At last! Jake Gyllenhaal out on his motorbike! And it's a Triumph!

It's all too much...! As if the second Love and Other Drugs trailer wasn't enough, now we are treated to the highly anticipated and much longed for pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal out and about with his motorbike! And not only that, it's a bloody fantastic bike, a classic British bike, the Triumph Bonneville T100. And doesn't he look great on it?! As a Triumph rider myself (admittedly a lesser model but still with that earthy gritty roar that makes people stop and look), I am slightly over-excited by these pictures. Just a tad. Many many thanks to IHJ for these absolutely amzing photographs, which include father Stephen, which were taken at Cafe Midi in LA yesterday. I'd have to sit down if I wasn't already.


I'm reliably informed by Mr WDW that Jake should watch how he goes above 70mph on these bikes as bits start to fall off. If I look very carefully I'm sure that back seat has my name written on it.

Someone give me a brandy...please... :P

Wow, I love it - the bike (and Jake!) are gorgeous. :)

My word is embrater.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Just gorgeous 14:14 :D My heart's thumping...

Karen said...

So it is true! We have heard about the bike before but never any proof until now - he even looks sexy with a helmet on!!!! Ooh I must calm down in my condition :D

Does anybody else suddenly have to think of Salt-N-Pepa? What a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man... *mrrrauw*

Come to think of it, their other monster hit Let's Talk About Sex is very appropriate for LAOD. Could Jake be a secret Salt-N-Pepa fan? :-P

Uli said...

Hot damn!!!!!!!!!
So cooool! So glad that it is a nice motorbike.... :D :D :D

And I cannot wait to watch the second LAOD trailer - thanks a lot for the pics of the new trailer to tide me over!

I remember Heath having a motorcycle too, it was an Italian Ducati. It would have been wild to see these two head out on the highway together!

Looks like he was lunching with Dad. But I'd like to know how he can get dressed in that leather jacket when it is HOT! I know the wind whipping through your body but still....

oh Jake you should look out for fire zones, etc before you park your bike.

VROOM! Born to be Wild, that's our Jake :D

Often. :P

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Take deep breaths, Karen! I know, he looks hot even when we can't see his face at all :D

He's certainly hot enough to be an expert, Lady Ekster :D My knees have gone weak...

Hi Uli! I'm glad it's a proper bike too, not one of those boy racer things. Lovely. And hot.

Hey Sweetpea :D Ducatis are gorgeous but I don't know if I'd ever like to see Jake on one of those... The leather jacket is essential! You do get hot at traffic lights etc but you can't ride a bike just wearing a t-shirt. Gorgeous :D

Just as well these pics have just come out - they're anaesthetising me a little against the pain of my exhaust pipe bill :(

Chuckle, 15:21 :D

Could he have picked a more beautiful bike? *swoon*

Mr. WDW is just jealous! (jk) :)

Monica said...

wow Ewan McGregor has a motorcycle Triumph Bonneville T100. :P

I remember the bike's Heath. He was so sexy and wild!

Ducati are my favorite. But Triumph is great too.

Gail said...

Did He really get a ticket? Was it for over parking? I love the bike and all the new sightings of Jake.

mermon said...

Hello everybody! I'm with you from few weeks, but that's my first post. I'm big Jake's fan from Poland. That's my big joy to come here everyday and find something knew about Jake. This morning with a second trailer - you made my day WDW, and now this afternoon with Jake on a bike - you did it again!
I can't wait to see this movie, so far, I don't know when. Don't you find him too thin on a face in a trailer? He looks great but somehow older than his age beacause of the shadows under his eyes.

Anonymous said...

The ticket was for looking so darn sexy.

Anonymous said...

Squeeeee! I just watched the second trailer, it's amazing! And it has a Jake voice over! *happy sigh* I loved the first one but it's so misleading, this one I think gives a better idea of the story. This is so my kind of movie, I've never been so excited about one of Jake's movies. I have no doubt this is a perfect role for him and I won't have to close my eyes to not see something horrifying. Woohoo!

Love the bike pics! I also love how the helmet hides the beard. :DDD Sweetpea, I thought the same thing about Heath and Jake and their motorcycle. I don't think I would have survived the hotness of such a pic. :)

Am I the only one who thought it was Peter in the 4th pic? That was so weird.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I don't think so 15:29 :D

Actually, 15:33, I think he'd prefer a Norton ;-)

Hi Monica! Love the programmes with Ewan McGregor on his bike :D I didn't know he had one of those too.

