With mere days until Jake takes to the public stage for his live interview with the New Yorker and Ed Zwick on Saturday, the time may soon be upon us when we will know whether Jake has been letting his hair down for the summer break or if it is indeed for a new role. The suggestions have been coming thick and fast - is Henry VIII the Musical about to become a reality?
People has an account here of Jake at Le Grand Fooding, where the Face Pet did nothing to deter people from being enamoured. I have an admission to make... I think Jake looks rather adorable...
Source. Thanks to Lady Ekster for the heads up!
Blimey! Now that's what I call a beard!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lady Ekster for the heads up :D
I want to ask something. what is his favourite musician or sond do you know?
ReplyDeletewow! I agree Kate he looks adorable :D
ReplyDeleteI don't like the beard at all but he looks beautiful anyway.. the smile , oh god... I think it's hard not to fall in love with him! :)
Good to see Jake again (god Bless that camera)
I feel..disenchanted is the word? I expected wild dangerous cave man in a good way looking Jake! But not this sad man in a plaid shirt! But yeah, I find him adorable as well..like he is all innocent in his mistake.. :P
ReplyDeleteLucia
Aww. I think the beard suits Jake. He looks good. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks WDW. :)
He does look adorable - kinda like a bohemian artist. I like his hair length too. I wish he would turn to face the cameras, so we could get a pic of his beautiful eyes with all that hair. :)
ReplyDeleteHi 17:38 - Jake likes a wide range of music. Most recently we've heard him say how much he likes Mumford & Sons, Florence and the Machines. Others include Arcade Fire, Kanye West, Jenny Lewis, Sebasian and Belle, Bruce Springsteen, Rufus Wainwright. Lots of different sounds.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda - it's great to see him again and that smile!
Hi Lucia :D You think he looks sad? I don't see that at all, just Jake looking gorgeous and furry and cuddly!
Hi Just Fan! I wasn't expecting to find Sasquatch Jake as adorable as I do but I do!! Just love to see him and that smile - sigh :)
Hi 17:50 - he does look a bit bohemian :)
ReplyDeleteTalk about Le Grand Yummy. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome WDW. :)
ReplyDeleteSasquatch, you're BUSTED!!!
I think I wouldn't have recognized him if he'd walked past me... That is one big beard (but not that red, luckily).
So now that we've finally seen The Beard, I suggest the pro-bearders have a day or two to drool over it, before someone heads to New York with a strong anaesthetic and a razor...
Oooh its great to have a pic AT LAST!
ReplyDeleteHe is adorable - he can do no wrong in my eyes, just want to cuddle him and stroke that beard :D
Indeed 17:58 :D
ReplyDeleteHi Lady Ekster! Jake seems to have so many looks and I can't help loving them all - I have more trouble with the plaid shirts :D
Two days left for the poll! I wonder if the picture will change how voters vote!
Hi Karen! I want to cuddle him too! It's the teddy look :D
ReplyDeleteMmmm I fear I am the only one who's not really into that beard :-/ Fact is, when I see all that hair on his face the long-gone teenager in me can't help but thinking "Gosh, that would be some epic challenge kissing him properly without getting me a face rash" ... yes, I can be THAT silly.
ReplyDeleteI like him better with no beard or the 5 o'clock shadow, I so need to see his face :P
Anyway, thank you WDW and LadyEkster!!! it's GREAT to see him again and I can't wait for the show, I'll love him even if he goes Yeti-like, as long as he smiles his sweet smile. This is real love, I tell ya.
HisVelvetVoice
Hi there His Velvet Voice! I do agree - that's love :D It's the smile that counts but yes that's quite a beard - very scratchy :D
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to find out if it's still there on Saturday! I kinda think it may be. I also think this could be for a role - it's not like Jake to grow his hair this long without a reason :D
Jake seems to have so many looks and I can't help loving them all - I have more trouble with the plaid shirts :D
ReplyDeleteYou're not moving to pro-Beard camp, are you? :-P The shirt is indeed quite ehr... yeah. ;-) Now I totally get that lumberjack tweet from the other day.
Mmmm I fear I am the only one who's not really into that beard :-/
I'm right there with you. ;-) I miss that perfect jaw line and having a clear view at those luscious lips. *mutter*
Heehee no, I'm still in the Shave Brigade - I'm just so happy to see him :D I am not a fan of the lumberjack shirts! Ooh, I miss the luscious lips too!
ReplyDeleteAs you say... AT LAST, a photo! Always cool ... WDW thanks, I vote for the opposite ... when no work is left beard, no role.
