The Prince of Persia's European Tour reaches Moscow! And Jake Gyllenhaal's taste for English tea and buses (& being interviewed in high places)

The Prince of Persia team is in Moscow! Continuing Jake Gyllenhaal's new trend of being interviewed in high up places (see below), Jake, Gemma Arterton, Jordan Mechner, Jerry Bruckheimer and Mike Newell brave the Moscow rooftops for a photocall with a great backdrop. Admittedly, it's not easy to appreciate the architectural and historical wonders of Moscow, when you have Jake Gyllenhaal and The Jacket in front of you. Having had some amazing adventures in Moscow and Russia over the years, I hope Jake and the others get to see a little of the city (overground and underground), and enjoy a taster of the fiery liquid.








Vodka will make a pleasant change, no doubt, because all the evidence suggests that Jake has been overdoing it on the tea while in London. So much so, he even tells Terri at Extra that his ideal woman must like tea. Obviously, I'm English, I can't get enough of the stuff... Particularly when it isn't tea. But it is rather nice to see Jake being interviewed while at High Tea - I can see clotted cream and a bunch of dainties. Full version here.



Jake also revealed how much he wants to play Joe Namath - when the project is perfectly ready - and how he trained for Prince of Persia. Somehing about riding round stars' homes in LA on a camel and eating twigs.


Talking of tea, Jake told the Sun: 'I love being in London and can walk around pretty free. I love going to Hyde Park, travelling around on a double decker bus and having a nice cup of tea! People are very welcoming in London. It's one of my favourite cities in the world.' Sitting next to Jake Gyllenhaal on a double decker, something every Brit should experience at least once.


Jake looked down on London Town from up high for two interviews. In the first, for ET, Jake proved that his flirting skills are finely honed and not adversely affected by jetlag. You can also see Jake taunt his fanbase.



Jake was also emotional during a rooftop interview for 10 Daily. One minute Jake's talking about his passion for Snickers and, in the next, the ordeal of being hot and sexy gets to him and he takes a moment. As always, whenever Jake is interviewed, I find myself laughing out loud and today, we have had so many, it's been a very good day. And no end in sight as the PoP tour continues.



There are more videos today from London! And here are some of them.





We also have quite a lot more from the London press conference.



Updated to add this great video in which Sir Ben Kingsley talks about Jake's greatest gift as an actor.



I still have much of my own stuff to upload and so I'll do that just the moment that I get the chance in this busy PoP schedule. I will also be emailing the three winners of the little competition later this evening! Many thanks to IHJ for keeping on top of the vids and for the wonderful pictures from the Prince of Persia's European Tour!

Ok, the ET vid is officially my fave, since I was part of of the fan-base he was taunting during that interview. :)

WDW, where do you get the energy for this? I'm still winding down after such a busy weekend and not up for much after work. Well done. :)

sheba said...

Great Videos reliving the moments for us over and over again. Fantastic. Thank you.

Jake and chocolate! I told you they go together well. I love snickers they really are satisfying (often a lunch substitute when in a rush). This week is too awesome for words :DDD

Off to watch the rest of them.

Hey Rubes! I thought of you when he said that! How great to see the way Jake was interacting with his adoring fanbase. Incredible.

To be honest, I think I'm running on fumes - it's very hard to keep up while still digesting it all. Sometimes it hits me - like when I was sitting on the bus (single decker) coming home this evening and all I could think about was the tight squeeze on my arm and the smile in my eyes. How can anyone resist Jake?

Hi Sheba! Amazing videos :D I'm not a snickers fan but I love the idea of Jake craving chocolate!

Hope everyone's having a good evening! So much to catch up on. So much more to come!

sheba said...

Jeez, with all the Jaking we've been experiencing going on this weekend I totally forgot that we still didn't have a decision on Prime Minister yet. Ah well......

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Updated to add a great video - really like this one - Sir Ben talking about Jake and more from Jake about how hard it is to grow hair :D

I WISH I had the time to look at these videos (I'll look at them later tonight) but I just have to ask, why is Jake dabbing his eye? (daily 10 vid)

(I have a community meeting I Have to go to in about an hour)

Hi Sweetpea - you'll have to watch the video! ;D I don't want to spoil it!

Get Real said...

Trying to catch up on everything!

Wow, love that Jake is in Moscow! I have never been but my mom's side of the family is all Russian. Would love to take a trip one day. Hope Jake and the PoP folks enjoy.

LOL at some of the adorable videos. Jake sure knows when to charm, when to make someone giggle, blush, etc. :D

T said...

