These are some new photos of Jake Gyllenhaal in Madrid today, promoting Source Code and working his butchest stubble. I do have to say – Jake is a good looking guy. He’s not my type or anything, but I see the appeal for some ladies. He’s actually the kind of guy my mother would pick for me – she loves “young men” like this – classically handsome, kind of vanilla, giving off a slightly metrosexual/gay vibe. You know she loves these days? Nathan Fillion! She constantly refers to him as “my kind of man.” Anyhoodle…
Jake is shilling in Europe because Source Code needs to make some money and Jake needs to be seen as a convincing leading man, domestically and internationally. Source Code came in second place last weekend, behind Hop, and I’ll bet the studio is hoping that Europe and Asia can support this film. But will Jake ever really be seen as a convincing leading man, in the style of… like, Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise (back in the day)? I don’t know. To get that kind of image, Jake is definitely going to have to butch it up even more. No more apple-cider-soaked cuddlefests with Taylor Swift. No more barely-legal wispy blondes. Jake needs a woman. Unfortunately, the boy has a type, as E! news reports that he was just seen out on a date with a young woman who “looked like a cross between Rachel McAdams and Taylor Swift.” Oh, Jake.
Despite his ex Reese Witherspoon putting a ring on it last weekend, Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t crying into an order of cheese fries. He’s strong.
Gyllenhaal was spotted at trendy Locande Verde restaurant in Tribeca this weekend having brunch with a mystery blonde who, according to our fellow-munching spy, “looked like a cross between Rachel McAdams and Taylor Swift.” Jake sure does love those blondes! Or, at least, pretends to…
“Jake was in a dark-blue pullover and jeans, and the girl was wearing a ruffled blouse and jeans,” adds our source. “It was a casual meeting in the back corner booth. They were laughing and enjoying each other’s company.”
We saw the accompanying cell-phone pic, which was really too grainy to publish. But one thing was crystal clear about Jake’s mood: That guy gives animated private-booth face. Dude was workin’ it for the blondie babe, for sure.
[From E! News]
Ugh. This is not helping! Whether or not Jake likes man-meat, it’s pretty clear that for the foreseeable future, we are stuck with Straight Jake. So if we’re being sold Straight Jake, Jake the Leading Man, Jake the Romantic, Jake the Butch, can we please get some better quality stuff to work with? If Jake has another Swift-esque catastrophe, his career will seriously take a hit. He needs to stop with these wispy little blondes and butch it up with a busty brunette bitch. Off the top of my head… Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr. See, if you put him with a girl that looks like that, it would be difficult to convince people that he wasn’t screwing her.
Also, is it just me or is Jake’s bulge… odd? I think he might have stuffed.

The bulge does look strange, but I think it’s the jeans. The crotch looks like it’s a little constricting.
I’m on the fence about his gaydom because I certainly wouldn’t be shocked if he was, but I can’t see Reese Witherspoon being a beard for that long and he seems like a genuine guy, who wouldnt hide if he were in fact gay. The whole Taylor Swift thing though was really when I started raising my eyebrow. That was just friggin weird. And I vote Jessica Szohr too. She’s a hottie.
Oh Jake! Say it ain’t so! 🙁
If he needs a “busty brunette bitch” I’m available! *sigh* a girl can dream…
Just figured out what irritates me about Swifty’s look-I think she’s gorgeous, and I’m fine with finding your look and sticking with it…
BUT THE D*MN PIGEON TOES ARE KILLING ME! WALK STRAIGHT AHEAD LIKE YOU KNOW WHERE THE EFF YOU’RE GOING.
“He needs to stop with these wispy little blondes and butch it up with a busty brunette bitch.”
From your (busty brunetter) lips to God’s ear (lol).
I think Jake has real potential as a leading man. There is a certain mystique about him that isn’t sexually confusing. Perhaps a role that is more clever and intellectual than macho. Something that will establish a real masculine, in control, dominating presence on the screen. Yeah, Jake can get there from here with the right script.
Mmmmm….Nathan Fillion….he’s so cute… Jake is blah, but I’d take Nathan…Can we get some Castle lovin’ on Friday please? 🙂
Jake has my undying love for Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain but no matter what his orientation is he needs to stop with the PR relationships with wispy little things like Swift. He should take 6 months without being linked to anyone then get together with a woman of substance (beard or not).
What is going on with Swifty’s toes in that shoe.
Oh Jake, stop thinking with the wrong head. You need a woman not these school girl chicks to hump your piece of ass. (Sorry, I lack caffine today). He definitely has a leading man role potential.
