[Update] Jake Gyllenhaal leaving a family dinner and back with a smile at the Medical Center, 29 January

[Updated] Sometimes Jake is like a London bus - you don't see him for weeks and then there's a whole bunch of Jake on the same day. Here is Jake Gyllenhaal leaving a 'family' dinner last night. Source. Thanks to Silver for the heads up! Here's hoping another one will come along soon...


Updated again! Many thanks to IHJ for these! More pictures from Jake leaving the dinner last night. This top one should be accomanied by flashing Chest Hair hazard lights.


Could this be Naomi behind Jake?





On with the post!

Thank heavens for the Beverly Hills Medical Center - just when Jake Gyllenhaal senses that we are missing him almost too much to bear, he pops back to the Center. So, not only does he make us happy, he also manages to put in some extra hours at the Center before he has to go off and do his other job. Looking good, Jake!


You can see the video here, which demonstrates just what questions one should not call out in the street. But Jake is cool, smiley and relaxed throughout. Many thanks to IHJ for the pictures -they are the perfect antidote to a dodgy encounter with a slab of vegan gluten-free banana cake.





A couple of days before, 27 January, Maggie Gyllenhaal was seen at the same Medical Center - maybe she was dropping off Jake's packed lunch.


I think this parking lot has a special reduced parking rate for paps, with a mug of tea and a bacon butty thrown in, judging by the number of paps who hang out here.

Pictures from IHJ and here.

Hi there Anon! It's clearly the place to be all right :D Jake looks soooo good :)

Incidentally, for any Brits with a Wet Sam thing... TDAT is on C4 tonight at 8pm and it's Barry Norman's Film of the Day! Good old Baz :D

I'll have to hang out at the medical center. Seems all the stars end up there eventually.

I've heard the paps ask stupid questions before. Like he'd really talk about his breakup.

I'm just glad to see he just ignores them and keeps on going to his car.

It seems Maggie and family are sticking around in LA for a while. I wonder if she or Peter are doing any business while they are there. Certainly hanging out with Jake I'm sure

Hi Sweetpea! Asking stupid questions seems to be a necessary qualification for many LA paps. I don't know why they'd imagine they'd get a response. Jake just looks so cool and relaxed here!

I think Maggie and Peter have both been doing work in LA, but I'm sure there's been plenty of times for Jake to rustle something special up in the kitchen :D

Wow, he looks great! :) Glad to see him around again.

My word is Aphislar - sounds like a movie.

BBMISwear said...

Lovely indeed! And I think I just said something along the lines of "he'll show up at the Medical Center soon enough" - LOL! That was quick! It seems like everyone is showing up at the Medical Center these days. I just love how he bops along ignoring the pap's questions, smiling, chuckling. Good days, good days. :-)

To Silver: Here is the link to my and Ted's story about meeting Jake in April 2008:

http://dontwanttosaygb.livejournal.com/

If you don't have a Live Journal account it's free and only takes a minute to sign up. Once on Ted's (dontwanttosaygb) journal you will have to ask to be friended - he will get back to you fairly quickly with an OK and you'll be set to read. We let just about anyone read it who asks but just like keeping track - there's been hundreds of people who have read and many commented. It really was overwhelming how so many people reacted. Please let me know what you think once you give it a read!

Sorry I took up so much space here on this...the 'Excellent Adventure' story is a sure fire way to get me going...LOL!

Happy Saturday continues...

:-)

Ahhhhhhhh! I hadn't realized how much I missed seing him out and about until I saw the pics. Damn he looks good! Those are really great pictures. And that smile! It's so nice to see him looking so relaxed. :)

I hope BBMISwear posts the link to her Jake encounter, I couldn't read it when she posted it back then, I didn't have an LJ account and it was friends locked.

About the last post, I never had to read Catcher in the Rye in school because I live in a french province but hearing Jake and you guys talking about it made me curious so I got it yesterday. Can't wait to read it.

LOL, BBMISwear, I took so long to write my post you had time to post your link. Thank you!

Olympia

Wet Dark and Wild said...

He certainly does, Anon! Ooh, good word :D

Good days indeed, BBMISwear :-) You can rely on him turning up there sooner or later. And looking so good! I love the white shirt, and can't forget the Nike. And those broad shoulders make a handy shirt carrier :D

Thanks for the link to your Adventure. How I love it. And it means so much to me as I've had the chance to talk it over with you and Ted. I love to hear everything about it :) Now all we need is to get Jake down the pub and ask him too!

Hi Olympia! Chuckling at you and BBMISwear posting at the same time about the same thing :D

I am thrilled that the post encouraged you to buy Catcher in the Rye - I really hope you enjoy it and I wanna hear what you think!

