Boy, is his boyfriend going to be pissed.....

One step from being as pathetic as closet case DiCaprio

That turtleneck sweater is pure self-sabotage, Jakey boy.

Oh la la!

Do you think Reese is gay? I still don't get why she bearded for him? her first hubby sure has gayface

Jake appears to have lost a pound or ten.

He totally has lost his looks he has aged poorly like her sister

*his

Oh, I think he looks fine.

Are you saying the periwinkle adjacent turtleneck negates the beard?

recent pic

Why does he even bother anymore?

R14 Oscah!

No, actually he's not dating a woman right now.

I always have a soft spot for him due to BBM. So wish him the best

Older beards might want a bigger commitment like a marriage or a child. Ask Irina Shayk.

Been there done that.

I just can't believe Jake has ever touched a pussy.

He looks older than 38. He looks like he's in his forties.

"I just can't believe Jake has ever touched a pussy."

Jack Nasty! You didn't go up there to fish!

[quote]'My own brokenness. my broken was attracted to your broken, maybe that’s why I allowed you to break me'

It's a good thing she's pretty.

Been there, done that.

A 22 year old? C'mon Jakey.

That is awfully young.

She doesn't look that young, or like a model, for that matter. Still the heterosexual heart wants what the heterosexual heart wants.

I thought he would date someone as basic and boring as himself. Not an IG model.

She is a beard like that girl who is bearding for James Franco. Jake needs to come out.

Tit's Ahoy, Sailor Jake! Shiver me timbers!

So...he's dating in Europe.

Poor Jake looks 10 years older than he should.

I ask this honestly, besides Ted's BI, is there any proof he's gay?

She is ugly - fish face like so many women that have been made over.

r33 Ted was one of the few who actually knew things in Hollywood, you can probably trust his BI's.

Awe Why is he doing this ?It puts me off him when he does nonsense like this.

R35, Ted was full of shit a lot of the time. He also had a whole thing on "Baby Tile." This kid would be 10 already and they're still hiding him. Unlikely.

Once more for ole times sake:

Jake Gyllenhaal's obit: "He was fucked in a tent by Oscar winner Heath Ledger."

10 red hot red carpet dates a year!

They can marry, inseminate ala Clooney and straightness intact.

I'd still fuck him.

Why now, Jake? Why?

His family must know, right? They can't be that dense, can they?

R43 Ask his mother, parents always know.

R43 His family must know, right?

Yes they know

Problematic

BAHAHAHAHAHA!

Conveniently separated by an ocean.

Do you really think Jake, Ryan and the wolfman are gay?

Lots of heterosexual American men prefer to date in Europe. It's very common.

R49 I'm sure about Reynolds and Jackman but I don't know about Jake I think he's gay but he may be bisexual

Oy! Hebrew genetics R32 Look for Jakey as Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof revival.

Page Six

[quote] Don Angie, which is known for its “lasagna for two” dish,

That's the most Data Lounge menu item I've ever heard of!

Papa's got a brand new beard...

Memories,

Light the corners of my mind

Misty water-colored memories

Of the way we were

Scattered pictures,

Of the smiles we left behind

Smiles we gave to one another

For the way we were

So he's no longer gay then?

Boring and bland is right. Who cares. This guy is the epitome of an uptight prick who takes himself way too seriously.

Good for him

I love how Page Six says he was having dinner with a buddy and says they were having an "intimate conversation" and lets us all know it was a place known as "dinner for two".

Does Jake regret Brokeback? If you took Brokeback out of the equation, I can't imagine his career having been what it is.

He seems desperate and uninteresting. Without the gay rumors, would anyone care?

Brokeback Mountain is the movie that made him a star and garnered him his only oscar nomination r61.

It's still the highlight of his career.

Remember, he "dated" Taylor Swift when she was 19. He doesn't seem to know how to effectively beard, probably because he can't really commit to it (which makes all the "boyfriend at home" stories more credible). The Reese situation was part of his effort to find another Oscar-worthy role. He thought her Oscar luck would rub off on him.

Was this part of his Spider Man Far From Home contract?

Only a certain subset of gossipy gay men traffic in “gay rumors” about him. I don’t know of anyone outside of that small group that is Even aware of gay rumors about him.

[quote]gossipy gay men

Isn't that what's known as a tautology?

Thought he was dating his co-star from a few films, Riz Ahmed.

Ewwwww R13, Paul Dano is morphing in Mitch McConnell

Guys, please leave Jake alone. He only dates in Europe.

So do we!

R66-are you stuck in 1968?

Has anyone in the history of the world ever looked good in a turtleneck? No.

R72 Yes

[quote][R66]-are you stuck in 1968?

You're posting on a gossip thread on a site devoted to gay gossip, dear x

R18 Hugh Jackman's wife can confirm your statement.

Bottom Line: It's not who Jake goes out with. It's who he goes home with.

Does Daniel Radcliffe have a current beard?

I like Jake as an actor. I wish he'd do more movies.

I often wonder what Jake G smells like. I know not why.

My favorite films of his are BBM, ZODIAC and PROOF. I always enjoy THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, too.

Zodiac was a great movie, but that had more to do with Mark Ruffalo than Jake.

Jakey looks gaunt. Ick!

r81 The closet kills!

I often wonder how parents, of closeted celebs, treat the beards. When they are brought home for the holidays, are they treated like family or do they eat in the kitchen with the rest of the help? Do they sleep in the guest room or go to a hotel? Does the real partner show up for holidays too? Is it the partner who takes the Instagram photos of the celeb, family & beard posing for those awkward, obviously staged pics?

r65, the Page Six post at r60 is pretty obvious that the press is still teasing about Jake's mystery gender neutral dinner partner at a place known for couples (dinner for two).

Fuck you and your homophobic gossipy gay shit.

I think the parents are smart enough to be on board with the beards. For the most part, their offspring earn a lot more money than the parents so why mess with the cash flow?. I know the beard for Edgar Ramirez who used to beard for Ricky Martin. She is a Venezuelan actress who loves the exposure. The deal works for everyone.

Im sure the parents treat them just like any other friend that their child brings home for the holiday...They dont have to treat it as anything other than what it is...a friendship.

R41 Me too.

I'm not going to say anything or I'd be saying too much.

Jesus christ, isn't he ashamed to be pulling this shit in 2018?

The issue now is not whether he's actually gay, bi, etc. or not in his private life. He's already said he's not gay (to Oprah, I believe) and if he we all assume he's been bearding, he has to have one helluva coming out to undo it. Once you lie, to live the truth, you have to admit you were a liar.

This is why Lee Pace, Jim Parsons, etc., who didn't beard had an easier time because they didn't have to admit that they were lying or suddenly realized they were gay. The "gay community", so to speak, was happy to claim Ricky Martin, Wentworth Miller, etc., but they know they're going to have to say all of that bearding was what it was or at least claim with a "straight" face that they were really seriously interested in the beards.

