Happy 45th Birthday, You Ol' Rascal, Jake Gyllenhaal

 

We at Narnia Dispatches couldn't let this day go by without wishing a very Happy 45th Birthday to one of our OG's, Jacob B. Gyllenhaal.    

And we don't know any other way to celebrate than to remind ourselves what this lil' rascal looks like because we haven't seen him in forever and he just did crop up to tell everyone he's still alive.

So let's celebrate this guy; he is turning the Big 4-5, just like his hubs, Austin, turned back in April.

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The movie that started it all ... 

 

on the set of The Day After Tomorrow, Jake and Austin 

 

And of course, since 2012, Jake has been turning himself inside-out placing himself forever away from wherever Austin is supposed to be at birthday time.  😂😂  

But we at Narnia have been watching their story since 2008 (M&M for a few years longer than that), been watching all of the GPS shenanigans, followed by their Oops and then by our Scoops (starting on Oh My Godot blogspot and then here at Narnia), and we can say with absolute solid confidence:

He is not going to be away from his family.  So whether he and the fam are really in France or (as he was trying to portray), the UK, Jake is celebrating the way he wants to - with his family.

So, let's celebrate with a pictorial album, what do you say?   It's been awhile.  Celebrating with alot of my favorites over the years.

Look at this guy.   

 


 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This guy has been wrecking havoc all his years.

 


 

It's like what TV character Roy DeSoto tells his paramedic partner, Johnny Gage in a squad conversation:

"Those guys are gonna be on my back all day about that interview this morning." -  Johnny

"I don't know.  You know, the way I see it, uh ... you've got nothing to worry about.  They cut you off before you even had a chance to get your thoughts formed." - Roy

"Yeah, I know, but you know how those guys have a way of twisting everything around." - Johnny 

"Oh, you'll handle 'em, just like you always do." - Roy

"I know, I will handle it.  By myself." - Johnny

"I wouldn't have it any other way." - Roy 

 

😭😭  "I wouldn't have it any other way."

 

And this is Jake.  No matter what he does - all the public denials, all the pouting and frowning, all the disappearance from view ... doesn't matter.  He'll always be Jake and loved here at Narnia.  He's all of this and lots of good stuff that we used to see way back when.  Now? We just aren't privy to see it and that's fine.  He's living his life as he should be able to do.

So, here he was allegedly a few days ago on December 12, with someone, we have no idea who that is. 🙈 Allegedly attending Guy Ritchie's son Rocco Ritchie's opening art exhibition:

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The word "allegedly" is used more times in my Jake photo labels.  LOL!  

Okay, so off we go.