I just don’t think he’s gay. And I think they threw in that Rachel/Swifty stuff to try and make nothing into a story.
I am, however, so sick of Taylor Swift’s pigeon toed innocent shit.
He needs to go the way of Orlando Bloom.. I’m sure Orly isn’t gay, but pick a VS model. Win Win, pretty people everywhere.
Unfort I’m married but I will pretend to be his busty brunette bitch….
Same here, KJ. I have been touting his hetero-ness since people thought he was gay because he “played one on t.v.” (Brokeback). I SERIOUSLY doubt Reese would have pretended for THAT long, you know? The thing I take away from the Swifty debacle is that she is too young for him and he realized it AFTER she fell for him. Maybe their people set it up, they had a couple of dates – it was too public for him, she was too immature, whatever….Oh, man….I STILL DON’T GET IT! Why HER Jake? Stupid pigeon toes and Holly Hobbie dress!!
I don’t think Jake’s career took a hit by dating Swifty. Before dating Taylor I would have never paid any attention to Jake. I didn’t really care for him as an actor. Now I know who he is and you have to admit over the past couple of months Jake has become increasingly popular with the ladies. Swifty is a nice girl who has a lot going for her in her career. Why would that bring Jake down??
I feel like he’s better suited to drama roles or rom-coms. He was quite witty on The Daily Show.
I just dont buy him in the playboy and action hero roles he keeps taking, ya know?
I like Jake and dont care if he’s gay or straight but The Source Code was one of the longest 90 minute movies I ever saw. I was actually counting the minutes until it finally ended. I thought he did well for the story but idk, something just didnt work with that movie.
brunette – YES, Jessica Szor – NO (too young, too sketchy). make it Liv Tyler, would’t they make a spectacular couple, mm?
Let me get this straight. If he dates a brunette rather than a blonde, people will believe that he is not gay? Ummmm ok. Sounds like someone is bitter against thin blondes.
to Macey:Well…I have to disagree:)
I know source code didn’t do too well in the opening week,but I love it with a passion.:)
but I can understand why some people don’t like it.For me,it is the best performance of Jake and his best film since Brokeback Mt.
I have doubt about Jake being leadin man during prince of persia time, but not anymore now.All he need is a good director and good script.
Other than the last pic,I don’t have anything to complain.:)
I agree with Macey. I wanted to walk out in the first half hour. It was one of the most boring movies that I have seen. Although, his performance was ok considering that the movie sucked.
If you think SC is one of the most boring film you have ever seen, I bet you didn’t see Skyline ot The last airbender.
He quenches my thirst in a lot of way
I love Nathan Fillion! Have you done a hot guy Friday with him yet?
He is so damn cute. He needs to come sit on Mummy’s lap and be a good boy….
Oh look at me, I’m so fragile and cute. Oh!
I hate pigeon-toed Taylor.
@Fire:
OMG, you are so right: Swifty IS wearing a Holly Hobbie dress! This explains so much! She’s a doll–sweet and smiley and stuffed with hypo-allergenic fluff– from her long, yarn locks down to her soft little T- strap Mary Janes.
I agree with everyone else, too: Jake needs a REAL woman who will whisper shockingly naughty things in his ear while hiding the contols for his Wii!! I don’t think he’s gay, but he comes across as one of those sensitive, kind of wussy, “Aw, Shucks” type of men (which would explain his attraction to Swify in the first place).
Adding another plea for Nathan on Hot Guy Fridays! He’s the best thing on TV.
After he broke up with Kristin Dunst he has never been the same. He weathered that break up well because he kind of seemed like the sober one who was ready to settle down with a wife, and a dog,maybe a have a few children, while she was the one who came across as the raging binge drinker who just wanted to get sloppy with her girlfriends every night. And then it seemed like she was wanting him back so bad which served more to his favor. But then he got with Reese Witherspoon (Honey does like the blonds) and he seemed so needy and clingy and weak. And then he did that Prince of Persia movie and started doing weird interviews with Ryan Seacrest about not wearing sandals for the movie. After that, there were the horrible 1970s porn photos with Anne Hathaway, and the bizarre long walks in the park with Taylor Swift. His image for the past couple of years has been one of a lonely pillow weeper.
the boy is beautiful! i love his blue eyes.
i don’t think he’s gay. he looks like d type of guy you’ll easily trust because he seems so earnest only to find out he’s actually a very naughty boy.lol
he looks like a private person too.
