The Case of the "Blonde Woman": Gettin' Curiouser and Curiouser - Day 15


Thirty Days of Toothy Tile, Grey Goose and the Baby Tiles

Day 15




When we last left the curious whereabouts of Jake Gyllenhaal's blond personal assistant, we were more than a bit intrigued by a lone picture of a similarly looking woman pushing a baby in a stroller with Jake, Reese and her two children walking nearby. A strip of screen caps furthered captured this Parisian outing, which sent up red flags that this young woman seemed to have traveled overseas with Jake during the filming of Disney's, "Prince of Persia" in 2008.  For a look back: In case you missed Day 8


But let's not get too sidetracked with an earlier flash from the past because this is now Day 15 and we're late, we're late for a very important "well, what do we have here" date! 




For context, the origin of our next picture is not known.  The photo is sort of like the biggest mystery since the Loch Ness Monster.  The picture came from a stranger who recognized Jake, which seems obvious given the focus and candid content of the snapshot.  If and when more is unearthed about the source of this picture, the discovery will be bull-horned across the land.  But, for now, let's just be satisfied that the photograph and backstory exists at all.

What we do know is that this picture was taken in Montreal during the same time period that Jake had been known to be filming "Source Code" in March and April, 2010. Here he is visibly not working, but hanging outside a movie theater where "Alice in Wonderland" (which had been released on March 5, 2010 in Canada) was being showcased. Given all that, on this specific day, it was not so much the featured Disney film that brought Jake to that box office kiosk to buy a ticket, but rather one of the anticipated Movie Previews that was scheduled to be shown: "Prince of Persia." 

But hey there. Hold on just a gosh darned minute.  Who is that blond woman standing next to Jake with that big smile on her face???? She looks familiar, doesn't she? 

Well, well, well, well.





Now look a little closer.  What or, rather, who is that directly in  front of Jake?  Looks like a little brunette head and a little hand.  There was much discussion on Oh My Godot over this picture with one anon claiming the child looked too big to be a Baby Tile. Except by this time Jake and Austin were already expanding that family of theirs. Regardless of the age, that is obviously a child that is next to Jake and that is the same woman who was pushing the baby stroller in 2008 in Paris.

In fact, a talented WFT2'er did this nice side-by-side-by-side comparison to jar everyone's memory.  




Filming in Canada would have provided Jake a more discreet opportunity to likely have his children with him, particularly if he had an "assistant" as well.  2010 was one of the earlier years of Twitter and no doubt, Jake never anticipated someone would be up in the rafters, so to speak, taking pictures.
