[Updated update] Jake Gyllenhaal at the US Open Men's Final. And remembering Patrick

Jake Gyllenhaal was on hand to distract Bruce Willis at the US Open Men's Final yesterday - a match which saw Juan Martin Del Potro beat Roger Federer. Is it possible that this is the haircut and look for Jake's Jamie in Love and Other Drugs? If so, then I am a very happy Gyllenhaalic indeed! He looks amazing. Many thanks to IHJ for these wonderful pictures. This post has been added to multiple times, so keeep on checking!


For the benefit of those on this side of the Pond, Jake is here greeting American Idol singer Constantine Maroulis... Wonder if he got Jake's vote.



And we have Peter too...


Another picture (source) shows that Jake also sat close to Tony Bennett. Is it just me or does the guy to Jake's left look a little like Doug Liman?


[Updated again] Thanks to BBMISwear for another picture! BBMISwear has also identified the other person in the preceding pictures as Ebon Moss-Bachrach.


And another update with some more great pictures (source)!




And yet more gorgeous pictures from IHJ. We have multiple drinks, toothpicks, eyes, clapping, hotness. The NYPost also noticed Jake's distractie powers.





And PopSugar gives us Peter Sarsgaard.


Patrick Swayze 1952-2009

Thinking today of Patrick's family and friends and remembering golden movie memories, not least of which was Patrick's portrayal of Jim Cunningham in Donnie Darko.

Jake is so beautiful in these pictures!
RIP Patrick Swayze

Morning everyone! How great is it to see these pictures today :)

Hi Monica! Oh, Jake looks so stunning. I could look at these pictures all day, just beautiful. And I love to see a smile like that.

Sad news

winterbird said...

Gorgeous pics! He's back to his more natural (IMO) slimmer contemporary handsome hunk look :)

Is it just me? or Jake always look better in sport events? *g*

Sorry to hear about Patrick Swayze...

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey Winterbird! Jake really has mastered that 'slimmer contemporary handsome hunk look'!! Sporting events do suit him :D I wonder who he was supporting - as if anyone could focus on tennis - final or not - with Jake around :) These pics have put a smile on my face:D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I've just updated the post with another pic and the identity of the mystery handshaker (well, a mystery to me!)

TD said...

But who is the guy Jake is sitting next to?
RIP PS, that's sad news.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi TD! In which pic? I was wondering in the last pic if it was Doug Liman but that's a long shot!

Beautiful pics of Jake - and an exciting match! Fun to see all the other stars there with him too. :)

So sorry to hear about Patrick Swayze, I'ved loved his work in so many films. Will miss him.

Loved AfterElton's article about Brokeback being the favorite again - I've read it over and over because it was and is such a profound film.

That's sad news about Patrick Swayze. I loved hime in DD.

OMG, is this really how Jamie's gonna look? Can we send a thank you card to LOD's director? This is my perfect look for Jake, his hair and stubble are just the way I like them. He's absolutely drop-dead gorgeous. Unfortunately, that means I'm gonna be drooling all over myself watching this movie. How embarassing will that be? :D

Have a nice day everyone!

Hi Bertie! I wish I'd been able to see the match on TV. I bet it was exciting. I always like spotting stars at these events - and Jake being there... I always keep an eye open at Wimbledon, just in case.

Hey Olympia! I'm with you on sending the thank you card! I suppose they may want Jake clean shaven but otherwise, it looks like he's had the hair cut for the role (maybe they were doing that kind of thing, like wardrobe etc, in Pittsburgh last week). Absolutely spot on perfect! Just how I like him.

After all these films where I've not liked Jake's hair etc or he's been too young to drool over, now there's Brothers, PoP and LAOD and I'll be drooling through all of those :DD Good old Zwick :D Jake reminds me of Cannes Jake here... sigh...

Gail said...

Thank You WDW I was wondering who the long haired guy was. And shame on me, I didn't recognize Bruce Willis. Hard to see anyone when we have Jake to look at. And I also forgot that Jake acted with Patrick Swazye in Donnie Darko. RIP Patrick we will miss your beautiful face.

BBMISwear said...

