Dear Jake,
Did you get the card I sent for turkey day (gobble gobble!)? I hope so. 🙂 Yours still hasn’t arrived, but I’m sure it’s on its way. The Post Office has been busy as of late…
I was surprised to read about you and Reese. Thank goodness the rumors were untrue, but I’m here if you ever need a shoulder.
Yours always,
Karen
In my frantic search to corroborate the breakup rumors, I couldn’t help but notice the breadth of Jake’s hairstyles over the years. He makes bangs look so very fetching!
If/when I earn that spot on Jeopardy! and “Jake Gyllenhaal’s hair” comes up as a topic, I think I’ll be prepared.
Jakeypoo factoids
- Born Jacob Benjamin Gyllenhaal in Los Angeles (December 19, 1980)
- Family has deep Hollywood ties. Dad’s a director, Mom’s a screenwriter, and big sis Maggie’s a star.
- Enjoys woodworking and cooking
- Acting debut was in the 1991 film City Slickers
- Graduated from high school in 1998 and then went on to attend Columbia University, studying Eastern religions and Philosophy; dropped out to pursue film career.
- Feature films include Brokeback Mountain, The Day After Tomorrow, Donnie Darko (my JG fave!) and more
P.S. Jake, I know you’re busy, but before I go, may I ask a favor? I’ve noticed you’ve been growing out your hair for Prince of Persia (due out next spring). Please, please condition at least once/week. Split ends = not cute. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
Amber says
Love Donnie Darko! “I question your commitment to Sparkle Motion.”

A few years back I bought my brother a “Sparkle Motion” t-shirt for Christmas. I earned some serious cool big sister points that year…
savannah says
i have a hard time focusing on his hair when those eyes are staring me down!! *swoons like a 13 year old*
Karen says
I know! I wonder sometimes if he’s wearing clear mascara… he has some seriously fab lashes.
Christina says
I’m sad that his hair can accurately be described with the word “bangs.” I know it’s a technical term, but… it sounds sad on a man. “Fringe” wouldn’t be an improvement, so I guess we’re stuck.
Karen says
Hmm, how about crop? It’s more masculine, but truth be told I kinda hate using it as a noun…
Tatiana says
Karen! Thank you for that Jakey collage, it made my Hump Day that much more…humpier! Heh heh. I can’t wait for the “Brothers” movie because I have crushes on Jakey, Tobey, and Natalie Portman!
Karen says
I’m just doing my part, LOL!
Do you ever mix Jakeypoo and Toby up? I do sometimes!
All Women Stalker says
haha you’re funny, Karen. I love everything except 2 and 3. But I’m sure when I see Prince of Persia, I’d end up loving 3 as well.
Doesn’t he have the most wonderful eyes? *sigh*

Karen says
He does. I think his lashes are my fave…
Tavia says
I’ve voted for 6 :). Can’t wait to see Prince of Persia 🙂

Karen says
Me too! I’ve seen pics of him in costume… apparently he walks around all shirtless and buff in the movie. You know I’ll be there, ha ha!
shontay says
I voted for number 6, but number 4 was close! I’ve loved Jake for a long time. He’s such a good actor and easy on the eyes,too. He’ll have a long career, no doubt and he seems like he would make a good boyfriend. 🙂
Karen says
He seems like he’d be a great boyfriend. I’m glad he and Reese are together!
shontay says
But Karen, I’d prefer if he was with me! 🙂
gio says
I’ve voted number six but I like number 4 too. 🙂

Karen says
Both are good looks for him!
Veky says
With those eyes – who cares about his hair? 😀
But still, I chose #6. He’s really cute :love:

Karen says
LOL Veky!
Mariah says
Hands down, number 6! He’s adorably cute! But then, sometimes he looks just like my cousin, and that freaks me out!
And LOL, #2, he is like 15!! XD
Karen says
He’s a baby in that pic! It’s so early 90s, LOL!
Jenna says
He’s so pretty. I actually like the one with the “elvin sideburns” (though I think that’s not an accurate description!). I think it’s the best hair length for him. Not too short, not too long.
Karen says
LOL, so it’s not the technical term. But can’t you see an elf rockin’ the same cut?
Fabienne says
I love 6 & 8, but his sexxxiest picture (face esp) is 7. Gotta love the mug!!!
Karen says
LOL, the hair is a little high in that one for me… I want to hide pencils in it!
Rebecca says
Oh my god, I had the biggest crush on Jake Gyllenhaal after seeing Donnie Darko! #7 is making me remember why… could we pan the camera down just a little please? 😛

Karen says
Me too!
Wait a few months for Prince of Persia He walks around half dressed a lot in the film, I hear!
Marisol says
oh em gee! When I saw #5, I immediately thought of Edward Cullen. hahaha I need help.
I hope that they don’t break up. They are a cute couple. But I liked Jen & Brad together as well.

Karen says
LOL! Yes you do, ya fangbanger!
Elle says
Um…so you knew it was by birfday today by rewarding me with a Jake Gyllenhaal post, didn’t you?!?!?!?
I’m a sucker for the Jarhead look, so I picked #1. Or maybe that’s just my enjoyment of the “two santa hats and not much else” scene in that movie. Have to admit that’s probably part of it. Yeeesh. 🙂
Karen says
I have a random and useless fact for you: the guy who wrote Jarhead went to my alma mater. Exciting stuff, I know, LOL!
amy says
i just really like buzz cuts!

Karen says
A big plus with buzz cuts is you don’t have to worry about your man using too much of your expensive shampoo/conditioner!
Tania says
I heart Jake G. and his sister Maggie. My vote went with number 6-he just doesn’t need all of that hair to distract from his striking mug. Lucky Reese first she had Ryan P. and now Jake G.