It's a good day today :)

SQUEEEE

Jake in HD!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Anon! This is definitely one of those times I wish I had an HD set! I'm enjoying settling down to Wet Sam :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

^^^ My dad called me to tell me it was on :D

Anonymous said...

Awww, that's so nice of your Dad. :) How great of him to support your Gyllenhaalism. :D

Olympia

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I know, he's great! He's going to try and see Brothers now :D

Anonymous said...

OMG! Is this International Wet Sam Day? I just saw that TDAT will be playing in here in french tonight! LOL! Maybe I'll watch it just to see what Sam sounds like in french. :D

Olympia

Wet Dark and Wild said...

OMG Really Olympia?! You must watch it! There's a lot of TV on here tonight about our recent Big Freeze so it was begging to be shown here tonight.

I saw on YouTube the PoP trailer and Jake dubbed into Italian :D

BBMISwear said...

This has me laughing: "Sometimes Jake is like a London bus - you don't see him for weeks and then there's a whole bunch of Jake on the same day." Too funny!! And all we had to do was mention it enough (well, some of us - me - were border line whining) and now we're getting what we asked for! Like a London bus!

I'm so looking forward to hearing what WDWers who haven't read 'the meeting Jake story' think of it after you read it. It's my pleasure to share it with those who I know appreciate it. You'll see what I mean when you read it. Oh yes, WDW, let's get him to the pub and get him talking some more!! And he sure loves to talk as everyone knows!!

I think I've discovered the 19th thing Olympia and I have in common (are we up to 19?) - I went out and got Catcher in the Rye yesterday too!! Did you go to Barnes and Noble as well - LOL?! Like you, after all the talk here I felt it had been way too long since I've read it and needed to read it again.

Loving your Dad getting in on Jake things WDW. Maybe he will comment here some day?!

Ahhh...smiling, relaxed, happy Jake pictures. Can't get enough!

:-)

Hummm, I think we're up to 20, BBMISwear, the hockey was number 19 if I remember correctly. :DDD But I didn't get my book at Barnes and Noble. Phiewww, that would have been down right scary! :D

WDW, I'm worried they'll give Sam a weird french voice. It must have been hilarious to hear Jake in Italian. :)

Olympia

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I think we have to keep up the whining, BBMISwear :-) It gets us a doubl dose of Jake! Ooh you put Catcher in the Rye too - am I due a royalty?

Hey Olympia! It'll be funny to hear, as was hearing Jake speaking Italian with an English accent!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Er... my dad just called again to ask which one was Jake...

BBMISwear said...

Okay, so I figure if I do one or two things around the house in between hanging out on line with fellow Gyllenhaalics then that can be called a fairly productive day right?

You're right Olympia - hockey was #19 so we're up to #20! I thought the same thing WDW - you are helping the JD Salinger estate with book sales this weekend! And I know we helped out with Moonlight Mile DVD rentals back in August (I have to be sure to try to get word to Brad Silberling about that).

:-)

BBMISwear said...

Your Dad needs to visit this site more often WDW! He will never mix up Jake and those other dudes again!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Chuckle! A lot of people did tell us they were gonna rent Moonlight Mile because of our escapade, BBMISwear :D

I did point out that Jake was not Dennis Quaid...

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Looks like Jake had a busy night last night! Jamie Foxx's pre-Grammy bash I bet that was a great night!

BBMISwear said...

Busy Day...Medical Center, family dinner, pre-Grammy party! (Is it too soon to whine for some pictures from the pre-Grammy party)?

get real said...

Squee!!! Love seeing these pics. He looks great in both sets. Nice to see him with family. Cool that he attended JF pre Grammy's party. Will be on the lookout for those pics too.

This was much needed. :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Oh I do hope there's pics, BBMISwear :-) I'd love to see Jake with Jamie again.

It's been a good day, Get Real :D

paulh said...

If Jake ever has a momentary forgetful spell, and can't remember where he was on a particular day, all he has to do is pop in here and see if there pictures of him coming out of a medical center or coffee shop or Whole Foods Market. :-)

Today I saw "When in Rome." There's good news and bad news. The bad news is that there were no Jake links in the movie. The good news is that several of the actors had worked with Maggie Gyllenhaal in "Great New Wonderful." Another cluster formed around movies that Anjelica Huston had been in (she was in this movie as well). One actress who played a grandmother at an Italian wedding earlier played Anjelica's mother-in-law in "Addams Family" and "Addams Family Values."

There are pictures of Jake and Jamie on IHJ

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Paul! That's so funny! Jake can definitely find a record of his Medical center visits here :D I'm glad you enjoyed When in Rome, I've heard some mixed reviews of that one. There aren't too many films showing near me as the screens are still sucked up by Avatar and Sherlock Holmes...

Thanks Anon! How good it is to see those :D New post!
