bertie! Posting at the same time :D I'm not sure about the suit as I thought the whole set looked dingy. But how handsome Jake looked - and I did like the tie. OMG what a giggler!

The tat was so funny! I think Jake's getting a taste for them :D

That is such a wonderful clip - sigh. Can't wait to see it. Enjoy it!

BBMISwear said...

The first thing I did when I woke up this morning (after pouring a big mug of tea) was go to my DVR and watch last night's Jimmy Kimmel show and OMG I honestly don't even think I have the words to describe how much I loved this interview!!

It is so good to see Jake in that setting we have all seen many times and grew to love so much (and missed so much these past couple of years). Humorous, Gorgeous, Charismatic, Flirtatious, Sexy, Gorgeous, Talkative, Bubbly, Animated, Gorgeous, Fun, Hysterical are just some of the words that pop into my head (okay...I guess I *can* find the words to describe it)!

The merkin talk just has me in hysterics...and the reference to Wikipedia again in which he practically quotes the description of merkins (as we know because we went there and read it ourselves)!! Oh and how he describes LAOD and "Annie"...GUH! Now we have to start that countdown too?! At least it shouldn't be as long a wait as Brothers!

Oh...and...one more thing: Tom Brady and the Patriots!! Whoowhee!! He's not just a Red Sox fan but a Patriot's fan too?! I love how fond he is of the area I live in (obviously all those months he spent here every year growing up stuck with him). That makes me smile. And showing us his gorgeous ass while displaying his "tattoo" was delicious! And staying put while guest number two came on set? Almost unheard of these days but so enjoyable!

Oh...the hair...LOVE IT!! (I guess I shouldn't have said 'one more thing' - sorry). I usually prefer his hair long but there's something about this cut that is really sexy on him. Definitely Jarhead grow out stage as discussed here but it is also reminding me of earlier days too. I can't exactly place it...I think it's more his facial expressions that's bringing me back to The Good Girl days or even Bubble Boy days. Those big eyes and animated expressions of his. Wow. Seriously, Jake not only looks like he isn't aging he actually is looking younger. How does he do that?! He looks so...happy. ;-)

Lookin' Good! is right WDW!! :-)

Overall my frustration of Jake not doing the *usual* big talk shows (Conan, Jay, Dave, Ellen etc) is over as him doing an "after midnight" talk show gave us joys that we wouldn't have seen otherwise I think. Bring on the Merkin Talk!!!

I still need to go watch all the other new stuff (thank you Stephanie!) but really can't come down from this one yet!

Oh yes...BROTHERS DAY!!!! 3 hours from right now I will be lost in all that is Tommy Cahill (and family). Holy S*#t!! I promise...no spoilers...I probably won't even be able to form a sentence.

So how's my "I don't have the words" comment going WDW?! LOL!! Olympia won't even be able to top this one! (BTW, yes you were missed that one day Olympia...God forbid a day goes by without a comment...ha ha)!

Everyone enjoy the day, night, the wonderful on line video clips, etc. etc. And the movie for those in the states...TGIF indeed.

:-)

Anonymous said...

LOL I thought that was funny from the Unscripted clip - when Jake said "I looked it up on Wikipedia". :)

They just had a review on New England Cable News of Bros. - a good one, and they called Jake a great American actor, praised his work, and Natalie's and Tobey's, and Jim's.

My word is absolyt - so I guess I'll have some when I get home from work tonight. Cheers! ;)

Have a great Brothers day, all -

Bertie

Oh, I thought Jake looked like a big hunk of velvety chocolate in that brown suit - good enough to eat! :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi BBMISwear :-) I do love a late night interview with Jake! I bet that wiki page is gettig some traffic. Funny to think of Jake reading it too! It was such a wonderful interview, and none of that awkwardness with Letterman. Jake is just so up for this sort of thing and he looks so happy and enjoying it all :D

Have a wonderful time seeing it!! And come back and form some sentences :D

That was funny, Bertie! And now we all have too! Ooh that sounds good :)

Love that description 14:12!!

Can't wait to get home and watch this properly and the Brothers special. And then maybe do some packing... My word is warypack. I feel like Blogger is nagging me to get organised!

Anonymous said...

Oh this is too good: Jake in a late night show, incredibly sexy, cheeky, almost childishly so... in fact, I agree with BBMIswear he's getting younger and younger, methinks...

