[Update] Some of the GQ shoot took place at the Spin table tennis/ping pong club where Jake had been due to compete in a charity tournament. So we may well get to see Jake play a game after all!
Jake Gyllenhaal was in New York City yesterday, ostensibly to do a shoot for GQ. The real reason was so that he could be photographed with every single person in and around Time Square. Not surprisingly, there was a Jake Scrum in the streets and a lot of excitement on Twitter, with pics here and here. No doubt, this GQ will coincide with Prince of Persia, as can be seen with Gemma Arterton's own GQ release. Jake looks like he'll be a little bit more wrapped up in his... Source Code director Duncan Jones, meanwhile, celebrated at a pre-shoot party.
Looking great, Jake! Here is just one of the tweets: 'Just saw Jake Gyllenhall in Times Square. Mob scene. But he is a good looking man!!' And another fun picture.
Updated to add another couple of great pictures from yesterday from here showing how Jake may have been aware he might have to get up to Montreal at some point...
Disney has released some more beautiful stills from Prince of Persia (here via IHJ), giving us another look at Clothes Line Jake.
We have another account of Love and Other Drugs from an early screening. We are promised (by an Anne Hathaway enthusiast) 'significant deep-down feeling plus some heavy love scenes with ample nudity'.
'It's pretty ambitious story about the mid '90s Viagra boom and selling pharmaceuticals for Phizer. Hathaway, Hank Azaria. Oliver Platt plays Gyllenhaal's mentor, and it's probably the best role he's ever had, and perhaps his best performance. He teaches Gyllenhaal the ropes, and he has a really great speech toward the end. The story line, which is basically about Gylenhaal becoming a pharma salesman, is fairly complex. George Segal and Jill Clayburgh play his parents. Josh Gad is the fat younger brother -- the Jonah Hill character.'
The reviewer doesn't have eyes for much else than Anne Hathaway but he does mention: 'There's some lame orgy in the middle of it with Jakes accidentally overdosing on Viagra...girls at a party make him swallow too much of it, and he won't go down, resulting in priapism.' 'Lame'? LAME???

Hi there everyone! So good to start a day with more Jake :D Jake the movie star before getting down to being an actor on set again tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWe were promised a storm today and either it didn't happen or I slept through it :D Have a good day!
LOL... I, too, wonder what he meant by "lame orgy", as compared to what? Roman orgy? :P
ReplyDeletethe twitter pics are fun. The girl with the tiara... did she know she's going to bump into Jake? It's quite amazing that Jake looks taller than everyone else in Times Square!
Thanks for the great pics and post!
I was looking at the twit pics late last night and I think the person who described it as a Mob Scene had it right! Yikes! I have to wonder what the photo spread is going to look like after seeing the craziness in Times Square yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI love the LAOD descriptions...all those scenes sound absolutely WONDERFUL to me! What does that say about me?! LOL!!
Have a great Sunday - kettle's on!
:-)
LOL! Jake on a Viagra overdose with ample nudity and an orgy ? WOW! This is gonna be some movie! Seems like Jake got to use is merkin a lot. :DDD I don`t know what this makes us BBMISwear, but I can`t wait to see this either, it sounds so fun. :D
ReplyDeleteDid the mob in Time Square happen after the GQ shoot? They should have consulted us before choosing his photoshoot outfit, he`s clearly overdressed. I hope they
took some indoor shots. You don`t need an elaborate outfit to make Jake look good, look what VF did with ordinary pants and a plain T-shirt?
Olympia
Hi Winterbird! Hmmm, Jake's in an orgy and it's called 'lame'!! I think not :D I noticed that about the pics too - Jake looks like the tallest man in NYC. I think some of the girls were out for a borthday party - but I think the tiara was a good choice :D
ReplyDeleteHi BBMISwear :-) I cannot wait to see this spread - I wonder if this was a part of it, or just some fun. BBut it must have been such a sight. I hope someone got some video... am I being greedy?
The LAOD scenes sound bloody good to me too! In 2010 we get PG Jake and R Jake :D
Morning Olympia! Me too :D There's something about the phrase 'ample nudity'... I was wondering that about the GQ shoot too - the outfit is good - for outdoors - but I wouldn't mind something a little more...
