Jake Gyllenhaal's brain power

Over the years, we have grown accustomed to Jake Gyllenhaal protesting that he is not a mathematics man (Proof) or a rocket science man (October Sky) and that dinosaurs gave him a hard time at Columbia. Nevertheless, Jake's on tap knowledge of eastern religious philosophy, not to mention his habit of whipping out a Virginia Woolf novel as if from nowhere, indicates that Jake does indeed have a brain to match his movie star looks, athletic prowess and biceps.



While it may be difficult to appear as an intellectual while flinging one's feisty and drenched love interest over a balcony onto the back of a waiting, patient ostrich, Jake still can do that 'Beautiful Mind' look. Time to take a look at Brainy Jake.













It makes little difference whether it's a book or sword in Jake's hand, Jake has the power to wield both with deadly accuracy.

Includes pictures from IHJ.

What book is Jake as DD holding in has hand? Is there any shoot from another angle?

He is great with a bike. (*drool*) And a horse. :D

And he's great at burning books, even though there are loads of wooden tables that would probably generate more and lasting heat when it's cold... ;)

Hi there Anon :D IT could be Graham Greene's The Destructor, which is the book Ms Pomeroy taught before she was fired.

Hey Anna! Jake is most definitely great with a bike - definitely... I thought that about the wooden tables too. And all the seats in the library. And what about all those clothes in lost property? That library was jam packed full of things better to burn than books! But yes Jake was good at that too!
