«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 2855 Newer› Newest»I come here for a good laugh every now and then. I don't make up entire backstories about people I don't know, that's for sure. I just follow the gossip, I don't create it.
Oh right, you're so much better than the rest. Cut the crap honey, you know why you're here and so we. At least I'm not pretending.
19:21, come out of hiding and call me PG to my face. Sorry, that's not a handle for you.
And spare me the Mom/Counselor talk. That's a sorry attempt.
Well, guys, looks like the trolls have moved over here. They're upset about something, who knows what.
Aren't you away from your turf too, Porthos? Doesn't take you long to stamp out dissent, does it? Even on another blog. It really is a gang of four.
My experiment was correct. Talk about phoney, hypocritical lurkers! Posting anonymously too. :(
I come here for a good laugh every now and then.
Silly liar.
Posting anonymously. For shame, PG and Destiny!
And trolling other blogs. Tsk-tsk.
The good laugh is the desperate reaching via time-consuming little keyboard pictures and obscure names painfully drawn from Google. That's what trolling has been reduced to.
^^Are you on sentry duty over here tonight or what? Don't you have your own blog? A chapter to update? Something? Someone says a few words about a woman Jake may or may not be dating and the few, the proud, the believers come over from all four corners of the blogosphere to stamp it out! In theory, can't we all have a separate opinion? Especially on Jackie's blog?
Since when Jake dates women? lol
I doubt he cares if "you don't like him bearding".
lol, I'm sure he doesn't care, but so what?
And the more you and others demand he come out or try to force him out (and I don't mean Ted C), Jake will probably not come out until he's done with his career.
lol, now you've contradicted yourself. If he doesn't care, then why would anything we say influence him one way or another?
You must think we're pretty powerful if Jake makes decisions based on what is said here! LOL.
Just read on JJB that Ryan P confirmed that his and Reese's children do not get invested in who they date. "they just don't" was a quote from Ryan. So the chin did use her kids as PR and so did Jake. And Ryan allowed it.
Why is so hard to believe that Jake dates women? Isn't that what CLOSETED gay men do all the time?
No parent would. :(
According to his visit on the Howard Stern show, Ryan also said he & Reese are good friends now. She called him after his break up and he called her after her break up.
I don't have a hard time believing Jake "dates" women to keep up his bearding. And now after seeing the faded shade of red carpet breakout this week of Jake and Isabel, it's more than apparent.
Nope, I don't have a problem believing it at all.
8:43, don't try to be logical, it doesn't work.
20:14, your pain is showing.
Isn't that what CLOSETED gay men do all the time?
Well, some people call it dating, others call it bearding. And, yeah, they do it all the time.
No, I'm talking about gays dating women and making them to believe they are are into them, and then acting not interested and leaving girls wondering what they did wrong
I wonder if Jakey is one of those...
;D
Maybe Kirsten is stalking Jake, I just saw the pics (just jared) of her and her freinds outside the cafe where Jake and his Mom were having lunch on Saturday. It seems as if the pics are showing Kirsten looking at Jake and his Mom walking away from the cafe but who knows.
I don't think Kirsten wants Jake anymore but I do think she's bitter, just a hunch.
Jake stop going out with straight women, you just make them bitter in the end. You are every straight woman's fantasy, you're smart, sexy, funny and wickedly good looking. Plus you would never cheat on a woman with another woman.
PG I think you hit the nail right on the head the other night when we spoke. A troll dosent come to OMG or WFT2 with their nonsense to make any of us feel bad. They troll because they are scared to death that Jake is Gay. The chance of Jake being str8 is about as much as Paris Hilton being a virgin.
How do you like Mama meeting Isabel in Montreal Tom, Jake sure moves fast!
Kiki is a crackhead, no way Mama wil allow that to happen again.

Keep dreaming.........
Believe I dont think Mama G takes seriously what is best for Jake. I think she is more concerned about his career and fame and what comes with that than her sons soul.
Heath is every straight woman's fantasy, make no mistake about it.
I loved Heath as an actor and he did seem to be a very nice,intelligent guy but I never thought he was too much attractive in the looks department.
Beauty and sexiness is a very subjective thing,anyways
Yes. I always felt Heath was real looking. I'm not much for the manufactured types.
No, I'm talking about gays dating women and making them to believe they are are into them, and then acting not interested and leaving girls wondering what they did wrong
Oh, I see. No, I don't think Jake is one of those because I don't think it's a big secret in HW that he's not straight :)
From the Huffington post:
"Ryan Phillipe and Abbie Cornish broke up about four months ago, but it wasn't until late February that her publicist announced the split, amidst rumors of Ryan's infidelity"
Four months ago, that would be December. Jake and Reese broke up (announced 11/29 but confirmed about 2 weeks later). If true it appears that all 4 broke up around the same time, coincidence??
I think that Reese and Jake ended around Oct. but they were going to pretend until Pop but Reese got wind of Ryan and Abby breaking up and she wanted to beat them to the punch, that would explain why Abby and Ryan waited a few months before they made it official.