Looks like he did get a ticket, Gail :D I'd have let him off...

Hello Mermon and welcome! I'm so glad that you've been readi ng and have commented - thank you so much :D And it's a pleasure it really is. Jake was definitely going through a thinner phase during LAOD - he seemed to lose that PoP muscle very quickly although a lot of it looks like it's back now. Thanks again Mermon and do come back!

Ooh! Very true 16:56 :D

Hey there Olympia! Oh I do agree so much about this trailer - it really gives such a flavour of the film without giving too much away, it's a wonderful compromise.

I hope everyone's having a good day - my car is home :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi 18:09 :)

Winterbird said...

Now I know what the beard is for! ;)

Monica said...

I don't think I would have survived the hotness of such a pic. :)

Me too, Olympia. THUD!

I like this song from a trailer, I play it often.
It's nice to find people liking Jake as much as myself and such an interesting and full of informations site.
Thank you for nice welcome WDW.
Probably the muscles were so huge from proteins , not only from working out, so after POP he just lost a bit of body.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Winterbird! Biker's beard :D Helps to keep the face warm while catching midges.

Hi Monica :D

Ooh thanks for the link, Mermon - that's a lovely song. You'll find a lot of people here who feel exactly the same way - it's very nice :)

Alejandra said...

Ooh he found a way to prove he's still the sexiest even if you can't see his face. Be it because of the beard or the helmet. ;-)

What will tomorrow bring? That's what I wonder now. And for now, I'm kinda blushing just by seeing him on that motorbike. So awesome!!

Thanks for the post. And btw, I barely made it last night after seeing the second trailer. Soooo good. My friend was speechless. And I was grinning for HOURS. :-D

get real said...

Just catching up on everything!!

OMG!!!!!! I have not been able to watch the new LAOD trailer yet but I am so excited that this film looks so good and Jake and Anne seem fantastic!!! I think this one will do both extremely well with BO and awards!! Fingers crossed! :)

How swoon-worthy is Jake with his niece, with the beard and with the bike!!!!!!!! I knew you would be excited about the bike, WDW. :D SQUEE!!

Btw, your pics of Stonehenge and your Cornwall trip were so lovely! I so want to visit Stonehenge but I can't help but always think of Spinal Tap, lol. ;p

LadyEkster said...

What will tomorrow bring? That's what I wonder now.

You know, during dinner I was wondering exactly the same thing. *grin* Yesterday a Porsche in the trailer, today a motorbike in LA... tomorrow surfing in a wetsuit? A girl can dream, right? ;-)

Georgie said...

Oh...wow....Delicious!

Georgie said...

Sex on wheels :D

Carol said...

OMG just home now to fully appreciate these pics I've been longing to see for so long:) This is a real Christmas and Birthday come together week with all that's been happening.

Hope this is only the beginning of lots more pics of Jake on that bike. It's a bit sad aswell though making me think about Heath too.

I have been watching the new trailer properly a couple of times now and this is the most excited I've ever been before the release of one of Jake's movies. It just seems to have a bit of everything comedy, drama and a couple of other obvious attractions that I don't need to explain to those here lol:)

I sent a link of it to my Best Friend and even he's excited about it but for the Anne Hathaway factor I think:)

I still can't believe how good this week has been already and it's only Tuesday!!!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Alejandra! I'm not surprised - so sexy :) I've been watching the trailer myself a few times this evening.

It's been quite a week Lady Ekster - so exciting! So many different Jakes. I'm loving it!

Like that, Georgie!

Amazing, eh, Carol?! Just wonderful. I hope we see lots more pictures of Jake out and about on this glorious motorbike. I adore PoP and I thoroughly enjoyed the run up to it and the release, but LAOD is gonna be something special, a film to treasure in the future in our well-watched pile of Jake DVDs. Good times!

As it's been working out that I've been doing WDW posts earlier in the day (or very late at night!), I've done a MovieBrit post this evening on RomComs, inspired, of course, by Love and Other drugs :)

Anonymous said...

Oh it's been a great week for photos.

First a pic of Jake holding his niece, and now a motorbike pic! He has legs forever in one of those photos.