Jake would rather keep getting people to give him money for projects and not be the actor who lied. He's not Spacey, but still...

I wish I knew how to quit you....

When the leading man acting roles dry up, and he's no longer A-list relevant, he'll come out.

But it'll be packaged as a "I didn't realize I was sexually attracted to men until later in life," blah blah blah.

Jake's problem is that he needs a real woman, someone more like Chrissy Metz, who can make a man out of our boy.

[quote]When the leading man acting roles dry up, and he's no longer A-list relevant

What do you mean "when," R92?

He needs a REAL woman like Stefoknee Wolscht.....

^^^^^Sorry, I forgot Stefoknee is only six years old.....that would be creepy.^^^^

[quote]I love how Page Six says he was having dinner with a buddy and says they were having an "intimate conversation" and lets us all know it was a place known as "dinner for two".

R60 & r84. Actually, the place is known for its “lasagna for two”. And yes, Page Six is blatantly teasing him. He was on a date with a guy.

[quote]Only a certain subset of gossipy gay men traffic in “gay rumors” about him.

Does Page Six count as part of the “certain subset of gossipy gay men” r65 is reffering? Fuck off frau.

r97, your "clarification" was unnecessary. You were just repeating the literal original ("lasagna for two"). I was stating it outright ("dinner for two"). Same thing, without the code. And yes, I thought it was blatant as well. Complete with frustrated Jake face photo. Most likely, this was something the publicists were already aware of thus, floating the story that he's dating a 22 year old across an ocean (shhh, media, he's not out), followed by the Page six carefully coded "response" (dinner with a "buddy" at a place known for "lasagna for two" as (non) "non sequitir" factoid).

At this point, even your great-aunt Edna in Bumfucke pretty much assumes that Jakey G. is a big ol' pole smoker.

See also: Pine, Chris.

I think “dinner for two” and “lasagna for two” have completely varied implications. The latter could be more intimate, like eating one lasagna off the same plate.

Jake G. won't come out until he's old AF and nobody cares anymore, like Richard Chamberlain.

He’s past his prime, r102. People already don’t care.

It seems Jake is desperate he would ever try going to the Bradley Cooper route

Versatile Sausage Lasagna for two.

R90 But that's the crux of the issue. If you come out as gay, then the beard becomes a burden needing explanations. If you come out as bi, then no one cares. Although for a man to come out as bi right now is not very profitable. You don't get the gay lobby support, you lose the straights anyway.

He is so clearly gay the bearding is just pathetic, but that's how the Industry operates.

Everyone is clearly gay on DL.

STFU r108 Jake pings from the moon.

R65 types like a fangurl frau attempting to sound “in the know”. What a bore she must be....

Didn't he cryptically out himself when he won the BAFTA for Brokeback?

R109 So what? Some of the guys who ping are straight, some are bisexual, some are gay. You live in the previous century.

The sad thing about that clip of his award acceptance, like most of his other interviews, is that while it makes him seem more human as a nervous dork in some ways, it also makes him seem like he's in need of a lot of "help" and probably why he's so susceptible to publicists.

LOL r112. Jake is obviously gay, even for people who've never seen him out and about in NY.

r112, you're last century. When people say someone "pings" it's not just mannerisms people are talking about. It's about a lot of other evidence that sets off the radar. Bearing with Taylor Swift is one of them. These random women Jake seems thrown together with, from Reese to 22 year olds across an ocean make no sense, paired with ridiculous publicist hype ("she's the one!") which quickly proves not to be the case.

R115 People can say someone pings even when they see the person in question for the first time in their life. He might be gay sure. He also might be into sex with hookers. Into super kinky sex which he is deathly afraid to admit. Asexual. Bisexual. Polyamorous. Into one night stands, no desire for a relationship of any kind. Whatever. But on DL everyone is always gay.

STFU r116. We're talking about Jake Gyllenhaal, a man who is clearly gay. Take your shit over to Tumblr with the other clueless idiots.

R117 If I got a dollar every time gay men told me I was clearly gay. And I wasn't even closeted unlike possibly Jake.

I don't think he's very attractive and I think he has a terrible and obvious nose job.

r116, you're on the wrong board and an hysteric. And likely not gay.

First of all, this a Jake-specific thread. Only hysterics come on every gay thread and try to trash it by saying it's about DL declaring anyone and everyone gay. It's tired and pathetic. Jake is a good-looking talented guy who should not, at almost 40, have had difficulty having a real girlfriend to the extent that publicists would go to such extremes to cover it up.

Second, there are lots of people - more than ever before - that are drooled over and discussed on DL with everyone admitting that they seem to be straight. So no, the board does not say everyone is gay, including every good looking person. What we who are gay are good at is spotting behavior in context that says something is up.

Third, If you take every comment on this board as a declaration as everyone is gay, you need therapy. It's a message board, where people are not make carefully qualified testimony that would hold up in court. It's harmless banter and bitchery, that we do in casual conversation that has found a place of expression on the internet. You are OVERreacting.

Finally, this is a gay board, no matter how many fraus and homophobes invade it. Even if you think it's fantasy talk, why the fuck do you have to care? Just fucking go away.

*call someone hysterical

*write a thesis to explain stuff

Well done.

Jake is so gay that even fraus can sniff it out. That's fucking gay.

r121, can't defend herself. Well done.

Is Jake a bottom and does he swallow? Who hear has had him?

R123 No point talking to someone who thinks using female markers when talking to supposedly a guy is cool. Too much dust in that closet.

I wonder if the world’s hilariously worst beard selector, H. Cavill, is thinking: “Maybe I can date Jake’s girlfriend’s girlfriend!”

R115, keep in mind, just because two celebrities are in a fake relationship for publicity doesn’t necessarily mean that one of them is gay. Even straight guys get into fake shomance relationships because it helps their brand and helps them get more media attention and awareness and general heat.

r123, if you're a "guy" especially a gay man, defend your fucking comment. Every one of the comments in r120 is valid. This is a Jake-specific thread, not about everyone being gay. The board has acknowledged many men drooled over as straight. You're overreacting with hyperbolic bullshit.

The last beard was Taylor Swift in 2010 right? That's a long time between confirmed "relationships". Suspect the chatter about his sexuality was growing in volume and this was a way to lower it. He's been all over his male co-stars' social media lately and it didn't escape people's attention. I guess nothing says I'm a normal hetero male like dating a model 15 years younger than you.

r115, you write like a publicist. as others have said, this is about Jake. Not every other celebrity. Jake has overdone this so much it's clear that there's a publicity machine working overtime to squash the question as to why Jake has not been in a credible relationship with a woman.

