GyllenSpotting in NYC - a Cribsheet. And Jake Gyllenhaal - in a restaurant?

It is indeed true that BeardGate continues - after the tweets yesterday which did nothing but rave about Jake Gyllenhaal's hotness and his shoes, there has now been confirmation that the Face Pet is alive and well and indeed thriving. When I asked one lucky Jake Twitcher if Jake still had the beard, the reply was this: 'Yes he did, he was rocking the hipster beard lol.' When Jake was seen on a train yesterday, it appeared he was 'rocking the full beard'.


In fact Jake's beardy bear is now so famous it has made an appearance on Bearotic, which provides 'entertainment for bears and the furry at heart'.

Today, the sightings have been fewer but, as you would expect from someone who enjoys cooking so much, the ones we have involve restaurants. This Jake Twitcher was at Soho Park eating burgers when Jake walked past. It's not known if Jake was inside or outside the restaurant but, with food involved, the former is likely. And another one from yesterday: 'I'm standing next to Jake gyllenhal (I think that's how u spell it). Dude is cooler than the other side of the pillow.'


As a result of some of the recent comments here, I've decided that it's time to produce a new cribsheet for the citizens of New York City to aid them in their GyllenQuest. Clearly, GyllenSpotters have been too overawed by hotness to focus on their wider Gyllendom responsibilities. I hope this helps.

For comparison purpose, this post contains, thanks to IHJ, new old pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal in NYC almost 4 years ago exactly in October, 2006. He doesn't have the Face Pet with him; instead he has The Box Lady ( I do like how Jake has his arm out instinctively in the photo above to protect her from a road of traffic - still lets her carry the box though).



And finally...

Jordan Mechner, the father of Prince of Persia has posted here a link to his last PoP screenplay from the summer of 2005.