I am agreement with many here...Jake is Lookin' Good! :-) And if this is going to be his "look" in LaOD, well, WHOOOWHEEEE to that!! You mention his look in the more current movies, WDW, and I was just thinking about that recently. All these different more current looks for him in Bros, PoP and LaOD are all so different but all so hot in their own way. Oh it's great to be a Jake fan these days!

And sightings of Jake and Anne?! Did I say Whooowhee yet?! Being on the east coast more may mean more sporting event possibilities - (Yankees, Red Sox, Pirates, Steelers, Giants, Jets - studying up for Namath maybe?)! He's never been one for football but the Pittsburgh Steelers are a very big team right now and whether he wants to or not he may get caught up in it with the citizens of Pittsburgh doing so. Eyes glued to the sports channels (not too hard in my house since I'm surrounded by sports freaks)!

Loving the Oliver Platt/Heath/Jake connection. *heavy sigh*

Sad news about Patrick Swayze...wonderful clips on television of him...died too young. :(

BBMISwear said...

One more thing re: who is at the game with Jake...I had to go look at a picture of Doug Liman again to see if I thought this was him and I think it just might be WDW! Yay...good news for the moon movie maybe?!

Oh, and I'm not sure if this has already been discussed but I think the other guy he is with is Ebon Moss-Bachrach.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I had no idea who the long-haired guy was either, Gail :) But Jake looks like a fan! I must admit that it took several attempts before I recognised Bruce and even - shame on me - Peter... Jake is just so... distracting :D

Hey BBMISwear! We're going to be moving into the theatres in 2010. When I saw my mum at the weekend, I told her I would be unavailable for communication from 28 May for an entire month. She's making a note on her calendar.

You are my USA sports guru and I rely on you for all the team info and all the terms (otherwise I'll just make 'em up :D).

I'm glad you agree with me about Doug - it does look like him and same expression etc. Definitely bodes well for Un/Named Moon. Maybe they're trying to sort something out before Jake gets sucked into LAOD.

Good job with the Ebon ID. I would never have recognised him. He was in Mona Lisa Smile, wasn't he? I don't know him too well though.

All good stuff!! :-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

PS BBMISwear :-) I think tennis is a game we can agree on re terms etc :D I think we'll agree it's a racket.

Monica said...

Congratulations Del Poltro!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Monica! You mean there was also a tennis match?? ;)

Monica said...

A great match with a happy ending!

I love tennis since the days of Sampras and Agassi!
I also loved seeing our Brazilian Gustavo Kuerten!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I don't have cable/satellite tv unfortunately, Monica, so I couldn't see it but I hope I get to see some highlights tonight. I'm a big tennis fan too - but Jake distracts me :D I'm still a Boris Becker and Lendl fan :)

Monica said...

IMDB
My cousin's son is playing Jake's son. He got the part the other day. I wanna say his name is gonna be Cody. I can't remember. Watch when they have the rest of the cast. The little boy playing Jake's son, his real name is Joseph.

First day of filming is Sept. 18th.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Thanks, Monica! It's all so exciting :D So Jamie is a dad too (always makes me think of Jake in Zodiac making sandwiches for the kids...). I heard somewhere else too that film starts on Friday. Very exciting :D I hope we get pics, news, the lot!

Monica said...

always makes me think of Jake in Zodiac making sandwiches for the kids...

I love this scene!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I love that scene too :)

Added more pics to the post!

BBMISwear said...

I think I have to say I like the most recent picture we found the best. I like, ummm, the buttons on his shirt.

Yes...Ebon was in Mona Lisa Smile and a short film with Maggie and Peter a couple of years ago. I think he's more known for US TV shows though (but I don't watch TV shows).

I didn't find any video highlights yet but I believe the whole match (match...not game...match!) will be rebroadcast on the tennis channel this afternoon so I will record it and report back (I need to find a way to send things to you via my television...)??? Oh, hell, just come on over for a visit ;) (BTW - Yes, I have the tennis channel...and 600 other cable stations that I don't even know I have. And if Jake wasn't at the US Open yesterday I wouldn't know I had this one either...LOL)!!

Yay...we agree...it's a racquet!! (But we don't agree on the spelling).

Well I should be working but now that I'm this new huge tennis fan (ahem) I must admit I'm not getting much done today. :-)

BBMISwear said...

And as I type you posted even MORE pictures! I am just not going to get a thing done today! Help!!!

Anonymous said...