R128 You also only see "gay" and "straight", literally no other option exists. There is nothing to discuss, I wrote it all a few comments upwards.

Maybe Jake is Bi??

But even if he were, when he is with men he is in a homosexual relationship, having homosexual sex, and having homosexual needs.

Jake is gay.

r131, again, you are overreacting on a gay message board. Just because everyone doesn't write gay/bi every fucking time doesn't mean we see it as black and white or exclude the possibility that he's bi. The gay/bi distinction you are making is a blurry one, and if you're such an expert and the distinction you would know this. For example, would he bi because he's been interested in 1 woman or 10% of the time even if he's "mostly into men" and hasn't slept with a woman for decades? This is a debate that has gone on for decades now on DL and requires just as much speculation and categorizing that leads to "theses" of discussion that you hate.

Your defense is ridiculous and still doesn't justify the post that has correctly earned you a lot of blowback - that DL thinks everyone is gay. False. DL has often called men described above as bi and said so.

Again, you can't defend your bullshit.

I've never known a 40 year-old straight man who has never been married or at the very least hasn't had one or two long-term live-in relationships with a woman. And most of them have at least one kid by that age.

The older these closeted guys get, the more obvious it becomes. Of course in Jake's case, there are other telltale signs as well. And if you're also a gay man as I am, you know I don't have to explain shit in regards to that.

[QUOTE]I've never known a 40 year-old straight man who has never been married or at the very least hasn't had one or two long-term live-in relationships with a woman. And most of them have at least one kid by that age.

This isn’t the 1950’s anymore. As a straight male, you don’t need to get married or move in with a girl to get sex on a consistent basis. The number of straight millennial and soon generation z guys fitting that description might outnumber the married ones.

Contrarian Bitch r135 you need to live in the real world. JFC. A 40 year-old straight man who's never been married or in a long-term relationship is like a unicorn.

r135, who cares? And gee, you're right, it's not the 1950s anymore, so he doesn't have to marry his secretary like Rock did. You are missing the point. It's the press claiming he's smitten with all of these women and this one or that one is "the one". And yet, surprise, they never are. If he had a real relationship with a woman, they wouldn't have to fabricate them.

Why are you working so hard to deny deny deny the possibility that Jake is gay?

Jake was with Austin Nichols for some time, but they apparently had a big falling-out.

All R135 is doing is proving how bad all of these deflections are. "But but but but..." Every contrarian like R135 just cannot stand that DL wants to at least speculate that a celebrity might be gay and goes on these rants. Publicist, homophobe, who cares what you are, you don't belong on this thread or board.

The greasy fat fraus that invade these threads with their tard responses. " how do u know he's gay!!!??1!!?" "No proof!!!" You retarded fat fraus ignore the proof that's always presented to you, just light yourself in a grease fire dumb fat cunts.

He is not aging well.

I’m not working hard to deny anything. I don’t know or care about Jake Gyllanhaal. I just stumbled upon this thread, saw the last post and wanted to respond as I know several guys who fit that description and are indeed straight. It’s not Jake I care about but all of those outdated “tells” about whether a guy is straight or not.

In R138 “bottom” picture, the newbie was heard to whisper: “I just got off the bus this morning from Podunkville, Nebraska”, and I have nowhere to stay! Can you see me to the nearest bus stop, kind sir?”

r142 you type like a clueless straight frau.

R140, but there isn't proof. It's all speculation unless you saw him fucking a man on video or someone came forward with proof he was his lover. It's all based on a blind item and him dating Taylor Swift. That wouldn't exactly stand up in court. I don't really care if he is or not, but the posts here always claiming with 100% certainty of someone's sexuality are ridiculous.

Bingo, R142. You finally admitted it. You "don't know" (!) OR "care" (!) about Jake but here you are posting over and over on this this thread you allegedly "stumbled" onto when people are telling you it's Jake that we're here to discuss.

You just admitted you're here to push your agenda about how to identify gay men GENERALLY and are deflecting off topic on things that having nothing to do with Jake. You're making this about YOU.

We know, asshole. We called it since you started posting this DL-bashing shit. Go start your own thread.

No, R145 you fucking moron. This is a GOSSIP board. What about that do you not understand? You're a tired relic on boards like this one asking "where is the proof! Where is the proof!!"

Just because we don't qualify this for you every time we post – "well I don't have any proof but here are my deductions and beliefs" you seem to be losing the fact that we are gossiping and speculating when we say "he's gay".

If you don't get that, you're not mentally equipped for a gossip board.

What the hell, I posted two times in here—the second of which was in response to multiple attacks against my first post incorrectly calling me a woman. And now this third one further defending myself. How am I pushing an agenda? I offered a bit of commentary and responded.

R145, please go back to the main page of this board.

"the DataLounge We've been serving up this steaming pile of Gay celebrity gossip, politics and pointless bitchery since 1995 (were you even born in 1995?) Go ahead."

It doesn't say bi. It doesn't say come with proof. It's a Gay gossip board. Go away.

You're lying, R148. The post you claimed you're defending is still there after I blocked you. You're all over this thread. And if you're responding to the charge that you have an agenda but posted even ONCE on this thread admitted you "DON'T KNOW OR CARE" about Jake but are here to attack the concept of gay gossip, you deserve any response you get.

Because you either don’t know what you’re doing or you blocked someone who wasn’t really me, moron.

Jake is obviously an incel. A very straight one at that.

I have it on good authority that both Jake and Maggie are gay. In addition to Pete Sarrsgard, who's flaming.

We believe you r153 re Saarsgard. He flames brightly in our night sky.

Obviously a bad breakup, r138. Straight bros just don’t sever ties and stop hanging out with each other so suddenly. They went from being seen everywhere together to completely dropping each other.

r155 there must've been some major screeching drama.

R155, they do if there’s a girl involved, like if one guy sleeps with the other guy’s girlfriend. That does happen and that does destroy straight male friendships.

r157....BWHAHAHAHAHA....as if either one of them is straight and banging women.

R158, Nichols was involved with Claire Oswalt and Sophia Bush.

Nichols is a pole-smoking fag.

Nichols appears to be unrequitedly following Jake on IG.

mary, the world knows he suck cock....why botha

There you go r157. Jakey and Austin were both pounding the same pussy and got in a big fight over it. Hahaha!

From his Wiki.....

Nichols has been friends with actor Jake Gyllenhaal since the two met on the set of The Day After Tomorrow in 2004. Nichols said in one interview, "I've learned a ton from Jake. He's a really sharp guy. He told me everything about acting, the business, girls, life."[2]

In other words...."he taught me how to beard"

R106 then the beard becomes a burden needing explanations.

the beard needs to explain about the lying and bearding bs.

