Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and Ed Zwick arrive in London, behind the scenes on LAOD and that stegosaurus bracelet...

The Love and Other Drugs publicity train continues to make tracks across the globe. Leaving NYC behind, at least for the time being - see the TV Jake on the Box schedule for next week to the right - Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and Ed Zwick today arrived at Heathrow Airport (I hope they were spared the Heathrow bus station).


While I welcome Jake, Anne and Ed to our shores, I would like to express my apologies that Heathrow already has its Christmas decorations up.




Meanwhile, as we get ready for whatever is in store for us in the UK LAOD-wise, there's still time to play catch up. Firstly there is the matter of the bracelet which, it turns out is something called a silly bandz and, by the sound of it, is a gift from niece Ramona and is of a steogosaurus. Possibly one of these. Speaking as someone who grew up with dinosaurs painted on one half of my bedroom wall and historical figures on the other, I can completely sympathise with this choice of gift for Uncle Jake.



Meanwhile, here you can watch Jake kind of dig himself into a viagra hole, much to the amusement of Anne.










In this video, we have some behind the scenes action from Love and Other Drugs, which judging from the comments and interviews, shouldn't feature any clothes.



Many thanks to IHJ for the new pictures.

Thanks again!

OMG... Jake in London... He'll go back for the premiere in December, right? I have to inform my spy. Yes, I have a spy. Not a correspondent: a spy... Squeee!! :-D

I'll resume my signal dance now. Seems like I haven't been expressive enough yet. ;-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Silver! Hope the studying's going ok. The premiere is on or about 6 December in the UK - no firm confirmation yet.

Hey Alejandra! What's all this... spies? He'll be back for the premiere I'm sure. I'm afraid you're too oblique for me! I have no idea what you're on about!

Alejandra said...

I know, WDW. I'm kinda waiting for NaNoWriMo to be over to be as clear with you as I possibly. If you're interested, that is. xo

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Alejandra! I'm not sure I can wait that long! I'm always at the end of an email for a chat :D

Alejandra said...

And what will I do with my guilt if you can't concentrate on NaNoWriMo after we chat? Okay, I'll try emailing you. Just let me figure out where to start... :-)

The spy offered herself as that, tho. That crazy idea wasn't mine. i'd like to make that clear. :-)

As an ex-London resident, I have to say the city agrees with Jake, he always look sharp and smiley and handsome there! :)

Have fun with the LAOD train in London, WDW!!

Darling Bluebell said...

Have fun in the UK, Jake & Anne! It feels good to have you on this side of the pond for a while. :)

Is it too much of an open door to notice that in the bracelet video even the news headlines join the naked theme?! (1:01) :-P

I already wrote it in yesterday's comment thread, but let me say again how much I laughed at that Access Hollywood vid. Hysterical!

Monica said...

awwww Ramona is so cute! She's love Jake!
thanks

Yesterday I had a bad day, so it's nice to relax and have fun with laod.

Cazajuguetes said...

Hi WDW and all,
That is great! What a surprise.They come and go so easily from the US to Europe.Who knew they would come now to London?
I would have though they would visit in December. Any idea of what they are up to?

Loving the updates! Can't stop to watch the videos right now, but looking forward to it. Y'all take care of Jake while he's over there, make sure he gets back home safe and sound! :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Alejandra!

Will do, Winterbird! As always when Jake's here, it gets cold and windy but we'll look after him :)

Hi Lady Ekster! I love all of this - having Jake over here and all of the vids. It's wonderful :)

I'm really glad you're having a better day today, Monica :)

Hey there Eureka - I think they're over for publicity/screenings etc for a few days but they'll be back in December for a premiere I'm sure. It's just a matter of fitting things in when they're both available.

Thanks 22:23 :)

Hi!
So Jake is so close to Poland now! Maybe he could drop here. We have very nice weather.
How lucky you are WDW to have him and Anne in your country, though it may be painful, knowing he is so close and not having a chance to meet him. Or maybe I'm wrong? Maybe you have some possibility? Probably on premiere it will be easier to get closer to Jake.
I like that silly bandz video. It so sweet of Jake to have it with him in such a important time of his work. It shows us how important Ramona is to him.
Those Access Hollywood interviews are just great!
About pictures from London airport: I'm very pleased to see Jake carrying himself his valise :)
It nice they travelled together. I can only imagine how merrily it was on board.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Mermon! You're lucky to have the nice weather - it's horrible here... It's never that easy having Jake in London as it's not a city where you get papped - red carpets are much easier but I don't think that'll be on this trip.

I love the videos too - and lovely to see Jake and Anne together with Ed walking though Heathrow! I'm hoping to have some news about the London visit but it's still not fixed so stay tuned :)

I hope everyone's having a lovely day :)

mermon said...

Another lovely, absolutely must seen interview in two parts. Jake and Anne are a bit sleepy already, tiring day. They behave so natural with each other, like a siblings or the best friends. It just great to listen to them and to look at them.
It's from trailer addict, but new.

mermon said...

Excuse me for posting so many post in the row, I just feel a need to tell you that I adore the way Jake looks in all those interview. The same clothes, so the same hard working day. This hairdo and the shade of beard is the best for him. For me he looks even better than in LAOD. I wish to see him like that in the movie. It just a pleasure to watch him.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I know just what you mean, Mermon :) I usually think Jake looks 'better' in real life than he does in the movies and these interviews are wonderful :)

If there are any members of the forum reading, I've left a question in the Members Lounge.