I need more coffee! I hope everyone is having a good day. Jake is no doubt heading up to Montreal :D
My word is pingu :)
OMG, Jake the love god - sorry to say that I can't wait to see LaOD! :)
ReplyDeleteJake having a proper drink was the first thing I noticed! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOoh 14:40, I can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, 15:17, that'll be the People pic - that's what I noticed too!! It might be suspiciously bourbon looking but I like to dream it's a smokey single malt :D
OMG, Jake in Times Square....looking sexy as ever and taking pics with fans!!!! Eeee, wish I knew I would have checked it out! But it seemed like a great time and I can't wait to see it all in GQ.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see LAOD. I am very happy for Anne but I find the "reviewers" comments about Jake annoying. I can't wait to see it for myself because it sounds like Jake has some excellent scenes. An orgy, with Jake....YES. I love the chemistry with him and Anne and I am sure it will be fantastic.
Have a great Sunday everyone!
Hi there Get Real! I totally agree about the comments - they are... irritating. I can't wait til everyone sees it.
ReplyDeleteGreat scenes in Times Square!
look at that GQMF being all friendly with his fans, taking pics and shit
ReplyDelete:P
seriously, he looks great though.i hope that's just part of the photoshoot and we get some indoors and less clothed photos too.
i had read that review before somewhere and the lack of enthusiasm about Jake made me meh.i blame Anne Hathaway's boobs.lol jk.
Hi Gretchen :)
ReplyDeleteUpdated the post with more pics and news that some of the GQ shoot took place at Spin :D Indoors! Table tennis!
Yesterday I saw "The Last Station." There weren't any Jake links, but there was an obvious Heath one: Christopher Plummer, who played Tolstoy. Plummer had earlier worked with Heath in "Imaginarium." James McAvoy was also in the film. :-)
ReplyDeleteJake has an enviable verticality that makes him stand out in any crowd of excitable young women. ;-) Fortunately, Jake likes young women, and they tend to like him, so life is good. Very, very good!
Wow. He looks hot :)
ReplyDeleteHello, hope everyone is having a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteIf Jake's drinking a single malt in the People pic, he's certainly got a lot of water with it! :D or maybe it's soda. He has a straw, so maybe it's a Whisky Sour or a Manhattan? :)
Not that I've given it much thought, don't care for cocktails myself. ;-)
Hi Paul! I want to see that (even though it has Helen Mirren in it... :D). Jake just looks so good in a crowd - sigh...
ReplyDeleteHe does Anon :D
Hi Rubes! I didn't see the straw... hmmm, that may well make it a Manhattan. But yes, like you, I know very little about cocktails and rarely touch them... ;)
Just stopped by and almost spit my mouth full of pretzels out on to my computer screen while reading Ruby and WDW claim they don't know much about cocktails! Ya, right. And there are palm trees in Montreal. *rolls eyes*
ReplyDelete(I am, however, quite interested in what Mr. G was drinking that night too - and hoping more pictures surface at some point) :-)
I have a feeling we may see quite a few more Jake/NYC/GQ photos between now and when the magazine comes out. No complaints here!!
Go USA! :-)
Really? Palm trees in Montreal? I never knew that... Hi BBMISwear! Oh yes, more pictures the better and I would love more from that party :-)
ReplyDeleteI may be wrong but I think that may have been an ice hockey reference...
:D
OMG all I can say is why doesn't something like that happen when I'm visiting Time Square;) He is looking really good. Can't wait to see the GQ pics.
ReplyDeleteThe descriptions of LAOD sound too good to be true but I really like what I'm hearing all the same!!!
Hope you're not having too bad a time of it with the weather WDW. Luckily we've escaped it so far.
well this is a nice surprise. I've been to Times Square a number of times but JAKE was never there
ReplyDelete:( oh well maybe one day we'll meet up.
Thanks for all the pics with fans. He was so nice to stand there and take pics with them. I wonder if anyone spoke to him? Do you know when the GQ mag is coming out?
I've read about Anne's nude scenes in LAOD, I wonder if this means Jake is also showing some skin?
Thanks as always WDW
sweetpea
Hi Carol! I hope the next time either of us are in Times Square we get a Jake treat :) We've been lucky here - I was really worried by the forecast but we've missed it. I'm glad you have too.
ReplyDeleteHi Sweetpea -I think it's a safe bet that Anne's not baring it all without her co-star :D
It has been such a good day! Good luck to Duncan and Jake and everyone involved for the first day of filming tomorrow *)
There are 6 males in my house at the moment ranging from the ages of 13 through 50 and it just got very, very, very quiet. Oh boy.
ReplyDeleteYou can be proud of your boys, BBMISwear, they played an excellent game, it could have gone either way. God I hate overtime, it`s nerve racking!
ReplyDeleteOlympia
I thought I'd see you here Olympia! Yes a great game and when it went into overtime my heart skipped a few beats. Congrats to Canada! I found myself wondering if Jake was in a bar in Montreal somewhere watching it with a room full of Canadians and what he would think of all that (especially not being a very experienced hockey fan)!