Ted keeps saying she pulled the plug and this would make sense, she needed a BF because Ryan had a GF, once she got wind of Rtan and Abby, she "dumped" Jake.
She hooked up with Toth because she got wind of a new GF in the works for Jake and wanted ot get a new BF.
This is why I said Isabel was a step up, and everybody lost their minds.
Heath was SEX on legs, no doubt about it - not pretty (he would NEVER have considered a nose job) not manufactured, not perfectly dressed, not perfectly groomed by HW standards - but he was real and he was absolutely gorgeous, imo :)
"She hooked up with Toth because she got wind of a new GF in the works for Jake and wanted ot get a new BF."
Is Reese thinking she is still in highschool?
^^Heath was SEX on legs, no doubt about it - not pretty (he would NEVER have considered a nose job) not manufactured, not perfectly dressed, not perfectly groomed by HW standards - but he was real and he was absolutely gorgeous, imo :)
IT,TA, Totally. :) *swooning*
Heath: His hairdo on TTIHAY was beyond horrible ut,he looked quiet good in "The Order" and "Monster's ball".
He could be ugly, pretty, groomed or untidy, old or young..
I guess it was part of his veraltility
^^
Auch. I meant versatility
Well, look at his hair in TDK. And to me, that's where he was his sexiest, the way he carried himself and that eff everbody attitude. There was just something about him, at least for me. Plus he was just so talented.
10:23: Yes. I also believe she really isn't dating Toth either but she has to lay it on thick because I have a feeling (and she knows) we are going to get the full onslaught of Jake and Isabel with Pop. Fanboys know her from Tranformers, a plus.
Rahael McAdams may be a better choice but she was not in their plans, Isabel was. The had no idea that Rachel and Jake would cause such a commotion. If Rachel was willing then they would have changed plans but McAdams has too much class to get involved in something like that, something Ted has alluded to. He thinks that down the line Jake and Rachel might hook up but I don't see it.
Destiny was wringing her virtual hands over at OMG a few days ago, lamenting over the "choice" of Isabel as a beard, so I was just wondering what was wrong with her, other than her gender. :(
Well, wrong gender is at the top of the list. I know trolly keeps beating that dead horse about how I am mad and upset that Jake doesn't come out, but that is not the case. I am mad and upset that he beards. I'd love to see him come out, but I'm not "demanding" it.
I know nothing about Isabel, my reaction to her was based on reading the comments at ONTD. Everyone seems to dislike her, which would Jake would have some of the the same problems he had with Reese when it comes to his fans. They posted a really hideous picture of her, and they were all saying she can't act and is dumb as dirt. Finally, we have that whole dating one guy in a car wreck with another story.
Isabel strikes me as a hanger-on, possibly a professional beard, and possibly a lesbian.
Just don't see how any of that is a positive for Jake.
The whole Isabel think stinks to high heaven of made-up pr bullshit. I'll believe it when I see it.
The way Jake is desperately looking for a beard is so sad and pathetic. The only thing he hasn't done yet is puting an advertisement on the papers.
Well..at least he has his millions to compensate.
It is a little soon to be as serious as the gossip says with her, but in a way, I'll be glad when it's over. It's tiresome now.
I think Isabel Lucas is very beautiful and I sense a "free spirit" vibe from her. And if she is really a lesbian then she could be a pal to Jake, a friendly beard and not a pain in the ass like Chin was.
Jake needs a gal while promoting PoP, there is no option there,i'm, afraid.. I think this Isabel chick would do just fine for that short while.
I think Isabel Lucas is very beautiful and I sense a "free spirit" vibe from her.
I'm sorry, I like that. So sue me. Remember that "list" Reese supposedly had for Jake? Ghastly. I know it was all made-up, but just the idea of it. I'd rather have "free spirit" fiction any day.
"Jake needs a gal while promoting PoP, there is no option there,i'm, afraid.. I think this Isabel chick would do just fine for that short while.'"
Yep it's Disney promoting a family film and they all know about the Jake gay rumors and Reese didn't hold up her end so....Isabel is the new Reese except younger, sexier and prettier. Just have to endure it, well at least Jake will have fun.
Ryan's interview certainly contradicted alot of what Jake and Reese were putting out there though via PR. Maybe Ryan is smarter than I thought or he picked up a thing or two from the chin.
I'm not sure I understand why he needs a chick on the arm to get through PoP.
I remember how quite a few of us liked Sophia Bush when her & Austin started the beard charade. That changed the longer that thing went on.
I don't know what happened there. I always thought Sophia was beautiful too. Nobody likes bearding, period, I guess. I didn't follow that very much, I guess.
I see that PR is trying to convince us post after post that Isabel is a good idea. I think she is a horrible beard choice for Jake. She is dumb, plain and a bad actress. No matter how hard PR tries to make her sound interesting. She isn't.
