Who is the Real Jake Gyllenhaal?

It's been difficult to read the press releases and interviews on Jake for the past several years because frankly, it's just hard to tell when it's him speaking or when it's his media team.  Add to that, the fact that pictures of Jake doing "everyday" things just don't occur anymore.  A person can't be a long-time fan of Jake's and not admit that his public visibility has changed in a dramatic way since the years when I first started following him, back in 2008.  

And do we ever see the "real" Jake anymore?  What if one took away the sepia Instagram and magazine filters, the false dating history, the pleas for awards, the highly publicized stories (seeing a person bleed to death in front of his eyes during End of Watch filming and breaking a mirror and injuring his hand during Nightcrawler filming), and lastly, the frequent barnacle protection of publicists, Greta Caruso and bodyguards?  Who remains when the shoes come off inside the foyer, green cargo pants are swapped out for track pants, earbuds are shown the drawer, and Vitalis perhaps rinsed out for au naturel wisps?  What is uncovered that for the last several years has been hidden from view and deemed unmarketable?

It doesn't seem possible that Jake developed such a large following and fan base because of the color of his pants or a Detective Loki haircut.  What did everyone see?

















Whadya think?  That's what caught my eye and attention.  And yes, the years pass and we all grow up, some of our likes and dislikes change.  Our home bases may change, circle of friends evolve and change.  But people's basic personalities don't undergo a complete overhaul.  They don't. The root system is established when we are young and the branches take off from that base.  And I like Jake's "old" roots.

So while we've gotten Southpaw Sandisks of this...



and mega TB flash drives filled with these...


and toss in a couple of these for toppers:


 Just remember, it's the underlying hard drive that contains the original mapping.  It's still there - inside that front or mudroom door, after the green cargos are tossed and pointing finger put away.

Oh brotherrrrr!! I'm sweating like I've run a mile, lol. My cat people's smoke alarm has been chirping on and off. It has woken us up for the last I don't know how many mornings and since it seemed to be upsetting little Moo this morning, I knew it couldn't be put off any longer.

It wouldn't be a big deal except Mr Cat Person has this old wooden, rickety wooden ladder that wobbled back and forth. And me without a spotter!!! And not remembering to change it until now, so it's too late to bother a neighbor to come spot.

And why doesn't the lid just screw off? Oh no, the 9V comes down in this little trap door and it's hard to get out. And so you're trying to do this on one of the top steps and trying to keep from getting dizzy. Something is always happening. If it's not a dead bat in the backyard, it's a mouse's little footsteps scurrying from somewhere, or getting stuck at the bottom of the driveway in a bunch of snow...blown circuit breakers...rotten little Jingles chewing one of his Mama's blinds, you name it.

These smoke alarm folks need to come up with something that is a lot safer than that. That's just not a safe situation because those things have to go on the ceiling and most people have real tall ceilings. And you're all arched and/or bent and twisted at awkward angles. Come on.

Anyway, no one wants to hear about all of that nonsense. Aren't those some nice pictures of Mr. Jakester? Just a few favorites because either he's got a really nice happy smile with dancing eyes or he's in an unaware moment.

I discovered Jake & Austin through Just Jared. I'm not kidding. I could have seen him before somewhere, but I first really paid attention when I saw those Just Jared pictures of him and Austin. Not even sure when that was. But then I found out he was in Brokeback Mountain, which I watched for the first time while I was dogsitting Molly and Lucy, the border collies. And I was just changed forever.

And I for sure had never heard of Austin before. And not sure which came first - Live Journal with its Brokeback slash or Oh My Godot. I think both happened in 2008. Wow, and look at what's happened since then.

8 years ago. That's a long time to follow a celebrity couple. Whew!

LOL! Forgot about the changed avatar. That's Jake bearding, aka floating on the lake on an inner tube. Ha ha ha. That's about the level of exertion that he wants to give when it comes to that part of closeting. He just doesn't want to do it. And in the process, barely lifts a pinkie finger of effort.

It's all done on social media. Planted tweets and planted Instagram comments. Check it out. Because his people want this to be seen, we're going to indulge for once. We're indulging because who can pass up a chance to laugh this hard.

This appears with a picture of what is supposed to be Jake in London, but it's not convincing enough as far as I'm concerned. What a hinky picture, accompanied by even more hinky comments. The Instagram account belongs to "jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal". The other Instagram names are folks she's talking to. She tags @tegansteward because supposedly, it is @tegansteward who the picture of Jake belongs to.

jake.benjamin.gyllenhaalApparently Jake was with Greta ��

missijen Where was that? Who is Greta ?

missbovaree@jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal Is Greta his gf?

milliecrawford1@missbovaree well, she was his best friend but not anymore. They attend NA in Venice together, so yeah. She's gf.

missbovaree@milliecrawford1 thanks

milliecrawford1@jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal Are we sure Greta was there too? :D

jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal@milliecrawford1 she's not in the photo but apparently she was with him. I was told only by the person who took the photo.

milliecrawford1@jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal Thanks:)

jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal@milliecrawford1 just couple of months ago during demolition interviews he said his best friend in the world is a she... He obviously meant her. Though how quick from BF to GF happened.. I am not sure. Probably she is there because Jake needs support.. and what are best friends for ��✌��️

milliecrawford1@jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal Yeah but she's in Korea too. She's with him in London before too and theyre attend venice and then turn london again. I never saw them before too much like this. I love Greta and i think friendship turn relationship for them:)) We will see:))

jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal@missbovaree @missijen his best friend

jake.benjamin.gyllenhaal@milliecrawford1 mates do travel together,too. Exactly we don't know. So don't go around and say his girlfriend because he DID NOT confirm anything. Until then continue to say his best friend.



Spoonfeeding doesn't even BEGIN to define that whole production. So yeah, thus the Jake floating on the lake avatar. ;D

But SHhhhhhhhhh!

So don't go around and say his girlfriend because he DID NOT confirm anything. Until then continue to say his best friend.

#PSST

Do you need me to repeat it?! lol. smh. In other words, if you go around spreading this word, just don't quote ME on it. What a production.

Remember that multi-part post we did on ol' Greta Caruso? Her and Jake first appeared together in photo ops way back in October around the time Ramona was born. And now Mgmnt wants folks to believe that 9 years later, those 2 have been struck by Cupid's arrow. I'm just waiting for the next act on this one.

Here's a link to the internet reality show:

The Minister's Cat has never had so many players in a game before

One little tip to Mgmnt. That little post of Instagram Whispers is causing folks to Google Ms. Caruso.

That's all I'm going to tell ya. You can finish the math on that one.
