Jake Gyllenhaal: Oh, The Places He'll Go on 11.11 - Part 2 of 2


Part 2 of 2 ( If you arrive here first, click here for Part 1 of Jake Gyllenhaal: Oh, The Places He'll Go on 11.11 )


So just like on November 11, 2011, Jake's whereabouts this past week have been jam-packed, meant to be highly visible (because there's nothing to hide here), with geographic contradictions everywhere. The kind of frenetic, VERY PUBLIC pattern, that began in Rome in October 2007 with the scripted, paparazzi frenzy surrounding the kickstarting of the Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal fauxmance. The kind of high profile activity on his twitter search that usually hinted at another addition to the GyllenNichols family.  Back in October 2007,  the rumor was that a son had been born.  This time in 2011, speculations pointed to a girl instead. 



I think Jake Gyllenhaal and his lover Austin should continue to focus on their new daughter, as they have been doing. He is extremely talented, and a year or two hiatus will not diminish him whatsoever. He is a respected actor for a reason (because he is exceptional, should anyone need reminding). I look forward to his acting choices in future. I would not dare giving him advice, especially in areas where I am not qualified.

Jake's people were so upset at this posting when it was brought to the Oh My Godot blog, a poster suddenly appeared on that same Film Experience website, impersonating a prominent OMG poster, in an anemic attempt to try and discredit the notion that Jake and Austin were together and raising a family.  Remember, the paid interns are online 24/7.



 Let's recap for a moment so we don't lose the plot to the story. We started out with a reminder of just how many medical center visits Jake was associated with in Los Angeles, prior to November 11, 2011. Then we pointed out two blog comments from a popular Toothy Tile site in February and March 2011, statements that indicated how Jake and Austin were still together and that they were raising a family, another one planned for 11-11-11.



Jake then inexplicably, but very publicly transports himself to New York at the end of September 2011 and, at least according to social media sightings, is seen everywhere over the next six weeks. If an envelope opened, Jake was there. If there was coffee to drink, he was ordering. If food was nearby, he was either shopping or eating it. If a film event was taking place, Jake was attending.  Well, I think the point is obvious. Jake was in New York, damn it! Not California. And, as is so often the case with PR teams, subtly was totally lacking in the narrative that was being sold. A narrative which culminated on November 11, 2011 when Jake went on a city tour hop, a true social butterfly. Coffee in the morning, dancing until late in the evening. Kind of odd that over the next five years Jake pretty much has became a recluse. Rarely seen, bearded up, his public image shifted from fan friendly and approachable to someone uber, uber private, as pounded home by the Guardian interview "I Would Love To Not Talk About My Private Life".



And even now that he is seen every day in Los Angeles as he campaigns for that Oscar nomination this week, and today, 11-11-17, is seen simultaneously in England and Los Angeles, the playbook remains the same. As the French say, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." And, very little about Jake has changed after all these years. 

And speaking of, because this story is still live action, late-breaking, we have new developments on the World Tour.  Apparently, Jake is now as we write, at the Governors Awards in Los Angeles:



 

and.....



 

Oh, the places he will indeed go. But not to worry.  The birthday girl has likely opened up all her presents by now and cake was enjoyed by all. 



*Happy Birthday, Baby Tile.*