Wow Reese's PR is awesome. She has already counter acted (ONTD)Ryan's interview with a smiling shopping pic sans Toth . Bitch is fierce and I do mean bitch.
And I'd like to correct my term.
I'm not quite sure why he needs a chick beard on the arm to get through PoP.
A beard is a beard is a beard as far as I'm concerned. There's not any "nice" alternative.
Wow Reese's PR is awesome. She has already counter acted (ONTD)Ryan's interview with a smiling shopping pic sans Toth . Bitch is fierce and I do mean bitch.
lol. That she is, I would agree with that. I'd put her in a boxing ring with anybody and put money on her no matter who the opponent was, lol.
^^ :)
"lol. That she is, I would agree with that. I'd put her in a boxing ring with anybody and put money on her no matter who the opponent was, lol."
Yeah but I get the feeling there is someone in her life who knows all and is just itching to let it all out. I wish Howard Stern would take her on.
Poor Howard! :)
They can link Jake with 100 women, but that will not change his sexual preference or make him look less gay for that matter. Disney must be worried. POP is not generating that much buzz and it should be building by now. Slow going.
Heath was not handsome in the traditional sense, particularly as he started to age, but he had so much sexual charisma he made The Joker ooze sex appeal despite green hair, white skin and a scarred face. Now that is sex appeal.
Heath was gorgeous in A LOT of scenes in BBM. Just a stunner. Very sexy. But then I always have gone more for the masculine rugged types as opposed to the pretty boys (like Jake).
OT: I Love You Phillip Morris will now be released July 30 and expand August 6. So it lives. For now.
If you think Heath was not good looking as he got older watch him in I'm Not There and Parnassus. Really handsome and had sex appeal galore.
No wonder he banged some of the most beautiful women in the world.
Why is so hard to believe that Jake dates women? Isn't that what CLOSETED gay men do all the time?
Closeted gay actors beard, fake relationships with women, they don't date them.
How do you like Mama meeting Isabel in Montreal Tom, Jake sure moves fast!
LOL, Mama didn't meet Isabel Who, that's just one of Lainey's made up stories. Did you forget her Reeke fiction?
teecupz: Jake gyllenhal in the day after tmw has such sculpted eyebrows I'd swear he was gay!!!
about 2 hours ago
but that will not change his sexual preference or make him look less gay for that matter.
Is it my imagination or with every passing year is femininity emerging more strongly in Jake? What was once softness and boyishness now looks more like femininity to me. His dad is still boyish so maybe that's the reason. It's nice to stay looking young. It's funny, though, I think his mom is looking more mannish as she ages.
Is it my imagination or with every passing year is femininity emerging more strongly in Jake?
Don't know about "more strongly" but I love Jake's femininity ... which I find a bit strange because I love macho men :)
Abbie was seen with Ryan and his kids a l lot too. I do think the kids get used to the S.O. of either parent. It's inavoidable.
Too? Abbie was living with Ryan.
Jake didn't spend a lot of time around Reese's kids.
Isabel seems to be a fun girl. If Jake decides to date/beard with (whatever you believe) her, I hope he won't get as much shit as with Reese. Cause I doubt she is as image obsessed and will call papz to take pics of an arranged op. Jake, if he is gay, probably won't come out anytime soon. Career and image are too imporant for him. So, better quit wanting to make him a poster boy and accept what he wants, if you are a fan. He's no Ricky Martin, obviously. Although, thank god for the brave Rickies in this world. :)
Abbie was seen with Ryan and his kids a l lot too.
You can't compare Ryan and Abbie's relationship and Jake's photo ops with beard's kids.
So, better quit wanting to make him a poster boy and accept what he wants, if you are a fan.
What "accept what he wants" means?
If Jake decides to date/beard with (whatever you believe) her, I hope he won't get as much shit as with Reese.
If Jake decides to beard again I will not feel sorry for him if he and his new beard (Isabel or someone else) get the same treatment as Reeke got from the public.
But you would still love me, wouldn't you?
Yes, I would tough love you. ;)
Awwwww :)
So, better quit wanting to make him a poster boy and accept what he wants...
lol, what's with the pretentious lecturing? Do you think you're everyone's mother or something? It's pretty clear Jake is going to do what he wants. If it bugs you so much that people are still talking and speculating, scroll on by.
So, better quit wanting to make him a poster boy and accept what he wants, if you are a fan.
Babbler, are you lost?
Dear Ted:
The prearrangement theory you mentioned over the weekend doesn't fly for beards, because who is to say Tiger and Elin didn't have an arrangement that let him bang skanks? We know they didn't, but that doesn't mean we knew they or others like Sandra/Jesse James or whomever didn't before it was reported. Therefore, the very same rules should apply. Everyone wants equality, but only when it doesn't harm someone's image. Bullock's, I say!
—Arranged
Dear Adamant One:
True, and many of these straight couples do have arrangements on the side. But, again, for the most part, it's these cash hungry babes who are doing the outing themselves. That's not gonna be the case for Toothy's male conquests. Or is it?