When he mentioned the drunk woman accosting him I immediately thought, 'didn't the same happen again to him in London'?

Thank you for all the goodies, WDW, and have a safe and wonderful trip!!!

Paola

PS I have to re-listen to that amazing radio interview. Last night I was too sleepy to concentrate on it...

Anonymous said...

OMG what a tease!!! Come on Jake, show us your merkin! Ha! That's something a crowd could yell at him on a red carpet or something. I bet it would crack him up. :D Can't wait for LAOD and all that bare Jake. 2010 is gonna be amazing!

Wow BBMIswear, that was one monster comment! :D No, I won't top that today (I'm not making any promesses for the future, though. Ha!Ha!Ha!) because you said almost everything I was gonna say. :D That interview was great, Jake seemed so confortable. I feel like the sparkle I've been missing so much is back, this was so good. Do we know who "Sasquatch" is?

I'm surprised that I like the hair. It's a little bit too short for my taste but it looks very good. And I cannot believe how young he looks!

Have a good Brothers Day and safe travels to WDW and Carol. :)

Collymp McG...from somewhere in Wales said...

WD, I'm thrilled to pieces that Jerry Bruckheimer answered your question!!! It's always so fun to get a shout out!

I was also deeply touched last night, and thru out the promotions for Brothers really,because my Great Great Great Aunt Alopecia Merkin McGillicuddy got a shout out from two of the actors.

She is referenced in the Wikipedia several times and also cross-referenced in a number of 18th Century scientific journals.


I'm always impressed with how fashion forward Jake is. If you noticed his shirt collar and his tie, he was truly well turned out.
Brown suits him, tho I prefer the drama of black.

Jake was so devilish, showing that tattoo! Personally, I thought he gave serious consideration to showing more, but probably didn't want to offend the monastic sensiblilities of the Great Censor who watches over ABC.

I also think Jimmy Kimmel would have fainted away at Jake's sheer audacity. Now there's a word that suits him!

Gretchen said...

i loved the interview!i hope drunk women won't leave Jake alone so that he'll have these hilarious tales to tell. :P "crusted with placenta" lmao.(and who is this "Sasquatch"(lol) i can't remember seeing Jake photographed with a really tall guy.hmm.)

his hair!!(i guess he will shoot Source Code next, he's supposed to have short hair there right?seems a bit early but maybe they'll start rehearsing and he wants to be in character?idk.)i like his hair a bit longer actually.but i also like this hair on guys because it's so nice to rub,feels slightly spiky cause they're so short.aaah Jake my hands are itching!!! :3

Anonymous said...

They have test shots and wardrobe fittings, and other things related the the physicality of the character before they start shooting the actual movie.

I hope he needs a merkin for Source Code, too. LOL!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hello! Just got home and just finished packing - superspeedy. So I can settle down now with all the Jake bounties. Gonna focus more on the serious merkinness of it all...

Hi there Paola! He's looking very young :D Sigh... I'm putting that radio interview on my MP4 for the flight. Thanks for the email - I hope you have a lovely weekend *)

OMG Olympia! That catchphrase could catch on! I like the hair a little longer than that (although I love the Brothers hair) but I reckon it'll grown on me - hopefully, it'll grow on Jake as well... :D And thanks!

Hey there Collymp McGillicuddy! I'm so glad for your cousin - she must be very happy :D Like me and my PoP question. That was a cool suit - good contrast with the back tat I thought :D Oh and agreed about the censors... I think otherwise you're right about Jake wanting it all to come off :D

Hi Gretchen! Definitely hope Jake continues to be a drunk woman magnet. Every talk show should have one drunk woman anecdote. Along with the merkin of course...

I thought that about the hair too, they could definitely be thinking about Source Code now, getting the look right. Ooh, good hair talk!

Hi there 18:06 :D Excellent point! A merkin should be written into all films from now on - hear us Duncan Jones - along with the naked shaving scene.

Yay! Weekend! Thinking of all those in the theatres RIGHT NOW!

Silver said...

Quick Question, when was Brothers filmed?

And also..how is it possible for Jake to get younger instead of age..

Ania said...