Hey guys, great videos he was on top form alright...
Jakes interview with live from studio 5 is on Thursday show

He even makes roof tops look sexy now that is a god given talent, Hmmm anyone else picturing Jake & Mr T in those snickers adverts - just me then lol

Wet Dark and Wild said...

It's incredible, isn't it, Get Real?! Unbelievable. And I hope you get over to Russia - I studied art there for a while. I loved Leningrad as it was then. It was still very Cold Warry but I'll never forget walking on the frozen rivers :) The Moscow underground is unbelievable. I hope Jake gets to explore a little.

I love all these videos and each for a different reason :)

Thanks for the info, T! That's good to know. I'd never seen this show before but Ive been recording it each night and it's awful!!! Do you know when Jake may be on the Lorraine show, I recorded that today but no luck I suppose it could have been yesterday.

Roof tops now have a whole new appeal to them!

Get Real said...

So, you have a new government UK. Hope it works out for you all. :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Get Real! I don't want to get into politics here (although very happy to do so outside WDW - I've been a political activist since I was 16 years old) but I have to express myself and say I'm off to drown my sorrows and think PoP thoughts...

These videos are great! :) sooooooo much Jake! Good times. Thanks WDW!

It's great Jake has gone to Russia! I've never been, but i have been to Ukraine which was amazing. They have very similar buildings there. Also, my brother speaks (near) fluent russian as he is living in Kyrgyzstan at the moment but is coming home to go to UCL to study the language full time :D

So there's my Russian connections ;) Oh, and my favourite football player is Russian! Bilyaletdinov. Nearly as difficult to spell as Gyllenhaal ;)

Looking forward to what's to come!

Hi Silver! I love all these videos and they're popping up all the time! Thanks for the link. I have this one saved with some others. I have so much to post!

Night all :D

Wet Dark and Wild said...

PS I went to Kiev a couple of times and loved it - very beautiful and the history was incredible :)

Leslie said...

Hey everyone just got home to try to go through all the goodies in today's post. I did want to share something I just found. It's a contest, the winner gets to go to LA for a PoP screening & gets to meet Jake :-D

Here's the link if anyone is interested! ;-)

I haven't commented in awhile. Lots of things going on lately. So sometimes I have had three days of stuff to catch up with here. So much, that it has been a bit overwhelming. But all in a very good way. WDW, you have done an extraordinary job. Your coverage has been amazing! And I am happy for you that you got to touch and be touched by Jake! :)

Leslie said...

Ok second comment after finally getting through everything.

That first pic of Jake stunned me. I had to take a few minutes to remember to breath again before I could go on with the rest of the post.

I love all the interviews, he really seems to be playing up the hair washing. I must be doing something wrong because my arms aren't that toned. ;-)

I think the Daily 10 interview is my fave so far. Snickers don't seem to be very popular here but I'm a big fan of them.

Monica said...

You do not like tea? Me too.
I did not know they would go to Moscow too.
I look at these pictures and I see that Jake is loving all this. Some of them remind me of BBM in Venice.

I know you're sleeping, but Stephanie has posted the pictures of premiere and jake is so beautiful. How he manages to get more beautiful every minute?

Gemma is beautiful too. Much prettier than in London.

These videos are great. Thanks.

Stace said...

Hi all,

Still catching up on vids and such. But wanted to chime in and say that Snickers got me through college! LOL I love them. At least Jake and I have one thing in common.

tpe said...

Hello again, WDW.

In response to your reply in my last post: I read your entries every day -- late at night (NY time) before I go to bed! ;-)

So even though I don't comment for long stretches, rest assured that I am one of the regulars. :-)

Love, love, love all your observations, pics, vids... everything! WDW you are beyond awesome!!! Thank you soooooo much for giving us this wonderful Jake place - which has always been all about *The Man*!!! And BTW, your PoP Premiere cohorts are pretty fabulous as well! :^)

Love, X

winterbird said...

This has to be a record-breaking post with the number of Jake videos in a single post!!!

FAB!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Morning! Just put another post up with some pics from Mosco last night and also some more interviews!

It's going to take a while catching up and there's a lot more to come. I metioned two TV programmes in the UK that Jake will appear on tomorrow - I'm imagining that these are recorded but who knows! I'm not certain where the PoP team are off to next :D

Good to see you all! We must take time when things quieten down a bit to just chat about all the highlights etc. Still not managed to post some of the photos I want to. Anyway, hellos to leslie, Stace, Dani, Monica, Tpe, X and Winterbird! Thank you so much for the kind words and it's better than fabulous that we're beeing carried along on thi PoP wave together!