Bitch-Back! Are Secret Romances the Way to Go?

Fabio_L_Vieira: Jake Gyllenhaal Dishes on Single Life: The "Prince of Persia" star works his casual finest for the latest issue of GQ... http://bit.ly/bHZtSf (expand)
28 minutes ago
^^^ What did E! say?
It's no secret that Jake Gyllenhaal is a frequently featured face here on PopWrap. Hell, to be honest, I rented a locker out at Port Authority simply so I could hang up pictures of Jake inside. But, if it's possible, this new interview in the May issue of GQ Magazine made me see him in a more extreme light. He's an even funnier, kinder, more thoughtful fella than I assumed before. Allow me to explain.
Funnier, via Van Halen:
"I just loved jumping whenever they said 'Jump!' I loved the idea that someone would say just go ahead and jump: 'Man, you know what? Just go ahead and f***ing jump!' 'Really?' And Van Halen was like, 'Yes, my friend.'"
Kinder, via his family:
"During conversation [about his parents divorce], Jake also says this: 'Family ... my family, you know ... I love them ... whatever they do, whatever they are ... I love them ... you're actually going to make me cry ...' And just a little, he does."
Thoughtful, via his love of horns:
"Horns are, to me, the most affirmative instrument to say there is something beyond where we are. In Mumford & Sons [music], whenever those horns come on, I feel like it's all going to be okay. Life's all good -- for the whole world. Maybe that's sophomoric, but I really feel that in my heart."
But that's just only begins to skin the surface of his lengthy, wordy, intriguing interview. In the issue (on stands now) Jake talks a bit about Heath Ledger. Not only his passing, but also the reality of their relationship -- "I think we felt safe together." Jake also reveals his intense side, which cropped up while filming "Brokeback Mountain," "Jarhead" and even -- yes -- "Prince of Persia."
For the rest of Jake Gyllenhaal's interview in the May issue of GQ Magazine, click here!
Jake Gyllenhaal is only making it worse
Jake Gyllenhaal is only making it worse
You can say that again!
"Can't watch videos :("
Jake repeats the same BS thing he said years ago that it’s important for every man to find the right woman.
But that was GQ 2007, wasn't it? lol
"But that was GQ 2007, wasn't it? lol"
Yeah. We are back to square one. Three years and he didn't evolve one bit.
Jake didn't give heterosexual relationships another thought in 3 years, lol!
I'm looking for the right woman!
Currently busy filming a new movie titled “Source Code,” Jake Gyllenhaal took time to chat it up with GQ magazine for their May 2010 issue.
Hitting newsstands on April 20th, the “Brokeback Mountain” stud opens up about his relationship with Heath Ledger, his parents’ recent divorce and his love for his family.
As for his own life, Gyllenhaal explains, “I’m trying not to keep things so neat. I think I’m realizing my strengths and my faults. I think I’m trying to see what is me…and what is not me.”
Talking about working with Heath Ledger, Jake tells, “He was very sensitive. He didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew who he was. I think actors very often, they know how to present something, and that’s part of their job. I think he was just really sensitive. We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together.”
As for how Ledger’s death affected him personally, the 29-year-old explains, “Even when we did Brokeback and stuff, it was like my work was the only thing that mattered to me. It was like I could only understand or define myself through doing that. Life, I didn’t totally understand. And I think I was afraid of life. And I had success in my work, enough success that you could keep going back there. But after that happened…I think I recognized that it was work. And I recognized that this is for real.”

Jake's GQ photos
I see that PR is trying to convince us post after post that Isabel is a good idea. I think she is a horrible beard choice for Jake. She is dumb, plain and a bad actress. No matter how hard PR tries to make her sound interesting. She isn't
I was going to say the same thing, but you beat me.
In addition, PR is too dumb to see that a lot of fans know he is gay, and they find any bearding ridiculous, no matter who it is.
Bearding is just plain wrong. Doesn't matter who the f*ck the beard is.
That last paragraph about Heath makes no sense.
“He was very sensitive. He didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew who he was. I think actors very often, they know how to present something, and that’s part of their job. I think he was just really sensitive. We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together.”
“Even when we did Brokeback and stuff, it was like my work was the only thing that mattered to me. It was like I could only understand or define myself through doing that. Life, I didn’t totally understand. And I think I was afraid of life. And I had success in my work, enough success that you could keep going back there. But after that happened…I think I recognized that it was work. And I recognized that this is for real.”
And it took Jake, what, two years to say this ... nothing? At least now things are pretty clear.
Jake thought that his work is what's important in his life. Heath's death changed that.

You make it sound like Jake was preparing a speech. Geez.
On his experience filming Brokeback Mountain: “There was something magical in that time. We all slept in our trailers out by a trailer park in the first month of making that movie. I was sleeping next to Ang’s trailer; Ang’s trailer was next to Heath and Michelle’s trailer—they’d kind of moved in together. And Michael Hausman, the producer, brought his Airstream trailer down. And it was just us, by this river, for a month. And we would walk to set, and we would eat together, and we would make coffee in the morning, and I would wake up in the morning and there would be Ang Lee doing Tai Chi outside of my trailer, and it was just magical.”