Some even made a career out of being a beard like Nicole Kidman

Peter Sarsgaard has gay voice but I don't think he's gay

and closeted lezzies tend to fake pregnancy and use surrogate but Maggie was pregnant for real same for Witherspoon who DL says she bearded for Gyllenhaal

Even if he is bisexual what difference it makes he is still bearding this girl is not his gf she just isn't

R133 You are lying through your teeth. The only situations where DL will grudglingly admit that a celeb is not gay (not bi, not pan, 100% gold star never touched a cunt gay) is when said celeb is very obviously into women. Even then people will keep saying, okay, but I bet he fucks men behind her back. Which is so fucking offensive and biphobic I can't even.

R133 Also yes, he would be bi even if he only was attracted to a single woman in his whole life. Still bi.

Aren't you the ones getting insulted at the proposal that a gay man can be sexually attracted to a woman? Then quit calling men gay simply on the basis of their same-sex attraction.

Oh I see the bisexual psycho is back at R168

Not lying "through my teeth". I've been here since 1995. You're an idiot whose argument fails on its own method. You're accusing DL of a sweeping generalization about all men being gay but making a sweeping generalization about DL and never accepting anyone is bi. Prove it. There are plenty of threads where people say men who sleep with women are bi. You're too hysterical to see it.

And once again, this thread is about Jake, not your attacks on DL or your "bi" obsession. You're on the wrong board. Start your own thread on this on your anti-DL, proof-demanding, sweeping attacks on gay men and you'll deservedly get flamed.

And R169, that's your opinion that is not universally held or backed up by any science. If you're the same "bi-phobia" hijacker of this thread, of course that's your view. It doesn't make it true.

By your definition, If you've ever slept with our had attraction to one woman, you get slapped with the bi label, even if you yourself identify as gay and have had sex with 1000 men. So if Jake HIMSELF identified as gay, you'd call him bi. So fuck you. NOW who is the person making sweeping generalizations. You.

What you're saying is absurd as saying any straight man who during a hormonal phase where he would fuck anything and is bi-curious is also bi. There is good science that men are more-hard wired but that attraction is not all "orientation" but can be situational especially for men before they hit 25.

Sexual orientation and labels have been challenged by data on all grounds. And bisexuality is a very broad continuum. You can be predominantly gay and have had bi experiences. Doesn't make you bisexual in orientation or identity.

r168, How old are you? ("Which is so fucking offensive and biphobic I can't even."). "I can't even". You can't even what, finish a sentence? Give me a fucking break.

As has been said above, the Datalounge page says this is a gay site. The splash says it's about gay news and gay gossip. There's no bi on the title page or on the splash that follows it. And there's no "phobia" (fear or hate) here. If you need bisexual validation and "visibility", go elsewhere. This site is not for delicate little bisexual flowers, especially the ones who "can't even".

Keep the focus on Jake, whom you can't prove is bi or straight either. You don't know if he fucked any women either. Just because you prefer him to be bi or straight doesn't make it any more valid than speculating that he's gay.

R168, give it a rest, girl....

Movie Star And The Thirsty Girl. SOLVED!

Wrong again R20

I'm still enjoying the idea of Hugh, Ryan R. and Jake at a party, full of wonder of what hetero things those girls do together.

Just because he played a gay in the movies doesn't mean he's gay in real life. Again, DL logic at work.

R177, publicist, straight person, DL contrarian, bi-erasure queen ... fuck off, you don't belong here.

On a lighter note, how did Jake go from wonky-eye child to what he is now? Fascinating transformation.

R178 It's called puberty.

Oh sure, R179. Puberty is nature's nosejob.

And fixes wonky eye.

r177, please do show us where DL's basis for claiming Jake is gay is because he played gay in one movie. DL troll logic at work.

[quote]Finally, this is a gay board, no matter how many fraus and homophobes invade it.

The Timothee threads are particularly invaded. I have to put them on ignore without even reading them. There's a group of people who should be banned, Muriel, the Lily Rose Derps.

r175 Where is that cat today?

Witherspoon dated her so he can't be gay gay right? I don't think she's gay and her current hubby is not gay

I believe Kirsten Dunst is gay

Most gays don't care about Sha La La

Who or what is "Sha La La"?

Shalamay

r185 beards don't have to be gay. Every beard doesn't need a merkin, they just have to be female.

I have never seen a straight beard

Brooke Shields is a good example she bearded for whole Hollywood and people are stupid enough to think that she's not a lesbian and her hubby and former hubby (Andre Agassi!) were not gay that's just stupid

Betty White suggested that she was bearding for Liberace when she went on dates with him. Kelly Preston is not a lesbian. Fran Drescher is not. Phyllis Gates said she was not (though some said she was a lesbian). There's even more at this old DL thread:

[quote]I ask this honestly, besides Ted's BI, is there any proof he's gay?

Hope and dreams, kid. Hopes and dreams.

R183, agreed. See the Famous Women who bearded thread above.

"I really believe Reese & Jake G was real, they were in love and would be married by now without media attention".

Really? Come on.

Usually guys date much younger girls because younger girls are very inexperienced, and usually believe any bullshit an older man will peddle. They're more gullible. At least that is what my older brother says. He's 32 and has never dated anyone close to his own age once he got out of college. In high school and college he dated age appropriate women and they'd dump him. Younger girls "always look up to me as if I know everything."

Don't know if Jake is Gay or straight, inclined to think he may well be Gay or Bi, but clearly he is a subtler version of De Caprio. IMO. Career wise Jake does the Broadway theater thing, he does indie movies, and he seems to have a stable, career. He's not Bradley Cooper. Bradley has Jake's career.

[quote]He's not Bradley Cooper. Bradley has Jake's career.

r196 = Lenny B.

Jake is a good actor, not a great one. So is Bradley. Bradley seems to be the smarter one (somehow) at figuring out Hollywood. He played gay in a low-profile film, maybe that was it, or that he didn't try to go the Prince of Persia route. His follow-ups were smart choices and maybe some luck. I will say his voice work as Rocket and stage work in the Elephant Man showed more talent than he has on film.

I hope somebody outs him for "Bernstein". His publicity for that is going to be interesting. Unless Jake wanted a "coming out as bi" moment with that film, I think he dodged an awardness bullet.

r198 "An awardness bullet"?

Awkardness bullet, R199. Typo. Sorry.

Pre-plastic Jake.

Awww...cute, r201.

R2. No just one. You guys keep hoping the other two are gay. I don’t know why Jackman isn’t enough.

I mean a gay guy named “Jackman”? That writes itself here.