Can't help thinking about Heath. He used to ride around LA in a motorbike too and used his helmet for privacy, taking it off when he got into the building.

But I am glad we can see Jake's beautiful face in these photos.:)

Cheers

Tui

Wet Dark and Wild said...

It's been such a great week, Tui :) And those legs just stretch on and on - very sexy. The helmet must be useful for stars wanting to stay hidden but not all of the time :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Made a few little changes to the front page - hope you like it!

ThuD said...

Oh. Wow. A British Triumph!

*ThuD*

TD

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I knew you'd like it, ThuD! Such a great bike - I hope Jake keeps it shiney. Love the little Union Jacks!

TD said...

Oh yes! Oh he's just so gorgeous! This explains the beard, the zippy jacket, everything!

So much for a quiet spell :)

TD

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Yep, he's gone Biker Dude - be still my heart.... :D

Although, admittedly (note to Jake), not all bikers have such big beards.

One thing I do know is when people get into bikes for the first time - it's a passion :)

get real said...

Finally just saw the second trailer...wow...talk about powerful! The emotions Jake and Anne bring to this are wonderful and heartbreaking. I can't wait to see this!

WDW, I am still smiling about biker!Jake! :)

Did you see my Stonehenge comment, btw? Spinal Tap! :p

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Get Real! Ooh sorry, I missed your comment before! I'm still smiling too! Glad you got to see the second trailer - it's simply incredible :D I definitely think this one will get awards - it looks too good not to.

And the pics with Ramona - fabulous!

I'm so glad you liked the Stonehenge pics :D I'm afraid to say I've never seen Spinal Tap even though I've been told many times I should!

get real said...

WDW, you haven't seen Spinal Tap?!?! You must rent it asap! Hilarious to say the least.

Jake Fan said...

I am liking the way Jake's jeans are fitting him these days. They have not been those overly baggy jeans. Has anyone noticed his tummy / chest area is filling out like his POP days or could it be too much cake?

Jake needs his own kid, I volunteer my services as the mommy. Its a hardship but the world needs more little Gyllenhaals to make everyone go SQUEEEE!

BBMISwear said...

A very long day so it took me quite a while to finally get here but of course I already squeeed via email with you, WDW, when I saw those motorcycle pictures! I knew you would love these! It's great to see Jake out and about and after a few motorcycle sightings it's nice to finally see the real thing!

I laughed so hard at Jake trying to pay for his expired meter once he saw he was getting a ticket (at least that's what it looks like to me)! I don't know why I found that funny but I did.

I see some talk of him wearing his motorcycle helmet - it's the law in California. It's the law in most states (Thank God). Very few states left that haven't made it a law yet and whenever I see it my stomach just drops at the thought of what could happen to those people.

It's been quite a few days...a trailer, birthday party pictures, another trailer, motorcycle pictures...what's next?! Can't wait!!

Thanks for all the updates WDW!

Until next time... :-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning all! What a great jaking day it was yesterday :)

Morning Get Real! I know, I'm bad - I should see it. I have friends who are crazy for it :D

Hi Jake Fan! Those jeans are a great fit :D Jake's definitely getting back some of that PoP bulk and I most wholeheartedly approve (I bet that's a relief for him to hear that...) :D

You are most certainly right, BBMISwear :-) Pics I've been dreaming of seeing. That was funny about trying to give the warden change. We've seen Jake get a few ickets over the years, he must be a bad parker! Mind you, I never know how people in the US have enough quarters for parking meters.

That's good about the helmet law as I've certainly seen quite a few bikers without helmets in California - is it not enforced? Fortunately, not a sight you'd see here. Just the idea makes me shiver.

I know - what next?! Good days :D

have a good Wednesday everyone - I've been a day out all week but I think it really is Wednesday...

My word is egspill (charming)

TD said...

Hi WDW,
A good Californian friend of mine on a visit a few yrs ago couldn't understand why so many people in the UK wore helmets and leathers on motobikes. He was esp. surprised about the leathers.
Jake: sexy without even needing a head.
I agree with Olympia and Monica, would have died from the sexiness of a pic of Heath and Jake on bikes together. Does anyone remember Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix on that motorbike together? hhmmmmmm
TD

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi TD! Very true - sexy without even the head - like that :D That's gotta be sexy. Unfortunately I'm very unfamiliar of other stars with their bikes :D