ReplyDeleteHi karmentxu! It's so good to get a picture at last :D
ReplyDelete"I'm right there with you. ;-) I miss that perfect jaw line and having a clear view at those luscious lips. *mutter*"
ReplyDeleteAmen LadyEkster! Ah his Jawline, heavensent!
WDW, well if it's for a role ... then bring it on, who am I to complain about a new Jake movie :D thou it'd be a hard and long one with no sight of his face lol!
HisVelvetVoice
Yes, yes, yes!
ReplyDeleteI agree LadyEkster. 100% lumberjack.
Hair length really matches the XL beard. I missed so much a fresh photo that at this point I would even change my pro-shave vote.
No, no. Resist.... one more week for no beard photos?
I'm jealous of the girl at he picture!
Oh, he looks adorable! I love the face fuzz!!! On a completely random note, I thought I'd share that I got the job at UCLA Hospital! They offered me the position this morning! So, hopefully, I'll spot Jakey every once in awhile in LA :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Tiffany!
ReplyDeleteA new first hand source for Jake sightings. :-D
I wonder what this pic is gonna do for the poll... *picks up cheerleader thingies* Go Shave Brigade Go!
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for jaw lines so maybe it's just me, but I believe a man should't be allowed to have a beard if his jaw line is as picture perfect as Jake's. *mutters some more*
"The XL beard" LMAO Eureka!
Congrats Tiffany! :-)
Good to see he`s alive and well and I`m loving the hair. It`s a really beautiful pic if I hide everything with my hand except his hair and eyes. :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new job, Tiffany! :)
Olympia
You people are scaring me. Seriously. You all have been new photo deprived for so long that you are willing to adopt the Face Pet? EEK! The hair is gorgeous. The face (ABOVE THE MOUTH) is Jake Sweetness. But. I will never give up on the aforementioned jawline, the bone structure. The pink and plump Cupid's bow mouth. Jake. Enough. You have proven that you own enough testosterone to grow the Mother of all Gyllenpets. Please, people, be strong. Do not be desperate enough to accept this look for eternity. Or October. Jake, you evil non-shaver -- repent (and shave) and free these faithful followers from the hairy hold you have on them. They are good people! Oh, the humanity!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be odd, HVV, a film without Jake's face - *eek!*
ReplyDeleteHey Eureka! Me too - so good to see him again and with such a smile :) And it is good that the hair matches!
Many, many congratulations Tiffany! I'm so happy for you :)
Waves to Lady Ekster!
Hi there Olympia! It is a lovely picture, albeit a little furry round the edges :D
OMG Gyllenhaalisgr8 you are husterical!! And not giving up the faith - we are so weak after being deprived so long but you stay firm and I bow before you and how can Jake not shave after that?!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job ... Tiffany
ReplyDeleteAnd I already commented on the before WDW-post as the link was there in the comments ... so I'm just saying: nice ....but I already looked up the next flight to NYC and have a razor with me ;)
ROFLMAO gyllenhaalisgr8
ReplyDeleteHi Sasha! Thanks for the comment on the other post - I think that must have been just as I was posting this one :D And glad to hear it!
ReplyDeleteI just have to say again I am SO HAPPY to see Jake today!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! At last the picture.
ReplyDeleteThough I prefer Jake with his face shaven, I have to admit I like the way he looks. Maybe I was expecting longer and uglier beard, a la Brad Pitt. Maybe that's why I think this one is quite pretty. Clean, combed, looking soft and beautifully black. I wouldn't be afraid to get any rash from this one.:)
"Cupid's bow mouth" - I like that! :) Yes, his lips are very original and unusual.
Tiffany - congratulations! We know Jake like to show up at Medical Center, so maybe one day he will come to your hospital. Just be ready.
I know gyllenhaalisgr8, I'm so weak. I wish I was stronger....
ReplyDelete"Jake, you evil non-shaver repent (and shave) and free these faithful followers from the hairy hold you have on them."
AMEN to that!
Hey congrats Tiffany!!
ReplyDeleteNope, not liking the beard at all!!! SHAVE IT OFF. please.
Love the comments though and its great to see a photo of Jake. I have missed him although I've been snowed under with my reading list for uni - they weren't kidding when they said it was a reading degree!!!
CS
OK, so this poll you've got going here...
ReplyDeleteYou do have contractual arrangements with Jake's "people" to implement the decision, right? Just like with the poll on Jake's next movie?