Jake has all but disappeared. He does some very good work. He is obviously talented, and he is above average looking. Yet he seems to just disappear when he doesn't have a movie coming out. I think he had poor representation during his Prince of Persia phase, encouraging him to do commercial crap for Disney. It seemed like he was chasing the Super hero/gamer movies, and fell flat on his ass. He changed agencies and his work seems to have improved, but honestly he really doesn't seem to want to be a public figure, so I find all this public stuff about a girl friend really curious. I think it's bullshit. Bradley Cooper has done the opposite. He's been a very public figure. And I think it helps that Bradley has all the right friends like Leo, Ben Affleck, and Robert De Niro/Scorcese. Jake doesn't seem plugged in to the power centers in Hollywood in terms of getting the good, A list material.

R198 Bradley Cooper probably has a better agent or management team.

Brad gives superior head.

[quote]I think he had poor representation during his Prince of Persia phase, encouraging him to do commercial crap for Disney. It seemed like he was chasing the Super hero/gamer movies, and fell flat on his ass.

PoP was the first of Jake's movies I didn't see.

Bradley is a more enthusiastic, willing pass-around bottom. And hungrier. And he's smarter, not just because he got a college degree. Somehow, after having a middling career, with a few box office hits, people started casting him in big projects.

Jake thinks he's principled. He trusts his agents. He thinks he's a better actor than he actually he is. He can't hide desperation or match it with performances.

There's probably a lot of truth behind this ("I could be here for hours" talking about his failed auditions) but at least Jake is cute about it and knows he's not quite the actor he aspires to be.

Oh, and why does his head look so huge? It's it his hair?

I used to find him so hot. He is too thin now.

Are Jake and his friend Riz Ahmed double dating with their secret GFs?

At least Jake shows the world his beards, what's Riz's problem, always lying about being 'single'. Yet Riz always has some odd looking unemployed GF on the down low. He never brings any of them to show business events. It's all so creepy. I wish a Hollywood insider would comment on Riz's odd personal life.

Riz's career has been a slow burn, even if he doesn't become A-List, he's the type of British actor who will always have a career. Which means it's going to become extremely difficult for him to continue hiding his weird looking GFs and his extremely odd private life. Riz used to go to sex parties in NYC with his creepy ex-GF. There's a lot going on behind the scenes....

r211 You think someone not wanting to expose their partners to the bullshit of celebrity is "creepy"?

[quote]You think someone not wanting to expose their partners to the bullshit of celebrity is "creepy"?

Are you a frau? Exposing one's private life is a big part of the showbiz game. There are ways to do without revealing every aspects of their lives. Riz's last GF wanted to be famous, she posted half-naked photos of herself all over the internet.

No one is asking for sex tapes and detailed personal info. Constantly lying to your fan base, especially with the positive pro-women, pro-LGBT, pro Muslim, pro-everything image Riz claims he's all about, not acknowledging any GF he's ever had, pre-fame too, is extremely creepy. Especially as he requires the GF-of-the-moment lock down her own life for him. The biggest joke, he claims he's a feminist! No when you are requiring your GF acts like she doesn't exist.

No sooner there were whispers about his new American GF, Riz made sure she deleted and privatized any online presence. Even though her online presence didn't reveal she was with him, Riz still required she basically erased her existence. I don't think Jake requires this of any of his GFs, especially as his current GF is a working model. She's an actual model, she doesn't simply call herself one.

Yes, Riz's behaviour is extremely odd and "creepy". Men with mistresses do this, not straight men with GFs or wives.

The current GF, a much younger black woman from Massachusetts who now lives in Brooklyn, locked down her social media accounts. She even took down her work related websites. She's. fashion stylist. Who does that? Is this behaviour fair to the woman?

Guess these women who date Riz are so blinded they're dating a 'famous' man, they are completely OK with all Riz's bullshit? No one is worth losing your identity because you're dating a famous person. These are not normal requirements in any relationship. If my partner asked me to do any of that bullshit, he wouldn't be my partner.

Unless hiding his GFs is calculated due to Riz wanting his fanbase to assume he's single and available? Whatever he's up to, his management and publicists are epically failing. Being so secretive also makes a certain segment of fans assume he's gay. This odd behaviour only make fans more curious, not less. Due to the success fo VENOM Riz has garnered an even younger fanbase of fans who are very curious about his love life.

r213 You seriously just wrote all of that to justify wanting to see photos of Riz's girlfriend? Fraus gonna frau.

[quote]You seriously just wrote all of that to justify wanting to see photos of Riz's girlfriend? Fraus gonna frau.

See photos of his GF? That's a fucking joke! Riz's in-the-know fans already know who she is and what she looks like, they've accessed her photos That's sure not what my post was about. I was articulate with my thoughts about ANY celeb hiding their partner and you damn well know it.

Once upon a time, DL was an extremely cool and fun place where normal gay men could actually have discussions without name calling and basically being bitter angry freaks who call fans of celebs "Stans" and "Fraus". Actually your posts screams "Frau", not mine. Don't lecture me. There's way too many sociopaths posting here these days.

Here she is. She's sure no mystery. Especially to those in the NYC fashion scene who have worked with her. Suck it.

She's cute, but looks like a dizzy teen, which might explain why Riz hides her. He's obviously in arrested development.

Nobody gives a fuck about Riz and whatever pussy he's pounding this week.

[quote]Nobody gives a fuck about Riz and whatever pussy he's pounding this week.

So now you claim to speak for EVERYONE?

Go fuck yourself.

Fuck you frau cunt. GAY MEN DO NOT GIVE A SHIT ABOUT WHICH STRAIGHT ACTORS ARE POUNDING WHATEVER PUSSY THIS WEEK. Take your frau shit to tumblr cunt.

This USED to be a gay board. We can't have a single fucking thread about real gay gossip without you frau cunts screaming about actresses and their kids or straight actors and their rotating girlfriends. WE DON'T GIVE A FUCK.

R218 R219 Needy bottom please stop the act. Everything is on the table. Go to the presenting holes thread where you belong.

R220, it's funny how the unhinged pathetic poster R218 and R219 assumes actors with 'girlfriends' like Riz are actually straight.

IMHO, I do think Riz is as gay as a purse popping out of Andy Cohen's loud mouth. Riz is Muslim, it would kill his career if he ever came out. His brother is gay.

r221 Just out of interest, are you the poster who last year started posting long, creepy, stalkerish posts on the Riz thread and basically rendered it unreadable?

[quote]Nobody gives a fuck about Riz

No one except the Datalounge Vaginal Auxiliary (probably the Lily Rose Derp squad)

Rizcunts, start your own fucking thread. Don't blow cuntfarts on Jake's.

[quote][R221] Just out of interest, are you the poster who last year started posting long, creepy, stalkerish posts on the Riz thread and basically rendered it unreadable?

There are many Riz fans here. When Riz's career was getting US traction due to The Night Of, his GF at the time had her friends come into the Riz threads. They posted detailed accounts about the GFs background. There are also Riz's fans who are into his rap career with Heems.