Ha, love the black shirt (open) and hand on chin thinking pic, just gorgeous.

I'm surrounded by sports too - but if you can't beat 'em, join 'em, and now I love them too. I didn't watch the match entirely, but I peeked as my husband had it on, and then later it was the season opener for the Patriots . . . Red Sox and Celtics, Nascar. ah well.

I'm starting to get excited about LAOD. It's looking really good.

Bertie

Monica said...

Sorry, but who is Constantine Maroulis?

Anonymous said...

He's an American Idol winner(?) or was a top contender, and he's doing Rock of Ages now. I wonder if the movie version is still being considered for Jake?

Bertie

get real said...

Jake is looking so good at the Open!! Awesome pics of him, Peter, Bruce, Tony, Doug, etc. Had to LOL at Constantine. Did love Rock of Ages though.

RIP, Patrick Swayze.

Silver said...

YAY! Has Jake ever been to a tennis event before? I don't remember seeing him at one..

I love tennis :) I was neutral in this final as Federer is God and Del Potro is a Youngun (I was gutted Roddick went out!) I did watch the game on sky sports (which was fantastic) But no mention of Jake :( only mentioned bruce willis and jack nicholson as far as i remember.

So sad about Patrick Swayze <3 RIP

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hey everyone! This is all so exciting!!! I made it back from work and the gym (having been savaged by a mosquito - eight bites in a line) to discover from Stephanie more pics at IHJ! Many thanks to her - these are beauts. Added to the post :)

I think it's 99.9% certain that more pics will be added - I don't want to stop the discussion by moving on, so I'll just keep adding :D

Hey Bertie :D The open black shirt is a definite bonus... I like the sports too but unfortunately most of them are not on 'normal' TV here. I can't wait for LAOD :DD

Thanks for answering Monica's (and my) question. That's quite a coincidence about Rock of Ages. Hmmm...

Hi Get Real! They're amazing pics :D

Hey Silver! Jake was at the US Open Men's Final back in 2007 (after Toronto). He went with Chris. They were lovely pics there too. Thanks for the update on what Sky reported. I've seen some pics of others there, including Jack, Justin Timberlake and various Olsens... Wonderful pics.

Time to open a bottle and toast Patrick Swayze (and Keith Floyd).

Wet Dark and Wild said...

I missed your post in the middle BBMISwear! Yeah, no work for you. Just look at the pics (and thanks for the emails!).

You have the Tennis Channel! You have such a thing? Ahh, the mysteries of US TV. I thought I was doing well with my 30 channels :D

Can we agree that it's a ball and settle on the same spelling? I think you should just give up on today and start afresh tomorrow :D So look for more pics!

BBMISwear said...

Yes...a Ball is a Ball and pretty easy to spell...B-A-L-L!!

I think Bertie and I are living the same life...Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics...don't forget the Bruins! And now tennis matches on the Tennis Channel!

Speaking of...I am watching the replay for any audience movement by men in long sleeve black shirts. I'm trying to figure out by the pictures if he was sitting on the sunny side or not (based on sun shadows and sun glasses) so I know where to look when they show the audience. Any input?!

I'm trying to ignore your advice to give up on work and just look at pictures but now with the match TV it's getting even harder to concentrate here!!!

I am loving all the pictures that keep getting added and added...DON'T STOP!!!!

:-)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Keep your eyes peeled, BBMISwear! I've tried to work out where they're sitting but it's too hard, so watch every row :D Never mind about the work - Spot Jake instead :-)

I just added a pic of Peter :D

Anonymous said...

Constantine maybe got to 5th or 6th on IDOL..the Tony's were on 3 or so months ago and he was nominated for a Tony for Rock of Ages.
Numerous people from Idol have gone on to do quite well..Jennifer Hudson - Oscar and some of them have won Grammy's..and others gone on to Broadway. If someone is appearing in a musical i have read there will always be a spike in sales.
Years and Years ago use to be the Ted Mack Amateur Hour where people went on to sing and they could win. Patsy Cline was on it.
The of course "Star Search".
There are talented people over the years who have appeared on shows to sing and hope for a career so Idol is just the latest.

Anonymous said...

And meant to say also Constantine was just a performer in the show not sure if he had much sway about who would be in a movie of it.

Anonymous said...

