[Updated with more pictures] Hello stranger! Jake Gyllenhaal watches the Lakers v Spurs with Chris, 8 February

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's glad to see this face again! Or should that be faces...? After a busy weekend eating in every restaurant and cafe in Austin, Texas, Jake Gyllenhaal is back in LA, and it looks like he may have brought someone back with him. Yesterday Jake and old friend Chris watched the Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs, giving Jake the chance to model a new hat.





Updated to add a lovely picture from The Mirror, from an article that talks a bit about the other celebrities in the crowd. It also provides vital information on The Hat: 'The 29-year-old, appearing in the upcoming Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, is wearing a Mellow Johnny's Bike Shop hat, from cycling legend Lance Armstrong's store based in Austin, Texas.'


This picture is from My San Antonio.


And now I'm delighted to update the post with some lovely pics from IHJ. You can see more there. Thanks to them!


That perfect smile...





Includes pictures from Getty and IHJ.

For me, it's 9/10 good (or maybe 10/10?... I feel generous today)

Is the hat from this place?

(owned by Lance Armstrong, no less...)

Thank you!

Hey Uli! I thought you'd be pleased :D

I added another lovely pic to the post.

Message to Karen: I had a look on the C4 listing for 19 Feb and they have a different band listed. Do you know where you saw the info?

Love these pics!! And I love that hat :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Good to see you Paola! Posting at the same time! You are spot on :D I just updated the post with details of where the hat was from with a link. I was just thinking about you *) Hugs back

I'm never going to get any work done now...

Yes, I noticed you updated the post while I was writing, eh eh...
Hope you're doing well.
It's freezing in London today, but tomorrow I'll be in sunnier climates, well... just 4-5 degrees warmer actually, but that suits me... I haven't been in Rome since Christmas, and it's Carnival week now, so lots of parties and good food to be enjoyed...
Hugs

Tas said...

Trust WDW. THE place for all Jake 'N' Friends photos.

And Uli put it so well!!!!!

On one to ten? How about a million? Awwwww! Seeing that first picture made me unreasonnably happy. :D It's so good to see Jake having fun again, just hanging out with his friends and family. How about a pic with Austin next? Maybe biking?

I love the last pic, he looks gorgeous!

10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So good to see you, Chris!
I saw his profile on a social networking site and he seems to be incredible. He is a fan of the Boston Red Sox!

Uli said...

LOL, Tas... Yeah, what else could you say seeing these pics! It has been too long, definitely too long....

It looks like they swapped places at some point...

And from what I see, I like Jake's jacket a lot...

Uhoh, curious colleague next to me... Gotta go!
Huh? My word: talar
New word: cluggily :D :D :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Have a lovely time in Rome, Paola :D I do hope it is warmer than here...

Chuckle :DD Thank you Tas! Good to see you here :)

Hi Olympia! OMG these pics have put such a smile on my face too. So good to see Jake with friends, and yeah, cycling pics with Austin would go down a treat as well. Good days :D

Definitely Monica! I'm such a Chris fan - it was so nice to see around Martha's Vineyard last year. I still can't believe I made it there.

Hey Uli! it does look like they moved around a bit. You could introduce the Curious Colleague to Jake :D

Anna said...

*happy, happy dance* !!! :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Waves to Anna! Nice dance by the way...

yay! I am so happy to see Chris again. I was wondering where he was. I think Jake needs some guy time, I am glad he is out and about. I wonder if Maggie and family are staying with him until after the oscars

thanks

so they are in LA for this game? I wonder what Jake was doing in Austin(Unless he was visiting Lance)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Sweetpea! Peter gets his award at SBIFF in a few days (Santa Barbara) so maybe they'll all head up there for that.

Yes, this is in LA. Jake was doing all sorts of things in Austin by the sound of it, but one reason was to go to the 30th birthday party of a friend of his, David Modigliani. My invitation was lost in the post again...

Updated the post with other pics, including gorgeous ones from IHJ!

get real said...

It is great to see Jake and Chris hanging out! Love seeing the two of them. :)

Jake is looking great in all these fantastic pics. :D

Anonymous said...

I see his eye for the ladies hasnt left him - checking out cheer leaders

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Get Real! He really does :D

Hi Anon, I have no idea how that cheerleader sitting down in front of Jake can focus on the gmae!

Anonymous said...

you added more pics didn't you :D

thanks WDW

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Sweetpea! Yes - I mentioned it above and renamed the post :D Aren't they fab?!

Anonymous said...

Anonymous said...

Yay new pics of Jake, but who is chris? :P

Does anyone else notice Jakes right eye? Well it would be Jakes left, but our right..if you get what i mean.. It looks slightly droopy :P or swollen, im not sure. Like a recovering black-eye.

Ruby said...

Is all that cheerleader cleavage really necessary?

Nice to see Jake and Chris and Jake's new cap!

Btw WDW is thoroughly lubricated and says 'hello' and 'more Shiraz please'. :D

Ruby said...

Hijacking Ruby's account to say hello!

Hey X!

Silver - Chris is Jake's best friend, the cook from Martha's Vineyard and we've not seen him for a couple of years. We've missed him!

So... where's that Shiraz?

Ruby said...

^^^^ that was WDW.

As I said she's thoroughly lubricated! Which means she has consumed a more than small amount of alcoholic beverage. :)

Anonymous said...