You wouldn't be teasing us now with thinking that we were all Ed Harris in a Jake version of The Truman Show? Nah, you wouldn't do that. :D
PS I voted a couple of days ago. Can I vote again? And again? And again?
oh good LORD! Well I guess it could be worse, we could be looking at ZZtop. But come on Jake, I have a razor I'd like to introduce you to. I know why people were calling him lumberjack. This is the longest I think he's gone without shaving.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm in the minority that think most men don't look good with beards. I like Jake's adorable face and right now I'd be hard pressed to find it under that rug he has growing
sweetpea
oh no Sweetpea you are not alone with not liking the beard. Personally I think it takes more looking after than shaving. Imagine all the food bits that must get lodged in it!!
ReplyDeleteYuck.
CS
oh and I like to add: I like the longer hair :D ...
ReplyDeleteGyllenhaalisgr8, you are not going to do much to discourage us wording your post like that! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that Jake looks more in keeping with a role in s stage production of Chekhov or Doctor Zhivago. His mother is arguably from Russian stock, so why not try some of the Russian repertory?
ReplyDeleteWOW! What a beard!! This is the year of BeardGate :) i think you mentioned that WDW, last year hatgate? What next 8-) :P I definitely want him to shave as soon as possible! I have a feeling he will keep it though, for his interview.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget one of Jakes favourites DieAntwoord WDW ;) they are so hilariously terrible, and they're on the radio all the time right now!
Silver
Hi Mermon! IThis beard is definitely not as scary as a Brad Pitt beard :D
ReplyDeleteHi Eureka!
Hey Claire, what are you studying?
Rubes! Yes, I have a hotline directly attached to Jake's razor. All it needs now are some instructions :D
Hi Sweetpea :D I can't comment on that as Mr WDW has a big healthy beard and he'll look at me in a funny 'do you really want me shaven?' kind of way...
Hi Sasha and 21:20!
Hey there Paul! I like the Dr Zhivago idea but please nooooo Chekhov! I cannot stand Chekhov's plays - although I must agree that Jake does seem to be sporting a spectacular turn of the 20th-century beard...
Yes, Silver, last year was HatGate and who knows what we'll get next year. Maybe Jake'll die his hair blond.... *shivers* Jake has so many bands that he likes, it's difficult keeping up with them all...
One day left to vote!
You know I hate the grampa hats with a passion but I`d take a shaved Jake with one of those hats over this sasquatch looking Jake any day. Even if he doesn`t shave for Saturday, he`ll have to shave for the LAOD promotion, right? ... Oh God!... This means we could be in for another month and a half of this?! * faints in horror *
ReplyDeleteOlympia
Damn I was hoping the next time I'd see him he'd have that animal off his face. :(
ReplyDeleteBetter luck next time!
I'm smiling widely looking at the homepage now. A picture of Sasquatch and next to it 7 people who voted for 'He has a beard?' *lol*
ReplyDeleteI have a hotline directly attached to Jake's razor.
What?! And you've still not made use of it? It seems like a PoP quote is in order here: 'A great woman would have stopped the beard growth from happening. A great woman would have stopped what she knew to be wrong.'
... Oh God!... This means we could be in for another month and a half of this?! * faints in horror *
Noooooo! Oh please, no. It's terrifying enough already to mentally prepare myself for a Saturday interview with The Beard...
Sweet dreams!
Hi WDW and y'all,
ReplyDeleteFudge! This time zone sucks...
I'm always missing out on all the action ;-)
@WDW - "... Jake looking gorgeous and furry and cuddly"
Totally agree! This is exactly how I imagined he'd look like: simply adorable - a big huggybear. And it would appear that his fuzzy face pet by no means deters the ladies. Nor does he try to avoid them.
Jake in sweet teddy flirt mode. Watch out! ;-)
I also have to admit... I totally love his eco/boho/grunge/hipster look. I think it's his "natural state". How he feels most comfortable.
Ok, just happens I'm a bit of a eco/boho chick. (Remnants of my grunge days.) Recognition of self - isn't that part of the love arc? It's a scientific truth. I have no control over these emotions. *sigh*
C'mom beardies, let's turn this BeardGate poll around!
I like your comments, Lemniscate. Some guys look good in beards (Sebastian Cabot, Orson Wells) and some don't (the Smurfs, Gabby Hayes). Some look so bad that they give beards a bad image (Gabby and the Smurfs again). Jake is one of he better ones, I feel.
ReplyDeleteAt one time or another, both of my nephews have grown beards. I was relieved when they shaved them off. Jake is having a little fun now, but probably his beard will be going away soon.
@paulh
ReplyDeleteThanks. I agree, Jake wears it well.