"And it took Jake, what, two years to say this ... nothing? At least now things are pretty clear."
I agree. What he says doesn’t make any sense at all. I think that at this point we have to conclude that Jake is either the dumbest guy or his interviews are so heavily edited/manufactured by his PR that they erase the meaning of his statements.
On how Heath’s death affected him:
“I don’t really like talking about it. That period of time was…it was difficult. He was very sensitive. He didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew who he was. I think actors very often, they know how to present something, and that’s part of their job. I think he was just really sensitive. We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together. Even when we did Brokeback and stuff, it was like my work was the only thing that mattered to me. It was like I could only understand or define myself through doing that. Life, I didn’t totally understand. And I think I was afraid of life. And I had success in my work, enough success that you could keep going back there. But after that happened…I think I recognized that it was work. And I recognized that this is for real.”
On his life as a single man:
“It’s…it’s okay.… It goes in either direction. I think it’s important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.… Who am I to say what the most important thing in life is? The best answer I could give to any of those things is that I really don’t know. Particularly right now in my life.”
I think Heath was gorgeous as he aged too - he was beautiful as a young man, but he was maturing into full manhood. Just look at him in Dr. Parnassus. I loved him in Joker too, but he was almost unrecognizable, just the way he carried himself. He was a fantastic communicator with his voice and mannerisms. He reminded me of an Olivier type or something, when he would speak. It's so awful that we won't be seeing him or his talent in his golden years. :(
I am glad that Jake finally felt ok enough to talk about Heath. It's just as we thought, he was young, you think nothing's going to happen to you, and then what happened to Heath woke him up to reality.
Cute about Van Halen too. :)
Jake thought that his work is what's important in his life. Heath's death changed that.
But what changed? He continued his fauxmance, he made PoP, he's going from one movie right to the next ...
Jake changed.
"Jake changed."
and he gives the same recycled statements he said 3 years ago? I see the same guy. Also, he is talking about Heath when he has a movie to promote. He is using the publicity to his own benefit.
Also, he is talking about Heath when he has a movie to promote.
Jake gives interviews only during movie promotions.
You make it sound like Jake was preparing a speech. Geez.
Obviously he was not, I think his people should've written something for him. "he was sensitive", that's the best he can come up with? Some really nice things were said about Heath by other costars. Next to them, Jake's words are empty blah. I find it sad.
I think his people should've written something for him.
What is wrong with you?
He [Heath] didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew who he was.
Ain't that the truth. This is something we've all noticed, how Heath didn't have much patience for the HW trappings and stuff.
What is wrong with you?
You ask like it would be some sort of sin. I think it would've looked better if he said something nice about Heath, like everyone else. Again, if he couldn't find anything at all, his people should have. It's their job. Judging by the way Jake talks they were just costars anyway so I really don't see what the problem is.
He did say nice things about Heath, quietly.
Jake changed.
Okay. How? I'm not being a smart-ass here. I believe that he had to have felt really terrible about Heath's death, I really do. But real change is not just internal - it is reflected in your actions.
He said Heath was real, several times.
This GQ interview sounds like so many of Jake's interviews where he rambles and tries to come off sounding pretengious and intelligent. He recycled his looking for a good woman line again which is no surprise. In 2007 he was looking for a good beard and in 2010 he's looking for a good beard again. Also he mentions Heath but doesn't really say anything of value. Heath was sensitive and it was a hard time for him. That's it? It took him 2 years to say that? Please, he's only mentioned Heath's name because he's doing promo interviews for POP. I look forward to LAOD and Source Code, but I truly thing POP looks sucky and do hope that it fails big time. POP embodies Reeke and bearding. POP doing well is like Jake getting rewarded for bearding and acting like an idiot during his 3 years of Reeke. He sold himself for a big paycheck.
He [Heath] didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew who he was.
Ain't that the truth. This is something we've all noticed, how Heath didn't have much patience for the HW trappings and stuff.
Yes, ITA. I do appreciate that he said this about Heath.
He did say nice things about Heath, quietly.
When?
I never thought badly of Reese herself, I just didn't like the way J&R were being promoted in the press (that "yes dear, no dear, whatever you say, dear" list). A man's home should be his castle, if everything's going along beautifully in a relationship. No lists. (If not, that's another story! lol)
I don't think "baggage" necessarily refers to children, it may refer to someone having been married and then reluctant to get that deeply involved again with someone, her ex always a part of their lives, etc. Isabel doesn't have that, apparently. We'll see what happens.
It’s…it’s okay.… It goes in either direction. I think it’s important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.…
So all men, straight or gay, need to find a woman. And all women, straight or gay, need to find a man.
What self-loathing homophobic dribble. It's clear he can't even acknowledge the possibility that there are gay men and women out there, BBM or no BBM.