The whole interview was fun but I almost fainted when I heard Jake saying "kielbasa" - if it's the only Polish word he knows I can teach him more (!!!) ;-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Silver! I know, it's amazing how young Jake looks here. Brothers was filmed from about Nov 2007 until about Feb 2008. A very cold New Mexico winter - I remember that we used to get daily weather reports and it was cold!

Good to see you again, Ania! What does that mean? Glad you enjoyed the interview :)

Nicole said...

Hey everyone! I stayed up late last night to watch that interview and I couldn't stop smiling the whole way through. I'm dying to go see Brothers but I promised myself I wouldn't go until after finals are over next week, it will be a nice graduation present to myself! Hope everyone is doing well!

Ania said...

I'm not sure if 'sausage' is the same thing as 'kielbasa' so here is the picture: http://bolemar.pl/images/kielbasa_%20torunska.jpg

winterbird said...

I bet Jake makes everyone googling merkins! That's hysterical! I love that he can talk about subjects like that freely and of course, he must be pretty good friends with Anne to be able to do that. Fun time.

Did you notice that there's always drunken women approaching Jake? Didn't that happen in London as well when he was there? mmmm.... I am guessing women just pretend to be drunk to approach him. lol.

Great interview - thanks so much to you, WDW and Stephanie. omg, I can't believe I watched the whole interview of that New Moon actress, I can't stand that franchise, but anything for Jake, heh? :)

oh yes, can't wait for Love and Other Drugs!

BBMISwear said...

Just got home from my first viewing of Brothers. Oh.My.God.

Intense. Has that word been used yet about this movie ?! LOL! Yes, that's the word - Intense.

These 3 actors, and all their supporting actors, were so incredibly great in this movie. It was amazing to watch all that talent on that big screen all at the same time. And Jake, Oh God Jake...this is the point where I can't form complete sentences. I'll just say I am completely in love with Tommy Cahill right now. You all will be soon enough, I Swear!

I will say there is only one thing I am not happy about in regard to this movie. I won't say more as I don't want to spoil for people.

I will be seeing it again tonight at 7:30PM EST. I think you are too Olympia, right? And I think Bertie tomorrow? And I think Carol as soon as she feels comfortable telling her friend she's taking off to go to see Jake Gyllenhaal - LOL! Not sure about Paul or any other people in the US. WDW hits ground tomorrow late afternoon and straight to the theater, right? You will be so glad you did. What a gift after such a long flight. What a gift he is. *heavy sigh*

Tommy. Wow. Okay.

I think that's it. More from the other Gyllenhaalics when they check in. I didn't realize how hard it is to talk about something when you're trying not to spoil (kinda like when my friends hold my hands behind my back and try to make me talk - I can't)!

Safe Travels WDW and Carol.

:-)

Get Real said...

Squee!!! Jake was absolutely adorable and sexy on JK! The haircut is great and that smile and humor. :D

Am about to see Brothers and an excited!

Have a great and safe trip to Florida, WDW. :)

Anonymous said...

Yes, I'm seeing it tonight. I just made the mistake of looking at some comments on Rotten Tomatoes that said there are many disturbing and violent scenes. Argh! What a way to spend a Friday night... :)

Your comment helps a little, BBMIswear, I hope I fall in love with Tommy too. :)

Olympia

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hello! Just done another post updating everything for when I'm away, so I can catch up with you tomorrow!

Thanks Ania!

Indeed, Winterbird, Jake is a drunken lady magnet. I did watch some of that Ashley interview - but with the sound off. OMG that poor dog!

OMG BBMISwear! I'm so glad to hear that you're in love with Tommy. I'm so glad it was what you wanted - I can guess what the disappointment is but I don't think I was expecting it. That's great you're seeing it again. I remember seeing Zodiac twice on its opening day in LA and then again the next day. We are so due a new film!

Hey Get Real! Enjoy and do tell us what you think!

Olympia! I hope it's not too disturbing for a Friday night. I love to think of my friends seeing this tonight. It won't be long and then we can see it here too :)

OK new post for chatting in while I'm on the plane tomorrow watching Star Trek again and the like :D

after many years of the absents of jake's interviews, this (thanks to WDW, btw) is the best thing ever. i love the video!
cant wait to watch brothers!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks so much, Dailing! I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Nicole! I just saw your comment! Good to see you - your comment didn't appear with the others in my email and I've been searching for it :D Good, good luck with your finals. Jake will be a fine reward for finishing :D