However, as a former Belgian national, my love for "de Smurfen en Vader Abraham" runs very, very deep. I couldn't possibly agree with you there. ;-)
I hope this limerence subsides. *sigh*
You'd better prepare yourselves for this one: http://twitpic.com/2sxp8i
ReplyDeleteAnd Lady E., thanks for asking! I hope this shortened url works:
http://bit.ly/bdW4FD
I'm constantly adding new Gyllencreations out of old pics! It's my life!!
FYI, Jake Junk ~ My Gyllenhaal Treasures is not a blog, just one stop shopping for Jake eye candy! Most is my creative dementia at work!
ReplyDeletehttp://bit.ly/bdW4FD
@gyllenhaalisgr8
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely hilarious! Love your comments and your creative work. My oh my. What an interesting collection you have. Very tantalising...
I love this one:
http://bit.ly/cdloZf - you could just imagine him playing that game ;-)
This is my absolute favourite though:
http://bit.ly/ck4HTg - So cute - ROTFLMAO ;-)
Oh, and YES. I would still love him if he looked like that. Looks Schmucks!
ReplyDeleteI've been indoctrinated during childhood to "respect and love the beard" - "Vader Abraham en de Smurfen" ad nauseam. La-la-lalalalalalalala...
Btw, has anyone ever had a closer look at that "Gyllenbeard" jacket ;-)
Thanks everyone!! I'm so excited! I'll be on the lookout for this sasquatch of ours :D YAY BEARD!!!
ReplyDelete@Mermon - I don't know if I'll ever be prepared/ready to meet him! :D
Oh? Our new roving reporter ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats Tiffany on your new job!
(I can't believe I missed that... Must have been all the sasquatch sighting excitement.)
Just remember: breathe, breathe...
OMG!!! That's the biggest beard I've seen in a long time. I'm not really a facial hair person. Thank god for dvds... ;-) Loved your post, WDW. LMAO!
ReplyDeleteHi everybody!
ReplyDelete@gyllenhaalisgr8. You are such an artist. My goodness! I loved your creations.
Having slept on the issue, I've come to the conclusion that this is wrong, wrong and the situation cannot be allowed to continue. I think we need to arrange an intervention.
ReplyDeleteI'll need a couple of volunteers.. hmm maybe three? One to sit on his legs, one to sit on his chest and one to hold his arms, while I shave him. You should be prepared for him to struggle and wriggle a lot. :D
I'll dig out the strimmer from the shed, I think I'll need that before i can get a razor in there.
Good morning! Back at work and AAARRGGGHHH I'm swamped with work - aarrgghhhh so I can't chat with everyone individually at the mo, but just wanna say HELLO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd Gyllenhaalisgr8 you are so talented - I caught your shout out to me on twitter - thanks! - and I so agree with that take on Eat, Pray, Love!
Just had a good look at the pic again and I have to say, it looks like Jake's beard is growing on the picture! It certainly looks longer than it did yesterday...
Back later - *deep breaths*
Thanks gyllenhaalisgr8! :) That is definitely what I'm going to spend my lunchtime on. *big grin* Found you on Twitter as well - are they the same pics or different ones?
ReplyDeleteI'll need a couple of volunteers.. hmm maybe three? One to sit on his legs, one to sit on his chest and one to hold his arms, while I shave him. You should be prepared for him to struggle and wriggle a lot. :D
I'm on my way! *takes next flight to NYC* I'll bring chocolate and wine to celebrate after The Great Shaving. Will we be needing handcuffs too? Just in case? ;-)
Good luck back at work WDW!
OH MY GAWD gyllenhaalisgr8 ... I'm browsing thru your FB-pictures and I have biiiiiiiiiiiiig grin on my face - so many pictures from funny to oh so yummy :p
ReplyDeleteAnd you have know idea how many typos actually were in this post. Nearly every word had one. *facepalm*
Oh yes, Lemniscate! I'm the new roving reporter :D heheheh. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe depressed reaction is that Jake is growing up, growing older, hiding behind hair, losing his innocent fun - just like exuberant Jack did - from endless bitching and prejudice-for-prejudice' sake. Compare young Jack with old Jack - is that what is being created?
ReplyDeleteThe funny-side reaction is that Jake now indeed has a beard; watching Ted Casablanca etc trying to deal with it is rather amusing. They suggested there was a beard... be careful what you wish for! (I wouldn't put it past Jake to have done this deliberately).
Myself finds beards unattractive and this one no exception, however I know from experience that the man behind one can still be very loveable!
Today, I think its hilarious :D
TD
Hello everyone! Just wanna say I'm reading and loving the comments while still being made a slave to my job - ugh....