Besides, stalking is in the eye of the beholder.

FYI, Riz does have an actual stalker in London. A fat East Asian trust fund chick named Andini. Andini is the person you should be turning your vitriol towards. This woman is everywhere Riz is, he'd better watch himself.

There's a huge difference between people who enjoy talking about their celebrity faves online and those 'fans' who literally stalk celebs in real life. This 'fan' seems to have moved to London from Australia to be near Riz. That's some damn scary shit!

R178 so he’s the one who put out those albums under the name k.d. Lange?

This Riz Ahmed mentalist is the same one who tried to derail the Tea & Sympathy thread by suggesting she knew someone who knew Riz Ahmed so they could maybe get him to go to the restaurant. Absolutely insane.

Didn't that moronic Ted Casablancas give him the alias "Toothy Tile" while outing him in that stupid gossip column he used to "write?." He'd go on and on about "Toothy Tile." but I always thought "who cares?"

The Riz troll is the Travis Bickle of fraus.

Fraus always have to ruin a thread with their "Proof?!!!1!!" "It's just wishful thinking fagz!!!111!!" Fuck outta here fraus there's proof a d recipets being brought all the time and you fat greasy cow fraus ignore it. Fuck off and die.

“I hope somebody outs him for "Bernstein". His publicity for that is going to be interesting. Unless Jake wanted a "coming out as bi" moment with that film, I think he dodged an awardness bullet“

Bradley has big balls, I’ll give him that. He’s one of Hollywood’s biggest closet cases and he decides to take this role.? It won’t end well. He will be publicly outed.... again.

R230, needs to take his meds. How can anyone become so unhinged at an anonymous forum. If he wasn't showing signs of severe mental illness, his meltdowns would be kind of hilarious.

I reckon this freak doesn't have one friend. His outbursts also point to trollism.

r232, you reckon? I'm not R230 but totally support that post itself, whatever else it's related to. There is nothing "unhinged" about wanting fraus demanding proof on a gossip forum to go away. Stop overreacting to a few exclamation points on a gay forum.

[quote]Kelly Preston is not a lesbian.

She is.

R195 "I really believe Reese & Jake G was real, they were in love and would be married by now without media attention".

I also think they were a real couple I agree about all the woman named on this thread as his beards but not about Witherspoon.

*women

Not a Chalamet thread which I'm not even fan of him but Depp's daughter is outed before so yes she's a beard and also a lesbian

You're going to desecrate Jakey with a mention of that horrid creature, r236? Derp Girl, die.

R237 My post wasn't about Jake. I just saw Chalamet and his beard's name were mentioned in this thread so I wanted to say my opinion about Johnny's Depp's daughter's sexuality and her fame-whoreness

Eat shit, Derpie, thread-ruining frau.

Amazing how anyone, male or female, who comments that a male celeb is not gay, is immediately deemed a "frau".

What's even funnier, 'frau' has sure lost it's impact as being an insult here, why bother? It's juvenile and no longer funny or hurtful, it's just shows a lack of common sense and critical thinking.

Lots of people with mental illness seem to be posting on DL these days. Talk about "overreacting ".

GET HELP, the entire lot of you who see to think screaming at others and name-calling is normal behavior. Constantly hurling insults is not what any forum discussion is about.

Snarkiness at DL used to be fun and the norm, but not this type of ignorant and inane name calling. The current crop of DL posters are pure amateurs!

R240 = typical frau

Then stop bringing up Lily Van Derp, frau r240. Just STOP.

[quote]My post wasn't about Jake.

Oops. I should have said "Don't desecrate Jake's [italic]thread[/italic]."

Jake and Reese were not a real couple. What is wrong with you?

Fuck off fucking frau at r240.

And enjoy this pic of Jake G papped the morning after a night of sex with his then bf.

Yes, they were fucking.

I love how Reese's wiki makes no mention of Jake, at the same it makes clear her career was in a downward spiral during their "dating" period.

Who does Jake think he’s fooling? Sad.

They were very low-key I follow Reese but I didn't know about her dating Gyllenhaal until a year after they started dating. I don't think they were faking it.

R247 No one "dates" for two years.

They did

Anyway at most he had one real relationship with a woman (Witherspoon) but that's about it his other relationships were all def fake and bearding contracts.

Jake Gyllenhaal ‘super smiley’ with beard Jeanne Cadieu

I forgot. Why do we think Gyllenhaal is gay again?

Is it because of this picture? Is that all the evidence we have?

I do feel some disappointment that Jake feels like he needs to do this every time he has some movie coming out, or a play or maybe just because it's awards season, or WTF ever. These "relationships" seem to follow a pattern. The discreetly leaked photos of them "secretly dating" then more shots of them doing their thing, taking a walk, getting coffee, restaurants, etc.. Maybe a vacation or at least pictures of them in a foreign country, then after a prescribed period of time, the break up.

R235- I'm the opposite. I don't easily buy into the everyone is gay that flies around this forum. I still have no idea if JG is or not, but I believe the relationship with Reese was fake. She just got divorced and RP was running around with 20 year olds. She didn't want to look pathetic, like how the press painted Jennifer Aniston. So Jake would be a great choice to "date."

As far as Lily Rose Depp, how many girls her age say they're a lesbian or pansexual? I don't think anything can be based off that.

R253 Just go away frau. Or search the archives yourself.

Is this what they call “dating in Europe”?

Go away frau r255, too.

R258- Shut up you annoying, tedious moron troll.

R255 As far as Lily Rose Depp, how many girls her age say they're a lesbian or pansexual?

She didn't say it she was outed

Actually, I don’t think searching the archives will help the fraus. The best, juiciest Jake threads 🧵 were from between 2005 and 2008, and those are gone forever. I have some saved somewhere but I can’t be bothered to check my old drives just to satiate a herd of fraus.

I think he's gay because non of his public relationships seems real

Jake still looks fuckable in his new movie

If he was out now we were talking about his filmography and his work instead of his sexuality and who he's fucking

R262, no, you’re just delusional man

His new movie looks good. Our Jakey doin' a horror movie, so trendy!

He does look better post nose job. His original nose was too wide.

I have never found him anything other than highly desirable. He's been one of my favorite actors for years.

R265 If not which ones were real?

R266 Toni Collette is in Velvet Buzzsaw too

The new movie looks good. Jake is really aging, though.

[quote]Jake is really aging, though.

No, r271. He wasn't going to stay "Arena Homme Plus" age forever.

He's aging like shit as is Chris Pine.

R240, you are female, aren’t you?