That pic of Jake looking up watching the ball in play is just absolutely stunning. A very handsome face. Peter looks great as well. :)

sheba said...

Loving the updates of the updated updates WDW. Its great to see my ... erm ... I mean our gorgeous Jake looking relaxed before he gets into 'Drugs' :D

I watched that match until about 2 in the morning but fell asleep. I had no idea Roger didn't win but worse was that Jake was there??!?! I would have got tooth picks to prop open the eyes or to prod me to stay awake. Serves me right for not checking here enough. Though I felt the crowd were unruly, noisy and a bit disrespectful of the players (I guess its not fair to judge them by Wimbledon's standards)

He looks wonderful in black. Makes his features pop. I'm sure he had a great time. Wonder who he was cheering for? Anyway, next year hope to see him at W10.

Keep the updates coming WDW. Your sending me off to work a happy woman ;DD

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Good morning everyone! I love these pics... Been showing them around the office :D

Thanks for all the info 0.09 :D I know nothing about him so it's good to get the background. It makes me wonder - after the talk about Jake going to be in a movie version - if Jake went to see Rock of Ages and met the cast afterwards. Just a thought...

Hi 1:28 :D That's a beautiful picture and I did like that one of Peter. A very handsome man :)

Hey there Sheba! My mum watched it on Sky and I phoned her for a full report (of Jake in the audience, not of the match ;D) and she fell asleep during it too. Noone wears a black shirt (or a white shirt - or any coloured shirt for that matter). I'm hoping for a Wimbledon visit too.

Glad you've gone to work happy. I've gone to work very itchy with my dozen plus gnat bites yesterday :/

Have a great day everyone!

JakeFan said...

Jake in that black shirt... I would jump on him and do naughty things to him. :D

Michelle Williams Vogue interview.

Very touching. :)

paulh said...

You beat me to it, JakeFan. I was just about to break the Michelle Williams interview in Vogue.

BBMISwear said...

More and More and More US Open pics...it's hard to keep up...but I'm NOT complaining!

Okay...so I'm ready for some Pittsburgh pics now (I never thought I'd say something like that)!

*waits patiently for more pictures*

JakeFan said...

You beat me to it, JakeFan. I was just about to break the Michelle Williams interview in Vogue.

Great minds think alike. :)

Anonymous said...

I'm glad to see Jake got some guy time. And it looks like they had fun. I didn't see Bruce and Jake making any contact or Jake even noticing he was sitting near legendary singer Tony Bennett. That doesn't mean that after the game they couldn't have greeted each other.

It looks like it was an intense game and Jake really was enjoying himself.

I was so sad to hear about Patrick, I loved him in Dirty Dancing and Ghost. I'd have to watch DD again to figure out what part he played. It's been a while

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi there everyone! Good to see you all - having rather a stressful day... These pics do help!

Thanks for the link to the Michelle interview, JakeFan (and for Paul for nearly posting it!). It's very touching and sad.

Pittsburgh pics! How I want those too, BBMISwear :-) Here's hoping everyone in Pittsburgh gets issued with a new camera :D

Hi Sweetpea! It sounds like it was quite a game. It's a real perk of being a star that you get good seats for these events. Jake should take each of us as his guest in turn :D

Patrick Swayzee was wonderful in DDarko - Jim Cunningham was some creation. I'd like to watch it again too.

I hope everyone is having a better day than me!

Anonymous said...

Is it just me, or is Peter looking especially hot lately?

Jake is always hot. He is particularly hot in these pictures. Scortching hot, even. But I am also noticing Peter. A lot. Maybe I am PMS-ing... or something.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

It's not just you, Anon :D Peter looks very good indeed...

Anonymous said...

LOL Anon 15:56! It's not just you, I agree, Peter looks hot. But the pictures of Jake seem to get hotter and hotter. The one of just him sitting with his sunglasses and his toothpick... that oh so tantalizing peek of chest hair...*sigh*... I can't stop looking at it.

Good to see you all - having rather a stressful day

This sucks! I hope you'll have a nice evening after the stressful day.

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Olympia! I've spent quite some time looking at these pics - I absolutely adore them. Maybe my favourite of the year (excluding leaping wet Prince Dastan Jake :D)! Just stunning!

Thanks so much, JakeFan :) I hope you're having a good evening.

New post - kind of :D