ReplyDeleteI do have to say...I'm ready for the Olympics to be over!! :-)
Hello WDW
ReplyDeleteLAOD sounds more, shall we say... "enticing" every day :)
And Jake looked so good in Times Square. Thank youuuuu so much for posting those great pics! I loved what he was wearing... but I hope he'll be wearing much less in LAOD!!!
I'm back to Blighty tomorrow, hope the weather will behave... :)
Hugs
Paola
Apparently, President Obama had some sort of wager with the Premier of Canada. Obama had to send the Premier a case of beer over the outcome of the game. ;-) You didn't hear it from me. :-/
ReplyDeleteit was SO random. i didnt even know he was in the city. haha. well he came up to my friends and i went over to them and we got pics. and then his manager made us sign release forms cause we might be in a magazine. and he walked away when we were signing. and then we followed him and he started taking pics with other people. and i snuck back into the middle. and i got next to him. and the paparazzi was taking pics and his arm was around me the whole time. hahaha. i love him<3 it was amazing.
ReplyDeleteKelly
Q. Did you get to feel him up? You were pretty close in some of those pics!
ReplyDeleteA. hahaha. i was definatly close enough. i didnt purpously, but i probably did. :D hahahaha.
Q. What did Jake smell like? Cologne, candy, minty, soapy?
A. he smelled really good! like cologne!
Also, LOL:
Q. My bad. I thot that's what you meant in your twitter "HOLYYYY SHIZ-NITTTT! me and sara are online with Jake Gyllenhaal!!!!!" (I was so fuking jealous if you were! You bitch!)
A. no i wasnt online with him, like talking online. we are on a website..http://www.wetdarkandwild.com/2010/02/jake-gyllenhaal-centre-stage-in-nyc-and.html
Morning all!
ReplyDeleteCan I be bad and say I still don't know who won the ice hockey? *runs and hides*
Morning Olympia and BBMISwear :-) I'm thinking from your comments that Canada wone? I would've thought Jake might have been caught up in it a bit :D Might even have had another Proper Drink :)
Hi Paola! Have a good trip back today - you're heading back into sunshine :)
Hey Paul! Ooh that's funny. I don't know what I'd think if a crate of Bud turned up... I have had some very good Canadian beer :)
Hello Kelly quoters! It's such a good account - what an amazing experience - and he had an arm round her the whole time :) And the Famous Smell Question! Yeay! And we got a mention :D
Have a great day everyone and good luck to Duncan, Jake and the Source Code crew on their first day! (Duncan, some more 'ample nudity' would be good...)
Loving all the twitter/facebook accounts from NYC (still) and new pics too! I have a feeling there are going to be more of these to come over time. And then the magazine itself of course - whooowhee!
ReplyDeleteI smiled last night when I saw the WDW mention - hee hee! Even more people will see THIS is the place to go for all things Jake G!! I give Kelly a lot of credit dealing with a few idiots on line. It seems she has a lot of supporters, though, so that's good. I know first hand all about the questions, questions, questions when something like this happens and there is no way there is an easier way to deal with that than with an official account posted on line - no better way at all. You handled it the right way, Kelly - no worries!
Exciting day on the Source Code set I'm sure. Hoping for more info on that from whoever wants to share it with us!
Happy Monday - the weather S**ks (again).
:-/
Hello,
ReplyDelete(Hope I have the right post today).
Hot Lego! Yeah.
BBM was mentioned by the commentator on the Beeb at the end of the Ice Hockey. In a kind of neutral way, as in good that they mentioned it cos there is no doubt that film is KNOWN. The analogy he was making wasn't great though.
I loved the hockey. Thought it was fantastic. Yay Canada! I may move to Canada for the 2012 games. God we British are going to ruin our own Olympics I bet.
Priapism. Oh dear. Even True Blood couldn't make that joke last.
TD
Hi BBMISwear :-) It is a shame Kelly had to deal with idiots. But hopefully the excitement of it all will compensate. People should just be happy for her and not be mean. She did a good job. And yeay, very nice we got a mention. Hope the weather perks up!
ReplyDeleteHi TD! Yeah right post :D ooh I cannot wait for the 2012 Olympics. I think it'll be fabulous - and just down the road. I did some of the archaeology for some of its sites... The good thing is, it won't feature curling.
Hope everyone's having a good day. off to the gym... gulp.
the quality of the pics at IHJ are so good it made me sad that they're not better face shots. :/
ReplyDeletebut he has a lovely profile :)
Hi Gretchen - he has such a beautiful profile :)