R249-R250, you can pretend to speak with authority, but unless you're Reese or Jake, you deserve the same criticism that is hurled at people who deny it: You're guessing, based on publicity, in Jake's case, which has been suspect time and time again. The fact that you didn't know about it, R249, and therefore conclude it is low-key and real doesn't help your case.

Here's what we know. Jake and Reese supposedly met on the set of Rendition in 2007, right after her divorce when her career was in decline and when Brokeback (released wide at the end of 2005) left gay rumors swirling around Jake with the film deep in the public consciousness in 2006. As said above, the years after that were when rumours about Jake were the most intense. There's your perfect shitstorm that made bearding necessary for Jake and convenient for Reese. Keep her name in the press with the hot young thing, Jake. Rendiition, which was loaded with expensive talent and predicted to flop in production with the studio unhappy, indeed flopped Another reason to put your two stars together. And yet Jake and Reese – both who have been private before and since – were conveniently cuddling in public.

When it all fell apart, the publicists (mostly likely Jake's) claimed they were in love and that Jake really wanted to get married but Reese kept putting him off because she wasn't ready as of the end in 2009. And yet, in a matter of months Reese went public with the fact that she was actually with the man she would soon marry – a CAA agent and ext) and they were engaged the end of 2010 – They married in 2011.

Now you can believe all you want that Jake was not marriage material and that was the reason, but people I know in the industry at the time were saying that Reese was with Toth before 2010. CONCLUSION: She had to "dumo Jake" and end the bearding respectably. She had to wait to announce the real relationship so that she wouldn't come off as trash and Jake's bearding wouldn't be seen as fake. She didn't wait long, though....

This kind of thing has been going on in Hollywood for years, and it's clear that Jake has been at it a while. Try not to be so gullible.

Sorry, she HAD to *dump* Jake

God, Jake looks so adorkable in the trailer for Velvet Buzzaw – until it goes camp and he emotes.

They're billing it as a comedy, right?

Jake’s aging. The stress of living in the closet and getting old in Hollywood can cause tremendous stress. He’s very talented and I wish him lucks.

The closet AGES!

The FRAU Troll is getting redundant. He's already on IGNORE.

He does this in many threads. Everyone he doesn't agree with is a "frau". How original!

How old do you think this troll is, 10, 16, 25 or actually a mentally deranged older man?

How sad they can't afford their much needed meds! GET HELP indeed!

I’m not the frau troll, but those he targets never cop to being women...

Jake is so obviously gay I can't believe there's even a debate.

"There is nothing "unhinged" about wanting fraus demanding proof on a gossip forum to go away. Stop overreacting to a few exclamation points on a gay forum."

You obviously don't understand how totally insane you seem, ranting like a loon: "Fuck outta here fraus there's proof a d recipets being brought all the time and you fat greasy cow fraus ignore it. Fuck off and die." You really do seem totally off your rocker.

Aw, r282, I was going to do the "but ya are, Blanche" reply. Warms the cockles of my cock. Mwah.

I meant R281, but kisses to R282 as well.

Uh, R283, you are clearly confusing posters. I'm not R230. See if you can figure out how to tell.

You, however, are hijacking this thread with your defense.

[quote]you are female, aren’t you?

You are either a deeply disturbed closet case or a troll. Pick one, motherfucker.

There are very few straight women on DL. You are wasting your time complaining about straight women being here. I can see a lot of Right Wing Nazi assholes posting here since Trump's election.

The biggest joke are all the screeching queens here who complain about Lipstick Alley, yet these same losers re-post, verbatim, from that forum.

Why don't all you complainers go fuck yourselves!

And your IQ is obviously written in the waistband of your panties. What, 46?.......bitch...

"You, however, are hijacking this thread with your defense."

You must be confusing ME with another poster because I have not once "defended" anybody for anything on this thread. As far as I remember the only thing I said about Jake Gyllenhaal on this thread is that that dingdong Ted Casablancas used to call him "Toothy Tile" and out him frequently. I also said that I don't know what he is, gay or straight, but who cares anyway? I never understood Casablanca's fixation on him.

So this thread was fun. 😐

Fucking morons hijacked this thread. I can't believe people are still debating Jake's sexuality anyway. Even your Aunt Irene knows he's gay by now.

Blame the incessant "frau" TROLL for ruining this thread.

Yawn, I'm hardly a troll. And why are you defending the people that persist that it's wishful thinking when you mention an obvious gay man that's closeted that he is gay? He "dated" Taylor swift for sake, the most in demand beard in the business. Don't let the door hit you in your droopy cunt on your way back to gossip cop frau.

Let’s get to the bottom of this. Why are you fraus insist on coming here? A gay site that doesn’t welcome or want you. Don’t you have enough spaces as it is to indulge your GoodHouseKeeping type of interests as well as fantasize unmolested about your faves dreaming of domesticated bliss that we at DL know won’t be happening because many of these Hollywood types are actually gay, gay, gay? Why come to a site that so irreverently muddies your frau fantasies? I don’t get it.

FWIW, the black women at LSA are also complaining of an invasion of white women pretending to be black and urban, which leads me to believe that the life of a frau is even more dull and boring than we’d imagined.

r289 you’re defending yourself and making the thread about YOU.

If the ONLY thing about Jake was something about Ted C., you don’t know what his sexyality is and “who cares”, then WHY are you on this thread? No answer required except that you should’ve never posted or left if you don’t care. And yet you keep arguing about fraus and anyone who calls people that.

I say everyone just ignore this asshole and keep on topic.

I don't ignore posters, r295, just threads. And your incessant whining about this other poster is infinitely more annoying than anything he has to say. If I put this thread on ignore, it will be your fault, not his.

r296 back at you. That was my first post on this entire thread, fed up with the interruptions and bullshit over this issue as much as you.

But I hit ignore on those engaged in that side issue. So this is my last comment on that fight. If you ignore threads not posters, do what makes you happy.

Can we please keep this discussion on Jake?

Skarsgard is Nelly Fangs

I lost interest in Gyllenhaal and Alexander Skarsgard after I found out about them being closeted and their bearding antics I wouldn't care if they didn't beard but they do and I hate fake ass celebrities

I don't blame Jake or most of the other closeted actors who stay in the closet. Coming out does have a negative impact on their careers

I'll believe it when she has a baby that looks like Jake.

Better dead than bearded dude.

Bullshit, R300. He wouldn't have lost Brokeback for being gay. Look at the list of his most successful, critical successes (almost all of them small scale art films that have not made a lot of money). That seems to be the kind of respect that he's decided matters to him, after doing horrific flops. He raves about his brother-in-law (Peter Sarsgaard) as the best actor in the world and seems to think Sarsgaard has the ideal career. This year he had critical successes with Wildlife and the Sister Brothers. I have no idea someone wouldn't casts him because he's gay. Maybe he was cast because he was a name. But what film, pray tell, other than Brokeback has made him a star?