And all that babble about Heath and work, sounds like he's trying to say BBM was just a job, it wasn't real.
Real life is finding a woman, and forgetting all that homosexual nonsense.
On his life as a single man:
“It’s…it’s okay.… It goes in either direction.
LMAO. I swear to God if that's not a Freudian slip, I don't know what is.
Jake made several references to Heath's being real, that they hung out together and felt safe together, that implies trust, someone who is just who they are. He says there's more to life than work. It takes some people a long time to learn that lesson.
I don't think he meant that, to put down homosexuality, at least I hope not.
Judging by the way Jake talks they were just costars anyway so I really don't see what the problem is.
You are playing dumb or you didn't read what Jake said about Heath and Brokeback Mountain time.
"It’s…it’s okay.… It goes in either direction. I think it’s important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.…"
Maybe its my wishful thinking or I am making too much of it, that doesn't sound kosher. Why didn't he just say find the right person. Why did he find its so important to genderize the statement? Almost as if finding the right woman will cure him, but like I said I could be making too much of the statement. It sounds so outdated.
And all that babble about Heath and work, sounds like he's trying to say BBM was just a job, it wasn't real.
That's because Brokeback Mountain was magic.
On his experience filming Brokeback Mountain:
“There was something magical in that time. We all slept in our trailers out by a trailer park in the first month of making that movie. I was sleeping next to Ang’s trailer; Ang’s trailer was next to Heath and Michelle’s trailer—they’d kind of moved in together. And Michael Hausman, the producer, brought his Airstream trailer down. And it was just us, by this river, for a month. And we would walk to set, and we would eat together, and we would make coffee in the morning, and I would wake up in the morning and there would be Ang Lee doing Tai Chi outside of my trailer, and it was just magical.”
"So all men, straight or gay, need to find a woman. And all women, straight or gay, need to find a man.
What self-loathing homophobic dribble."
In this interview, he is catering for the conservative audience that will buy the PoP ticket. What a superficial dumbass!
^^^I believe Jake believes he is straight whether he sleeps with men or not just waiting to find the right woman.
Jake makes it sound very cozy and romantic, the Brokeback time, which I'm sure it was. :)
Jake knows he's gay for a long, long time.
11:07: You have got to be kidding. He is plaing the sympathy card: It's ok being single some days, others not meaning he was still getting over the split with Reese at the time. I'm sure Reese was off the table especially since it's kaput but i'm sure the writer references her.
You are playing dumb or you didn't read what Jake said about Heath and Brokeback Mountain time.
BBM time was work, "magical", whatever, still work. As for Heath, Jake talks about him and their "relationship" like it was work too i.e. they were just costars which is okay. I don't know why people can't admit and accept this.
Jake is such a disappointment. I thought we could find a more mature, genuine and honest interview and he is just the same image obsessed fake guy giving reclycled PR quotes and using Heath for publicity.
^^IA :(
It sounds like everyone became very close filming Brokeback, because all they had was each other. Very warm and cozy. I kinda thought that. Brokeback will always be a special thing. :)
"I believe Jake believes he is straight whether he sleeps with men or not just waiting to find the right woman."
Oh please, you can't be that naive. He is a closeted gay man giving a PR approved interview to promote a +200 millon dollars Disney blockbuster.
We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together.”
They hung out together because people were interested in Heath--so Jake only hangs out with people if others are interested in them??? Wha?
Nobody put a gun to Jake's head to say those words. he and his PR approved.
using Heath for publicity
Huh? What are you talking about?

jfc, are you always so humorless, lol? And you obviously have no clue as to what a Freudian slip is. It's unintentional. Sure, outwardly he may have been playing for sympathy, although I don't think that interview was done that long ago - and he and Reese were over at Thanksgiving.
They hung out together because people were interested in Heath--so Jake only hangs out with people if others are interested in them??? Wha?
I was thinking the same thing. WTF???
so Jake only hangs out with people if others are interested in them???
Yes, Jake hangs out with Chris and Matthew Katz-Frost only because other people are interested in them.
"We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together.”
I think it felt weird to him to say 'people were very interested in US' - so he just said that people were interested in Heath. I don't think he wanted to acknowledge that a lot of people were interested in them together - that opens up another whole can of worms.
As for Heath, Jake talks about him and their "relationship" like it was work too i.e. they were just costars which is okay. I don't know why people can't admit and accept this.
There is nothing to admit nor accept because Jake keeps saying that Heath wasn't just a costar.
We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together.
Poor Heath, if only he knew why Jake hung out with him. lol
I wonder what really was what send Heath through such a tragic ending.
It couldn't be just drugs.Even when i'm convinced he was no stranger to narcotics he never seemed wasted in a Lohan way.
I bet he didn't take any more or less drugs than any average celebrity.
He was just fine and then he went downhill in a matter of months!!!
I also wonder if Jake knows more about this than he is able to share..
Jake is such a disappointment. I thought we could find a more mature, genuine and honest interview and he is just the same image obsessed fake guy giving reclycled PR quotes
ITA.
