In Sickness And In Desperate Times: Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols Are Far From Done-zo



Rumors, rumors, rumors.   Pesky things, aren't they?  And for two 38 year old men who supposedly were only f-buddies or "buds with benefits" and haven't even taken a NYC broad daylight sidewalk stroll together since 2012 , there's been a sudden increase in "concern" for their relationship.  And Narnia is beginning to feel like Dear Abby - we're not sure who's going to pop up out of the internet bushes next! 

One thing is for sure, the countdown is on.   Jakers has one and a half weeks remaining with his theater gig.  On Friday, July 5, Spiderman: Far From Home will be released.  Between April 1 and July 5, it's anyone's guess the number of Instagram Stories Jakers and/or Austin's fans will be privy to, placing each one here and there, there and here.  No doubt, covering for some extended family down-time until the stretch when Jakers will begin in earnest to pound the pavement promoting the big Flick.

As mentioned before, this will be one of the biggest movies in Jake's career.  It's definitely going to be his most financially beneficial - looks like the Baby Tiles will be able to get new shoes next school year!

And just like last October when Austin was waving & flashing his right finger bling to any camera pointed in his direction, his love-bun Jake appears to now be doing the same.  


 All right, all right... geez! Funny thing.  Remember back in 2008 when Jake made an appearance at the LA Conservation Corp Spring Charity/Scholarship Luncheon?  Let's see how one account preferred to remember it.  
                                                        "Remember when he had to use crutches?"

  Aah yes, the crutches.  Well, some of us older-timers remember this outing as the one when Jake was hiding something under that dress shirt.

A bit of his own bling.  Hidden. On a chain.

Fast forward to March of 2019 and it seems Jake is turning that shirt inside out and trying to convey a "big change" in his personal life.  Sun beams are radiating from the NY Public Theater via endless Instagram pictures where he doesn't seem to mind everyone knowing THIS time around.  ;-)

 
Boom!  Watch out - that ring's a swingin'!


Boy, when these fellas want fans to notice something, they make sure it gets done, don't they?

So, which one of these two OTP halves is going to beat the other to the "barn" altar?  The "private island" altar?  The "private residence" altar? Jake??? Austin???   

The big tent pole flick very well may be requiring the big tent pole fake marriage.   The Gyllynicholsgaard Compound just may be putting the finishing touches on an additional extra mother-in-law cottage as we write!  Because these two men have about run out of stunts.  There's not many believable alternatives left.   

And it's looking more like Jake will beat Austin to the finish line.  Because after all, when the real life hubs is already allegedly carrying on a torrid, polygamous marriage with a former co-star....


Didn't you know????


I've been told!!



















Yes, as you can see, it's been non-stop entertainment around the Narnia neighborhood lately.  But the sideshow activity would be hard pressed to beat a Gyllenwedding.  Aaaaah yes.  There would be no competing with that move.  

 Well, Narnia is ready and will keep an eye on our internet inbox for perhaps that very special People.com announcement when the ring becomes another a band.

300th Episode Partying aka Get Out the Family Calendar



Well, when one has as large of a family ark as Jared Padalecki + real life partner Jensen Ackles have (or Jake Gyllenhaal + real life husband Austin Nichols), the coordination and sync'ing of calendars can get a bit tricky.  Birthdays, doctor and dentist wellness appointments, schoolwork, children activities and milestones, lost woobie blankets, loose tooth, trike-falling boo-boo's, wedding or commitment anniversaries, not to mention filming, conventions, bearding photo ops and other bearding/merkin/mearding commitments and contract fulfillments.


LOL!  Aka "behind the scenes" after these guys are away from the cameras.

Ahem.  Anyways....Narnia interrupts our own holiday hiatus to ask one question after observing the 300th episode hoopla (as we took a look at in "Two Strikes and You're Out With the Padackles Foursome" ).   First, let's take a quick look at how another show handled a milestone episode.

The Simpsons television show reached their 400th episode back in 2006 (production taking place between March and December of that year).  The episode did not air until the following year (their episodes are filmed a year in advance).   Here's creator Matt Groenig at the 400th episode block party held on May 11, just a little over a week before the airing on May 20.  The episode (again) had already been produced.



Fast forward to the show Supernatural, which holds its 300th episode celebration before the episode was even filmed, let alone aired.   


 


 

A milestone celebration filled with taunting and manipulation (withholding and delaying pictures of the two lead stars together), in addition to plenty of proactive mearding and predictable bearding.  When was that celebration held again?


 
Oh, that's right.  November 16.  But surely all of these antics could have been conducted just as easily closer to February 7 (when the episode is scheduled to actually air), couldn't they?  Of course they could.  So what was it about that time frame in mid-November where it was PR-approved that Jared and Jensen could be allowed to be at the same event, in the same town, but not in Austin, Texas?

Flash back to mid-November 2016, when Narnia speculated about another Go-Big-to-Hide-Big event  in "It Was the Biggest, Secondest Wedding of the Year".  For all that was detailed in that post, Narnia believes the twins were actually born sometime just prior to this big OTT, non-event which was preceded by a "turkey run" and other distractions. 

Fast forward two years later and a very quiet week leading up to the big and loud 300th celebration for an episode that hadn't even filmed yet.  So our question would be, why celebrate early?

Aaaah, indeed.  Hard not to question the apparent scheduling need, isn't it?  

As you were, men!

Poor Jake: Always a Guest, Never a Groom


Since early December last year, Jake Gyllenhaal's social media team has been trying to plant him in New York City with Christmas Carol singing, Happy Birthday to Me singing, Happy Birthday to Amy Schumer dinner, walking around and around and around in SoHo.

