UPDATED UPDATE! Jake Gyllenhaal, a giraffe, Jeff Bridges and the Big Lebowski

Tony's Updates:

Updated update updated! here, as we all hoped, is Jake presenting at the Guy's Choice awards wearing a very cunning disguise.... Thanks so much,. Stephanie!


Updated update! With huge thanks to IHJ here are the videos of Jake on stage and backstage last night.





Here's a video of Jake arriving at the Tony's last night. Hopefully there will be more - updates and updated updates will be updated!



On with the post...

It is a truth universally acknowledge that Gyllenhaalics spend a considerable amount of their time giving Jake tips about the hair on his head and face. It would seem that he is more in need of our advice than ever.


But no. Jake hasn't been mixing miracle hair growth powders in his milk, nor was he snapped on the way to do the schoolrun (an activity undertaken by 98% of people in their pyjamas), he was presenting Jeff  Bridges with his Original Dude Award at the Spike TV Guys Choice Awards held in LA yesterday. Jake was in a cunning disguise as Jeff's famous creation the Big Lebowski. I don't know about you but I was fooled for a while. The awards will air on Spike TV on Wednesday. This is one routine, I am desperate to see!





I think the giraffe is a nice touch. I might be wrong but I think this is the first time I've ever posted a photo of Jake in a wig with no trousers on next to a giraffe.


Jake didn't scrub up to be photographed with the giraffe but he did for Amy Adams.


Thanks to IHJ for the great pics! There are more there.

But it's back to NYC for Jake now, to present at the Tony Awards tonight. His seat is waiting for him. The post will be updated tomorrow with photos from that event. Even if Jake wears his smartest suit, it might be hardfor the Tony's to top the giraffe. Photo source.

Hello everyone! I hope you're all having/had a good weekend.

I love these pictures! (lots more on IHJ.) Pics of Jake with wild animals are among my very favourites so love to see the giraffe! Love giraffes...

I hope you have a good evening and here's to the Tony's!

Whew what a day! First the thrilling tennis with the Nadal win. Now the F1 in Montreal (c'mon Hamilton) now
Jake, in a wig! With a giraffe. And Jeff Bridges?! Are you kidding me? Be still my beating heart. Cannot wait to see Prisoners. It looks suspenseful and dark. May be a slow burner like Zodiac. I've missed hearing about our guy so much. Love seeing him at these awards shows. Thank you WDW for this fab info and your gorgeous pictures of London.

Sonja said...

Jeez, I love that guy!

Really, I do. Who else can wear that... and still look great :-)

Please, let someone put this on YouTube!

All these pictures are so fine. Blond Jake in a wig and a bathrobe is priceless. Jake and giraffe - simply cute.I can't wait to see his speech/performance, as much as from tonight's Tony Awards.
Jake and Jeff Bridges seem to have a good time together. I have to admit, I never heard about The Big Lebowski film before! I checked it out. Looks like a good movie IMO and a good cast as well.
Kate, your interlude pictures are beautiful! You really do a great job to promote your country. Lisa is right, it could be somehow appreciated and used. :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Good to see you, Sheba! I know, what a day!

Hi Sonja - I really hope it turns up later in the week. Really want to see it!

Thank you so much, Mermon!

I'll update the post as info from the Tony's comes out. I've just added a video of Jake arriving. Have a good day!

Susan said...

Thanks for the post and all the great pics, Kate. I missed the Tony's last night but it didn't bother me so much because I knew I could count on finding it online. What a treat to find the photos of Jake presenting at the Guy's Choice awards here! I don't know what the giraffe is all about, but I have a feeling it is related to The Hangover III. Giraffe lovers (as well as anyone who likes a good movie) should avoid that film at all costs. :-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Susan! That is definitely a film that no self-respecting giraffe would ever want to see...

With big thanks to Stephanie at IHJ - thank you, Steph x - I've added the videos of Jake from last night, presenting and backstage.

mermon said...

So good to come back home after hard work day and English class to find the video of Jake's presenting twice! Thank you, Kate for posting!
He looked fantastic! A pleasure to look at and I guess a honor for him to be chosen for that event! Both ladies he presented, I don't know, but they gave moving speeches.

Maria said...

After the conference today I took the train and looked at the videos and photos of the tony's. Great post, Jake looked smashing, love his hair and tux.

ANTJE said...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Jake at the Tony Awards - as always looking gorgeous with the tux and the facepet which is getting "greyer and greyer" every day.

PS: Our superhero seems to be a NYC-LA-NYC-LA-NYC-commuter these days.

Thanks for updating the updates Kate! I loved watching Jake on the Tony's!

There were a couple of audience shots too including a real fun one during a song when Will Chase was harassed (in fun) by the actors/singers performing on stage. Will was sitting next to Jake so we could see Jake's reaction to it - including when Neil Patrick Harris told Will "don't suck anything"! It's part of a song that a group of actors did who have all done well on Broadway but their recent TV shows have been canceled (funnier if you watch American television I'm sure but those who don't still might get a chuckle out of it - seeing Jake's cute smile is worth it either way IMO)! It's on YouTube - the part I'm mentioning is at about the 2:40 mark: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PWtXV7_fAsI

Now on with the Guy's Choice Awards tomorrow night! :-)

Jake hangin' with The Dude and Cindy Lauper?! OMG! You lucky bastard!

Too bad he couldn't present Cindy with her Tony... in Kinky Boots ;-)
That's definitely the image I'll be using as motivation when I'm "profusely perspiring" during another "Vicious 80's" spin class in Bondi, pumpin' to the tune of Cindy Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". Jake in Kinky Boots. Woopa!!!

love,

Hi everyone! Just dashing off a comment at work to say I've added the video of Jake presenting at the Guy's Choice Awards as shown on US TV last night - thank you, Stephanie!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

*Waves at everyone!*

mermon said...

Thank you Kate for adding the video. I watched it with pleasure! I feel like I should watch The Big Lebowski:) Anyone did? Is it worth?

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Replaced the video with a working one, thanks Steph!

Hi Mermon!

@mermon
The Big Lebowski is a cult classic. Absolutely worth seeing! ;-)
Still in my top 10 of favourite movies ever.

cheers,
lemniscate

Maria said...

Love the big lebowski! So funny, a classic.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Lemniscate and Maria!

I'm going to try an experiment and turn off the robot verification. I do get spam by the bucketload but we'll see how it goes :)

mermon said...

Thank you @lemniscate and @Maria for The Big Lebowski'recomendation. I'll try to find and watch it. From that fragment, shown at the event, it was funny.
@Kate, will I post without the robot verification? Seems fine. I'm curious, how it will go? :)

Sonja said...

It works! :-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi everyone! Some posts are being bombarded with spam comments so I'm keeping an eye on the word verification experiment. It does make it easier to post normal comments...

Hope you're all having a good weekend. We spent the day in Hampshire on the trail of Jane Austen :)
