Jake Gyllenhaal watches Celtic win in Boston - and actors taunt Jake with Mars Bars in desert

Jake Gyllenhaal continued to prove that he is both Laker and Celtic fan last night by attending the game between Celtic and Orlando Magic in Boston. And Jake did such a good job of distracting those Orlando players, Celtic won.




Jake also managed to conduct a brief interview, no doubt at the exact moment as the winning throw. Good to see Chris, by the way!



Prince of Persia is full of fine actors, many of whom are Brits who have many a story to tell about working with this Hollywood moviestar. Amongst them is Brummy Steve Toussaint, who played knife-thrower Seso. Here he recalls:


'Jake carried on his training during filming. We’d be driving back to Marrakech from filming in the desert and we’d see him in the distance, running along beside his car! So we drove up and waved our Mars Bars out the window at him. He was very dedicated. We all had, shall we say, ‘toilet issues’ while we were there but he carried on filming throughout. He’s a lovely bloke and very funny. Some megastars like to distance themselves from the rest of the cast, but he was very down to earth.' [I am sorry for mentioning 'toilet issues' so early in the morning...]


No wonder Jake's said he could have torn the heads off people for a bar of chocolate - he was getting taunted with the things. But who'd have a bar of chocolate when you could be running alongside a car through a hot desert instead? No brainer, really. Judging from this picture below, maybe Jake has allegiances in a third state - or is he just indicating to Chris how many dollops of ketchup he wants on his hotdog?


Many thanks to IHJ for the pictures and for the video! More later.