I'm not going to complain about his talking about Heath since I was one of the ones unhappy that he didn't say anything. But it just all sounds like some script he was working from to not say anything too gay or too heartfelt. He comes off sounding very self-centered.
He's starting to sound like a Tom Cruise.
Jake knows a lot about Heath, but we aren't going to hear that - too private.
"I also wonder if Jake knows more about this than he is able to share.."
Please God, don't let Jake talk about it ever.Who knows what he would say about poor Heath :((
I hope PoP is a failure. If it's not we're just going to get more of this shit.
All PoP promotion and tons of interviews will be DONE BEFORE PoP release.
Looks like a great interview to me.
Jake knows a lot about Heath, but we aren't going to hear that - too private
And we shouldn't hear it. I don't think anyone is looking for that.
Jake knows a lot about Heath, but we aren't going to hear that - too private."
I think the most honest thing he says about Heath in that interview is how he doesn't like to talk about his death because it's very difficult...
Of course, it would be. But he's very roundabout when he talks about him--not direct at all.
I seriously don't think I could put up with this kind of crap for 2 more movies either. I think in the long run would be best for Jake if POP flopped. His career would be fine, I'm sure of it.
But he's very roundabout when he talks about him--not direct at all.
Maybe because he didn't want to cry (again)?
During conversation [about his parents divorce], Jake also says this: 'Family ... my family, you know ... I love them ... whatever they do, whatever they are ... I love them ... you're actually going to make me cry ...' And just a little, he does.
To me, it reads like he's changed his quote about relationships from last time - that it goes both ways, not only is it important for a man to find the right person, but also for a woman to find the right person. Then he admits he really doesn't have all the answers - "who am I to say?". Sounds not so bad.
"During conversation [about his parents divorce], Jake also says this: 'Family ... my family, you know ... I love them ... whatever they do, whatever they are ... I love them ... you're actually going to make me cry ...' And just a little, he does."
^^^^
Lame.
I saw the GQ pics at ONTD, they are funny as heck, the one in the chair too cute. Jake can be alot of fun.
The interview wasn't for his coming out or his private memories of Heath. Its for POP, wait for the autobiography or the unauthorized biography.
This is for the poster that revised what Jake said, he said man/woman, not person.
On his life as a single man: “It’s…it’s okay.… It goes in either direction. I think it’s important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.… Who am I to say what the most important thing in life is? The best answer I could give to any of those things is that I really don’t know. Particularly right now in my life

Looks like a great interview to me.
Seriously? What's great about it?
No one expected him to come out in GQ but I could've done without the recycled 'I'm so straight' bullshit. He should have kept his dead costar out of his promo work. Not like this was a tribute or anything.
I actually liked what he did say about Heath - how he was real, didn't put on a performance in everyday life, knew who he was, that they felt safe together, that Brokeback was a magical time.
I understand he isn't going to come out in some interview promoting PoP (if ever), but this line I don't appreciate at all: I think it’s important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man. What a strange, offensive thing to say coming from someone who starred in Brokeback Mountain, from someone who used to talk about his gay godfathers and how he didn't see them differently, from someone who used to support gay rights in public. That part is very disappointing.
Oh c'mon guys. He said BBM was a magical time and that Heath was real. I won't complain. I'm sure Jake was honest.
That line is sickening. It shows how deep the homophobia of Hollywood has sunk into his vocabulary and his soul.
Please don't exaggerate.
You can't take the line by itself out of context and separate it from the rest of what he said - he said he doesn't have all the answers, especially at this point in his life, who is he to say. You can't expect him to bare his soul entirely in an interview. Some people do that routinely, pick out a sentence or two completely divorced from what else is said, to support their own view.
"Ricky Martin didn't know he was gay according to his old "girlfriend""
See its possible for Jake to think he's straight.
1:46 PM, you are joking, right?
That line is sickening. It shows how deep the homophobia of Hollywood has sunk into his vocabulary and his soul.
ITA. Why can't he just say the most important thing is for a person to find love, or something similar. Nobody talks that way. It is a very deliberate statement chosen to show the world he is straight straight straight.

I read everything that was posted. I don't understand what you mean by taking out of context. Nothing else he said refutes or explains the fact the he used the type of bullshit language that's been drummed into society's collective brain for years(men go with women, women go with men). A lot of gays have been working for a long time to try and change that attitude that he uses so easily and so carelessly. How would saying "every person should find the right person" be baring his soul? It wouldn't be.
About single life:
“It’s … it’s okay,” he says. A few years ago, Jake said that “the most important job for a man is to find the right woman.” But since he split with Reese, does he still feel that way? ”Mmmm,” he says. “It goes in either direction. I think it’s important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.”
Asked if that’s the most important thing, he pauses for a long time. “Who am I to say what the most important thing in life is?” he said. “The best answer I could give to any of those things is that I really don’t know. Particularly right now in my life.”