@Rhiley,nothing wrong with pillow weeping. it could be rather sweet,initially!.
HAHAHAH!
for some reason, stuffing is SO GAY, to me.
jake isnt butch enough. he’s just sweet, darlingish, and walking that tightrope between your regular boy next door and douche with all these barely legal blondes.
something about him reminds me of a more feminised ryan gosling.
ah, it’s all that brokeback mountain’s fault.
truth be told, he has his own kind of hotness.
Friggin’ Ted Casablanca again! He stole this from somebody’s Facebook and embellished it. They spotted Jake having brunch with a Taylor Swift look-alike but no mention of her resembling Rachel McAdams.
Taylor’s pigeon toes, knock knees and poor posture make her look awkwardly immature. Plus she looks like Spike from Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Seriously, Google it.
This is the only time I have felt compelled to comment but…having met Nathan fillion can tell you, the guy is Very into the ladies. I have met many celebs through my work. I have never felt the need to “defend” (in inverted commas as I dont feel they need to be defended…their lives are their own)…Nathan though…he’d want EVERYONE swooning…and you would if you met him… *shudders at Capt’in Mal*
Wasn’t it just yesterday everyone was yelling that the joke about him on the ACMs was wrong, wrong, wrong? But a blog about how he needs to butch up is okay?
Ted C ticks me off. I don’t care if Jake is gay/straight, but I think it is wrong that Ted C gets away with posting those blind items and stories about Toothy Tile and people believe it. Come on, do we really think Jake G. has a secret child somewhere?
Did anybody see his movie “Sex and other Drugs” with Anne Hathaway? HATED IT! Anne was naked in almost the whole movie…..nasty! I don’t find her attractive. Maybe just me, but I felt like I wasted my evening watching the flick.
I seriously doubt the woman is a Taylor lookalike. Everytime a celebrity goes out with a new person they are called a lookalike just because they have the same hair color. I doubt the new girl is a 6ft blond with long curly hair.
It wasn’t Taylor’s age that creeped me out. It’s her mental age that made the relationship seem creepy. She acts like a 12 year old. If Jake started dating Kristen Stewart I wouldn’t feel so disgusted.
lolly – I believe that, and please don’t think I was insinuating that Nathan Fillion seems anything other than hetero. I was just mentioning that he was the kind of guy my mom goes for.
Oh la Jessica Szohr would be hot with him or maybe Rihanna- now that would be sexy!
Or Leighton Meester?
I think Jake likes ’em young (emotionally ie. Dunst and/or numerically ie. Swift) because he is emotionally immature. He may have been making the more mature choice in Reese BUT, I always got the feeling it didn’t work out because she mothered him. Until he grows up, he’ll never truly know what he wants in a woman.
Please, please, PLEASE do more stories and photos on Nathan Fillion! He is my kind of guy (along with your Mother!) and I would love to see him on Hot Guy Friday!!! PS..Jake’s bulge is caused by jeans that are too big, I think!
@mln76: I agree with everything you said 100%.
Also ~ DD forever 😀 .
Or how about Rasheda Jones?
I think I’m enjoying this too much, I’ll stop
I hafta disagree that Jake is generic cute. I’ve always seen him as unclassically good-looking. But that is just me 🙂
I think the odd bulge is new jeans.
I like Taylor but that seemed like an ODD pairing. She just seems too young for him. Very different from the seemingly self-assured grown woman that is Reese.
Lastly, I would LOVE to be the naughty brunette whispering dirty, dirty things in Jake’s ear!
🙂
He was also good in Brothers with Tobey McGuire. I could see leading man potential from that.
Jake will never be happy until he gets a “girl” with a crank bigger than his own.
um!! Jake is doing it for me, he is certainly handsome, i said on his last post, i think he is just quiet strong and private, i like that, manley, he has leading man qualities IMO
Nathan Fillion!!!!! And Jake is hot, too, guess I have a type.
What is is with all these pigeon-toed bitches? Swifty and all of you doing the strange off-center foot thing. Cut. It. Out. It does not make you look flirty or like you just don’t care. It makes you look clumsy and dumb.
Thank you thank you. I have always hated TS. Ugly and nasty, false. she can’t even speak right in commercials. Tell her to go away.
My Dad and Step-Mom saw Source Code and they said it was terrible.
Jenny Lewis, Kirsten Dunst, Reese, Taylor…he likes good girls who seem down to earth or like they’d want to stay home or settle down. He misjudges them, but I think that’s what he looks for, first impression wise.