LOL! Seems like some people are having a nice evening! ;)

You girls are lucky, I have to work overtime tonight. :(

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks to Rubes for keeping me well-oiled this evening. Jake likes his pizza and so do we. Er Chris is hot and Jake isn't

bad either.

Winterbird said...

Hello Stranger indeed!! :)

and note to the purple cheerleader, Jake is sitting behind, so they are not looking at you.

Very good pics! Jake looks charming and happy! Maybe it's the company, you know? :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Apologies for the unseemly gap in my comment - entirely due to the profiteroles.

Hi Winterbird! Hope you're having a great time!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Just to say that I realise that, as Chris hasn't beeen seen for a couple of years, if anyone would like a recap of this much-loved person in Jake history, just email me (email address on sidebar) and I'll do my best to fill you in!

KeepCalm+CarryOn said...

Just had to de-lurk to perform a virtual cartwheel (the only kind I can do,to be honest ;-) ) of unalloyed delight!
Just thrilled skinny to see Jake hanging out in public once more with the adorable Mr.Fisher (Fischer?)! Looks like they had a great time :-) Wonderful stuff!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Good to see you, Nadine! What a good day :D

Anonymous said...

Has it really been a couple of years?? Gosh, I can't believe it. But thinking it over, I do remember seeing them photographed at the US Open in Sep(?) 2007...
Can't remember any other sightings later than that...

Anonymous said...

In reply to Silver, I do think Jake's left eye is slightly bigger than the right, depends on picture, but I noticed that a long time ago...
Not that it makes him any less perfect IMO...
:)

Gretchen said...

Anon 16:09 - what's that even supposed to mean?ugh.i'm so tired of people like you.

aw Jake looks adorable,love his jacket.and he's wearing a white shirt again.mmm my fave.Chris looks good too.is that other guy also a friend or just a random person?

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Paola! I think there were sightings of Jake and Chris in NYC late in 2007 but that was it - good to see, eh?!

As for the eye thing, Jake's eyes have always been a bit skewey and I like it :)

Gretchen - just take a breathe and see the good. It's an innocent comment and, if it isn't, just ignore it.

Jake looks so good!

Gretchen said...

oh i'm calm,it's just these kind of people pop in every once in a while to say stuff like that,i usually ignore them but it gets annoying.
sorry if i was being out of line.

good night WDW :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

No worries :) It can be annoying, Gretchen, but it's just best to ignore. Have a good night!!

Karen said...

Hi WDW, its on IMDb tv listings, it came uo when I searched Jake's name, here is the link:

http://www.mydigiguide.com/dgx/wbl.dll?a=18&h=26&pid=151366&SSKeywords=jake%20gyllenhaal&dir=1&sip=1&sic=0

Don't know if this will work it's a bit long!

Perhaps it is wrongthen, thought it sounded a bit strange!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Karen! Thanks for the info - we must keep our ears open :D

Karen said...

yes it's maybe wrong, sorry for my typo's it's been a long day, sounds like you had a good night though! Great pics, looking good ;D

Karen said...

Hi again WDW!

Just had a look on Channel 4 website listings for 19th Feb and if you click on Rude Tube at 22.50 it shows the next programme as the Vampire Weekend video and says the same as IMDb TV listings so perhaps it is right??? I have never heard of this band before have you?

BBMISwear said...

OMG I logged on to WDW about 3 hours ago and got pulled away from my computer and FINALLY got back here! Jeez! Don't these people get that tonight is a night to look at pictures?!?!

10! 11! Someone said 1 million - yes! 1 million! It's been way too long that we've seen Jake with *any* friends and Chris being 'our favorite' then all the better! Ahhhh. Jake doing things he enjoys doing - imagine that?! LOL!! Good for him! Loving this. :-)

I have scrolled through the photos on IHJ again and again and with each scroll through I pick up more and more. Wow. How can on line pictures make one's day? But they can!

Ahhh, WDW...Martha's Vineyard. What memories, huh? Where's the picture of Chris' tomato?! I want to see that tomato!! LMAO!!

Rubes, did you feed WDW too much Shiraz?! (As if you twisted her arm...ha ha)! Sounds like fun. Wish I had joined in (I'm only how many miles away)?!

That music video sounds interesting...hope we can find out more.

Go Sox!!

Gotta go look at those pictures some more....

:-)

paulh said...

I love the expression on Jake's face in the first two pictures. Chris is on one side of Jake in some pictures, and the other side in some others. They both seem to really get into the spirit opf the game.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Good morning! What a night! Thanks so much Rubes :D I think I'm a pizza convert.

Hi Karen! Ooh that's great! Thanks so much for checking again - I missed that little pop out box with the info in it. I wonder what on earth that is about? Definitely gonna watch that!

Morning BBMISwear :-) These are definitely special pictures - love them! Aaahhhh Chris' tomato, I remember it well. Did it make it off the island? We certainly didn't eat it.

Hi Paul :D It does amuse me for some reason also this seat swapping. Jake looks so beautiful in these shots.

Have a good day everyone!

Interesting that a photographer can actually take more than fifty photos of a guy watching a basketball game with friends.
Some celebrities court publicityduring their "down time" like heat seeking missiles. Jake isn't one of them, so he has my sympathy, as much as I love seeing him.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Anon! I must say that I love these pics, and Jake doesn't look bothered. I think it's a public event, Jake's there in the front row - a real perk after all - and you have your photo taken. But elsewhere, so few photos :)