Jake’s parents – film director Stephen Gyllenhaal and screenwriter Naomi Foner – recently got divorced after 29 years of marriage, but Jake says that hasn’t affected his personal outlook on relationships. “Some relationships last a lifetime, and some relationships don’t,” he said. ”I think it takes a lot of courage for my parents to make the decision that they made, and I trust both of them and their outlook on life. They’re wonderful parents to me and my sister [Maggie].”
“I think any successful marriage, even if it hasn’t lasted for a lifetime, will create a sense of an ideal,” he goes on. “But I don’t have a fantasy. There’s not a fantasy. I know it’s messy, is what I want to say.”

Rufus in Details.
Wainwright adds that he thinks it's cynical to advise musicians, as Steven Merritt apparently did, not to come out:
"I don't have the energy or the emotional repression to bottle that stuff up. It's true, it's tougher careerwise if you come out, but this is a human-rights issue, and it's important to keep putting dents in it. It's about two teenagers being beheaded for holding hands in Saudi Arabia. It's bigger than someone's music career."
Towleroad
Same could be said of actors.
“It’s … it’s okay,” he says. A few years ago, Jake said that “the most important job for a man is to find the right woman.” But since he split with Reese, does he still feel that way? ”Mmmm,” he says. “It goes in either direction. I think it’s important for every man to find the right woman and every woman to find the right man.”
So he's revised his statement from years ago to say that it's not only the man's job to find the right woman, it can be the woman's job to find the right man? How is that any better? He's still using classic heteronormative language and that leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.
How would saying "every person should find the right person" be baring his soul? It wouldn't be.
Of course it isn't. I don't know why he didn't say that. It's just that in an interview, you can't really expect him to give a whole lot of indepth self-reflection is what I meant about baring his soul.
I agree with Rufus, there's too much emotional energy wasted bottling up your feelings, and I don't know how anyone can without totally exhausting oneself.
It's still all about Reese. Huffington Post has a HUGE headline for their story on the interview:
JAKE GYLLENHAAL IN GQ: LIFE AFTER REESE IS OKAY
LOL
Someone in the comments on Towleroad pointed out that Brad Pitt always makes sure to use neutral language and not the hetero-norm when talking in interviews.
Longer quote about Heath: "He was very sensitive. He didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew who he was. I think actors very often, they know how to present something, and that’s part of their job. I think he was just really sensitive. We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together. For such a serious actor as Heath was, he was crazy funny. Dark funny, but funny. I don't think any of us can watch [Brokeback Mountain] to this day. I remember talking to Michelle very recently and her being like, 'I didn't know if it was any good or not.'"
^^So now we know he keeps in touch with M&M. ;)
Can we also scratch the "bad godfather" accusations now?
*cough*
I TOLD you that's a great interview :)

Bear repeating.
I'm glad to hear that some things have been put to rest, about Heath and M&M. :)
"I TOLD you that's a great interview :)"
I think it is too. :)
Finding the right someone is universal.
Isn't it interesting that now that Jake needs publicity for his movie he decides to "poen up" about his very famous dead costar and "reveal" he recently talked to Michelle?

No, this is Jake's FIRST proper interview since October 2007.
2:29: Could you provide a link to that full quote? It's not popping up anywhere unless you have the magazine already.
"I don't think any of us can watch [Brokeback Mountain] to this day. I remember talking to Michelle very recently and her being like, 'I didn't know if it was any good or not.'"
I'm lost on this one. What did he mean?

Jesus people, don't you get it already? Jake often doesn't make sense. He is famous for his gyllenbabble.
"I don't think any of us can watch [Brokeback Mountain] to this day. I remember talking to Michelle very recently and her being like, 'I didn't know if it was any good or not.'"
I'm lost on this one. What did he mean?
Jake and Michelle talked about Brokeback Mountain and Michelle remembered seeing the movie for the first time (with Heath) and not being sure if it was any good.
Wow 3:05 PM, hats off! I think you might be right.
I'm glad to hear that some things have been put to rest, about Heath
What things have been put to rest about Heath?
Thanks 2:53
3:05, thanks for trying to help but you are answering with the same words of the question.
What i want to know is what is what Michelle meant and why is Jake making that statement public.

It's clear what Michelle meant and that statement is public since 2006 or 2007.
Oh no, here we go again! lol
It's clear what Michelle meant and that statement is public since 2006 or 2007.
IA. When she first saw the film, she didn't know if it was any good. It's true.
The pictures taken inside the candy store, playing ping pong, in the deli, etc. are funny and cute. I especially like the one where he's miming a photographer, lol. But, god, those pics outside with all the adoring fans surrounding him are, imo, corny as hell and kind of smarmy. Jakey does love being adored, though :) He ain't giving that up anytime soon.
3:05, I think you've translated that into English pretty accurately, lol. Jake's words often can't keep up with his mind and he leaves key phrases and words out of sentences sometimes.
Ok, I thought Michelle was saying she wasn't sure HEATH was any good in the movie :DD