See you tomorrow!

WDW, I don't understand your apologies about Heathrow being decorated for Christmas. If the decorations are tasteful, what's the problem? Not everyone celebrates Christmas at the same time--some sooner than Dec. 25, some later, some right on the 25th. There are some who expect the decorations to be up a bit early. I always leave a few Christmas items up year-round in my house: an ornament cluster, a Christmas pitcher, several Christmas bowls for holding snacks. Without a little something festive in your life, it's just nasty, brutish and short, as Hobbes envisioned it.

I laughed at the video that had the caption "Raw sewage closes Carlsbad Beach." Did they get their captions mixed up, like something out of an episode of "Mary Tyler Moroe Show?" ;-)

Not that we don't have Christmas things in stores somewhere around Halloween, or before.
But city and house decorations usually don't go up until after Thanksgiving. And as the British don't celebrate our Thanksgiving then makes sense the decorations would be up before then.
Anyway, am really enjoying the Jake and Anne show. No doubt they will find another movie to do together.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning everyone! Beautiful day out there - for a change :D

Hi Paul! It's one of those petty things that winds me up how decorations are put up earlier and earlier each year. I think they should at least wait for December! I like festive stuff just not Christmas festive stuff (I'm such a scrooge :D).

Hi there KC :D I just think November is far too early for Christmas decorations. I once complained to a shop manager because he'd put them up at the start of October!

I'm really enjoying it too!

Have a good day everyone! It's very nice to be in the same time zone as Jake and it looks like it'll be a beautiful day in London today.

jen said...

mermon , thanks for adding this great youtube interview link. I just love their very deep conversation about LAOD and the performances. This may be my most favorite Jake & Anne interview to date. Yes, I agree with Jake & Anne , Andrew Freund is " awesome and smart" .

Sigh... I know we keep saying this... But, this is a travesty that Anne & Jake are not a real - life couple . It is like they are breaking one of the laws of physics . If they don't hook-up, Gyllenhaal & Hathaway will cause universal disasters. I'm only joking people !

When I watch them in their clips, I'm absolutely blown away by the similar characteristics they share : magnetism, sexiness, charisma , warmth, confidence, goofiness, intelligence, articulation, generosity, earthiness, and playfulness.


Also , I notice Jake & Anne are constantly touching each other, finishing each other sentences, and providing incredible eye contact- like a boyfriend & girlfriend or husband & wife. They are extremely explosive together. Keep in mind , this isn't something new, they had this wonderful connection since Brokeback Mountain.


Gyllenhaal & Hathaway have much better chemistry than : Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock & Keanu Reeves, Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan. Julia Roberts & Richard Gere, and Leonardo Dicaprio & Kate Winslet. They may have the best onscreen & off screen chemistry since Warren Beatty & Annette Bening (Bugsy). If they don't desire a real romantic relationship ( I guess I have to get over it) , I want them to act in many movies together- similar to Spencer Tracey & Katherine Hepburn.


P.S. WDW, thank you for your continued great work.

Hi everybody!
Jen - I agree with you about Jake and Anne. They behave together like long-time, loving couple. I was thinking what would happen if they both would have been single at the time they had been working on LAOD. As far as I understand the situation, Jake was still with Reese and Anne was probable still with her ex. If not, at least Jake was not available.
Who knows how the things would have flow if they would shot all scenes full of chemistry and hotness being single and liking each other so much. But that's the mystery of destiny. In the meantime Jake became single but Anne has a new boyfriend. That life. It's really nice to watch them. They have like the same level of intellectuality, wisdom and similar sense of humour.

hi WDW, I have successfully watch all of the wonderful vids, well actually there's still one left, bad internet connection... will watch it tomorrow.
the LAOD i love you clip is really funny and sweet, and that's my favourite too...
oh, the silly bands, that answer my question bout what's that pink thing that Jake wore in the medical center pics, and it's from Ramona, Jake is one sweet uncle.
Glad to hear that now he's in London, looking for more good news, report, vids, and pics. And he's closer to you too !
Thanks for the amazing posts WDW !!!

People's Choice Awards - we can vote for Jake as an action star and for POP as an action movie. Let's do it for a sake of POP sequel:)

Hello everyone! Another horrendous day at work :(

I really agree with the comments about Jake and Anne - their friendship is clearly so genuine and has to mean something special for LAOD :)

Thanks for the links Mermon and Sweetpea - some lovely videos. I'm doing a post now. And hello to Jen and Serene Hill too!

jen said...

I don't know if this was already posted. But, here is a cute happy birthday salute for Mary Hart (ET) from both Jake & Anne.

Hi, WDW

I'm sorry to hear about your awful day at work. I'm starting to feel guilty about what I said about the decorations. I sing in a choral society that rehearses its Christmas repertoire starting in early September. I'm steeped in Christmas music long before Halloween. Not everyone has the holidays on their mind that early. I agree, technically the big public places like terminals should not jump the gun.

I agree that Jake and Ann would make a great couple. If they made a lot of movies together, they would see each other a lot, though not as themselves. And, Jake's longest recent relationships have been with blondes (Kirsten and Reese). That's why there was at least a smidgen of plausibility when OK magazine hinted at a relationsip between Jake and Taylor. Chances are, whoever Jake selects will have to pass muster with Jake's family. ;-) Anyway, the biological clock is ticking...