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed true, TD, that the man behind a beard can be loveable :D *covering herself in case Mr WDW reads these comments*
OMG it's not prep for Pap Smurf???
Oh Sweet Jesus!!!!!!! Words fail me! That's all from me for now... :D :D :D
ReplyDeleteHandcuffs, LadyEkster? I'm not sure you appreciate the seriousness of the operation. This is not the time to indulge your personal kinky fantasies.
ReplyDeleteoh wait, what am I thinking? Of course it is. :D Please bring along any tools (or toys) that you think would be useful. Or fun. :D :D
(just a long as no-one has any Smurf fantasies. They would be best kept to yourself I think ;-))
ooh, different computer, I can vote again. :D
ReplyDeleteGrabbing a two-minute lunch break!
ReplyDeleteWhat's all this about handcuffs and smurfs then??? Sounds like quite the operation *ensures she's free to help out*
ooh, I can vote again too!
Sasha, Lady, et al: I put most of the new pics on both twitter and Junk, but some I save for Junk only. While you're drooling through the photos, don't overlook the links -- I've made some interesting Jake videos since January ("I Will Follow Him" is the really funny one, otherwise they are mostly hot eye candy). And WDW, I hope you aren't upset about my shameless plug; I do what I do for Jake and his fans because they deserve some tricked out pics!
ReplyDeleteI'd call them Pimp My Jake, but that sounds weird.
No worries, Gyllenhaalisgr8! I think they're fab and I have been known to use the odd one ;-) Loving the new hairy one :DD
ReplyDeleteThanks gyllenhaalisgr8! :) Joined your Facebook, looking forward to your next gems. ;)
ReplyDeleteI think Jake has read the comments on the shaving operation and has decided he best come to us: according to Twitter he's in London at the moment... And no particular mention of a beard other than 'he's looking good'. Could this be our rescue? :)))
I really gotta stop this constant Twittering, addictive as it may be. *slaps herself*
Jake's in the Big Smoke?! It's all too much... *sobs*
ReplyDeleteJake Gyllenhall will act in a film about primitive men with abother monkeys?
ReplyDeleteIf Jake's in London its a quick trip since he's suppose to be in NY Saturday.
ReplyDeleteHi Anon - it doesn't take long to fly over here and take me out to dinner, take in a show, do some shopping, a romantic walk in the park at sunset, that kind of thing :D
ReplyDelete(Of course I speak as the person who flew to Toronto for a weekend :D)
That'll be it, 15:08 - The reboot of Planet of the Apes!
ReplyDeleteI love Jake, but a beard like that does not look good on him. I don't know if it looks good on anyone. He definitely looks good with a beard, as long as it's trimmed closer to his face. I know he grew it for the down time he's had, but I can't wait until he shaves! ;)
ReplyDeleteFeel free, WDW -- it's all about Jake!
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jake is going for a role of a hot, sexy rabbi!
ReplyDeleteHello everyone! So great to see you all! Been out for moules et frites and now raring to go with the post!
ReplyDeleteThank you Gyllenhaalisgr8!
I'm wondering about the London sighting. Whe I asked them about how beardy he was they replied that he had the same stubble as ever...
Then they definitely didn't see Jake! How could anyone describe that Sasquatch beard as "stubble" ?!
ReplyDeleteOr... Jake has shaved and that person is not a gyllenhaalic and so had no idea what Jake looked like lately! * gets on her knees and prays that it's what happened *
Olympia
Hello! I like all your funny posts. My English is not good enough to write in such a droll way.
ReplyDeleteLook how hungry we are for Jake's news - one fresh photo and 82 posts!
I'm wondering about that too, Olympia... hmmm...
ReplyDeleteMermon, your English is amazing and I love that you take the time to comment! And such a lot of comments today :D
gyllenhaalisgr8 said "Maybe Jake is going for a role of a hot, sexy rabbit!" ??? (Lol!)
ReplyDeleteTD
*thud*
ReplyDeleteUm, that was RABBI, not RABBIT (God, I hope you were kidding!)....
ReplyDeleteVisual aid for Rabbi Gyllenbeard. Jake IS half Jewish (I think it's the LOWER half, lol!).
ReplyDeletehttp://bit.ly/9FbDio
Bwahahaaa! How do you come up with all these things?! Men, that's bloody brilliant. :-D
ReplyDeleteHello! OMG Gyllenhaalisgr8 that is brilliant!!And hello TD, BR and Lady Ekster!
ReplyDeleteLady: How do I come up with these things?? I'm running on high octane Gyllenfuel!!
ReplyDelete