The Critics Choice Awards took place on January 11, and though this was the only major award event where he was nominated, Jake did not attend their ceremony.  Nor did he attend the Palm Springs Film Festival with Tatiana Maslany to help promote the film Stronger, where it was shown two days earlier on the 9th. 

He did attend the Sundance Film Festival on Saturday, January 20th, yet as we observed in" Jake Gyllenhaal leaving Sundance 2018 With Everything But the Money Shot ", it appeared that his time spent at the film event was brief at best.  He was in and he was out.  And if Narnia didn't know any better....well, we won't go there, let's put it that way.

On February 10, Jake was allegedly seen in London.  What?  You mean, you're not sure this is him having a sip of tea?





Excuse Narnia while we try to post that picture with the straightest of face.


On Tuesday, February 13, Calvin Klein held its fashion show in the Big Apple as part of NY Fashion Week.  After last year's July visit/ bro-fest at Raf Simons' NY Fashion Show (the one with the umbrellas and rainboots), which turned out to be a prelude before Jake's own Calvin Klein splashy "campaign", what a surprise it was to see Jake hopping on a plane out of NYC faster than you could blink an eye.  

Whaaaaa?  Jake miss the Calvin Klein show?  But Margot Robbie was there!!!  Didn't it also seem as though fashion shows were becoming a new thing for he and his sister? After all, he was attending several last year, right? And again - Margot Robbie. Plus, that whole New Face of Calvin Klein campaign!  But wait. Now, guess who else was there?  In fact, she was on the runway...



Well, well, well, well. 

Must have been something significant to keep him from attending the show and a chance to catch up with his Calvin Klein campaign co-star, Liya Kebede?  

 But of course, who saw this coming, especially when their engagement was just barely announced Feb 12 (using the vehicle of Ellen DeGeneres' 60th birthday party to do the reveal)


Yup, that's who you think it is.  Quiet, unassuming Chris Fischer - you know, childhood Martha's Vineyard friend of Jake Gyllenhaal.  So often seen with Jake in his earlier NY years when the pictures were too numerous to count and the rumors about Jake and Austin were as hot as could be.  Has Chris been seen with Jake since the Witherspoon fauxmance years?  Not very often.  But then, when you have the jakebullsh*ttingovereveryone, I mean jakeovereverything Instagram site to remind folks of this ne'er seen anymore old friendship, it's easier to remember what used to be.  As was seen here on Jan 31, a photo captioned to be "around 2007":



Aaah yes, ring a bell, Jake Old-Timers?  :-)  So back to our present year of 2018, imagine the sound of our gasps when we saw that these two lovebirds couldn't even wait until Austin's birthday in April to occupy Jake with a wedding ceremony to attend. 




The news hit the feeds of CNN, People, US Weekly, E Online, Vogue and USA Today, which is an indication that their teams wanted to reach a few more folks than merely Just Jared readers and Instagram followers.  ;-)   And for the many who didn't know who Chris Fischer was, the likes of Just Jared and People.com were there to help.  This story was seen on several sites, 5 Things To Know About Amy Schumer's New Husband (apparently everything happened so fast, Just Jared didn't have time to dig into their photo files for a different side-by-side):

So where does our fave guy, Mr. Jake figure into all of this?  Well, it sounds like he was on the guest list.  Does it sound like he was the Best Man?  Well, looking at this alleged seat position, it doesn't look like it.  Thanks to this Instagram account holder for showing the way with this high-vis yellow arrow:

Okay, then.....Well, a bit hard to tell, isn't it?  Let's see if we can round up another photo of our guy, maybe one with his face.



Let's be clear, when a poster needs yellow and turquoise high-visibility arrows to point to Jake Gyllenhaal, that's not a good sign.  Oh, wait! You mean there IS a good, clear picture?  Hold on!   Well, lookee here.
We're minus the bride, but we can't have too high of expectations, I reckon.  


So Mr. Fischer is married™, biting the big one before his childhood beach buddy Jake is able to.  Hopefully, he got over this obvious set of nerves,




07 11 20:  Well, well, well.  Yet ANOTHER deleted tweet.  Let's try another, shall we?


Hard not to notice that dead man walking expression on Chris' face, don't you think?  It is interesting that the twosome progression of Chris Fischer and Amy Schumer was rushed along through the public lens faster than Apollo Ohno on ice.  Within months, the odd couple went from a dark, grainy dinner photo to a birthday party à la Instagram in December, to engaged on Feb 11, and married two days later, the day before Valentine's Day! A wedding which happened so quickly, it looks like there wasn't even time to line up an official.  From Page Six:

Rather than be joined together in holy matrimony by a religious figure, Schumer chose actor-comedian John Early dressed in drag as his character Vicky, who appears on the Netflix series “The Characters,” Page Six has learned.

During the ceremony, Early — who also had a notable role on Netflix’s “Wet Hot American Summer” series — donned a sash that read “Reverend Vicky” over a pair of blue jeans and a button-down.

And where was the wedding taking place?




The Blast reported that the pair rented a private home along the scenic coastal enclave to exchange their vows. - The Knot News

Other sources would be much more specific and mention that the wedding took place at a "private residence" in Malibu, California, somewhere we know both Jake and Austin are quite familiar with. And, since Jake apparently vanished again right after the "I do's", we might need that high-vis yellow arrow to find him again. That is until the next stunt drops him into another "public" moment to date stamp his existence.