The real question is where would he be without Brokeback. Donnie Darko put him on the map but wouldn't have given him visibility, I don't think he's had any great chemistry with female leads and it's not because everyone's thinking "Brokeback". He just seems bland in a way he didn't in Brokeback, probably because the few films he's done about relationships aren't written well. I certainly don't think he'd have gotten bigger, better parts. He's more interesting because of it.

And for the record, Ben Whishaw has been in more blockbusters than Jake, thanks to Bond, but now Paddington and Mary Poppins Returns. Mary Poppins Returns by itself with openly gay Whishaw playing a hetero dad has already made $250 million. Jake's two films this year have grossed about $ 5 million.

Ben did better this year because he's a better actor. Period.

"If the ONLY thing about Jake was something about Ted C., you don’t know what his sexyality is and “who cares”, then WHY are you on this thread? No answer required except that you should’ve never posted or left if you don’t care. And yet you keep arguing about fraus and anyone who calls people that.

I say go fuck yourself up the ass, you pathetic shithead. An innocuous post on this thread has for some reason gotten your skid-marked panties in quite a knot. And why are YOU on this thread? Because you're l are obsessed with Jake Gyllenhaal's "sexyality", no doubt. You poor, poor thing.

R303, Ben is not the lead or the big name that headlines all those box office hits. His function is a character actor, not the romantic lead that draws the audience in like Jake Gyllenhaal or Daniel Craig. Mary Poppins Returns’ success did not turn on Ben Whishaw’s performance — any competent British actor could have played the dad. Emily Blunt was MARY POPPINS, she was the STAR.

Stop comparing Ben Whishaw to Jake Gyllenhaal. Apples and oranges.

I am a STAH!

r304 = Deranged. That poster your screaming about posted one thing and left days ago.

P.S. The whole post is about Jake's sexuality. You must have missed the memo.

As if Jake is the only closeted actor in showbiz! How about the closeted actresses?

This thread is ridiculous. .

I think because has those leading man good looks a lot of people in the industry as well as the public expected him to BE a leading man and take the familiar route in romantic comedies, etc, and he chose to be a character actor and appear in smaller movies. I think Bradley Cooper took his career. He takes himself too seriously. Very precious. he should have had some fun like Cooper, James Franco, Seth Rogan, etc. He should have hooked up with Apatow.

R309, Apotow is gay??!!

Totally agree, R309, but also think about, what career does Jake think he should have? Gosling's? Cooper's? They're pretty much the only two that emerged from the prior decade as having higher credibility for their acting that fit the hot-throb lead actor bill .

In the last decade or so, look at the possible other actors for comparison and ask what kind of careers they have?

One-time Oscar winner Adrian Brody and one time nominee Clive Owen, James Franco or Jesse Eisenberg? Two-time nominees Jeremy Renner and Jamie Foxx? What are they doing now that Jake isn't?

The hearthrob career? Robert Pattinson, Tayor Lautner, Channing Tatum, Zac Efron were oversold. Chris Evans, Chris Pine, Chris Hemsworth, etc. are mostly succeeding in superhero movies, though Pine was in Hell or High Water and Into the Woods.

Jake is a solid actor but not a great one. All of the marketing as straight in the world isn't going to change that.

does she fuck him with a strapon?

All you have to do is hear Jake Gyllenhaal speak to know he isn't straight. Jesus.

R300 I don't blame them for staying in closet it's their life and their choice but I blame them for bearding and lying.

Chris Hemsworth is gay.

R305 Blunt was the most boring part of Mary Poppins Returns both Mortimer and Whishaw were so much better than her and Miranda.

[quote] Ben did better this year because he's a better actor. Period.

I agree he's a phenomenal actor.

[quote] His function is a character actor

He's a character actor because he's out and proud unlike Flopbender and Flopgenhaal he isn't aloud to be lead because he's openly gay that's how homophobic Hollywood works.

If he was a closet case like Andrew Gayfield and Tammy Hardy he would be a bigger star.

R309

He really did. Look at what happened with Jake’s Bernstein project that fell through. Cooper took that from him and will probably score his FIFTH Oscar acting nomination. It’s unreal. Cooper knows how to play the game.

Cooper didn't "take" the Bernstein project away from Jake. He was developing it over a period of time, and got permission from Lenny's family to use his music. You don't line up Spielberg and Scorcese to partner up and executive produce a project overnight. So Bradley came to play.

Then we hear about another Bernstein project from Jake and Cary Fukunaga. I think the one Cooper is working on is a straight up biopic in the traditional sense, and Jake's has a different approach. But I'm not sure if Jake's is still going forward. Kinda hard to do a movie about a musician/composer without access to his music. Oh, well. These things do happen.

I remember when there were two Truman Capote movies, one with Philip Seymour Hoffman that focused on the writing of In Cold Blood, and the other one, Infamous, with Toby Jones that focused on a later period when he was ruining himself with the Ladies who Lunch. While Capote did better and was more famous, and Hoffman won his Oscar, Infamous was a damned good movie and Toby Jones did an excellent job.

*allowed

I see him banging Tom Hiddleston like a drum

r317, Whishaw was closeted. It didn't make him a bigger star. He's been more successful since he came out. So did Ian McKellen. Whishaw is not a character actor because he's an out gay man. He's a wispy, cute, soft-spoken sensitive actor now as he was then. Just like straight actor Rory Kinnear (who has a slightly smaller role in the Bond films) is a character actor because he's a balding man, attractive in his own way but not with "movie star" looks.

The problem with the Jakes of this world is that Hollywood didn't get the memo. Most "stars" are striving to be character actors. Few stars now exist that are opening "huge" films (mostly summer fare). Most of Jake's choices now are in that vein. He's now pushing 40. His Prince of Persia was not a flop but he didn't become a box office "star". See the above data. His films are opening weakly and he's doing more indie work, like he did in the beginning, and most of them are not financial successes.

Spider-Man will change that. But He's playing a villain in a role no bigger than Whishaw's in Mary Poppins. He didn't get Batman like he wanted. Closeting is not making the difference.

R322, Gyllenhaal wants that Oscar more than he wants to be a box office star.

It’s kind of like in law, there’s more prestige in winning constitutional challenges than there is in winning big bucks in personal injury lawsuits.

All the more reason being closeted makes no sense, R323. Ian McKellen has been nominated more than Jake. Being closeted clearly isn't helping Jake.

I don't think he is gay. Gyllenhaal is obviously desperate for an oscar, he will never win one though.

R324, McKellan was OLD when he was nominated.

Irrelevant, R326. He was an Oscar contender. So was Nigel Hawthorne. The nominating committee endorsed what the consensus of critics said, as both were getting Oscar buzz. The point is that they weren't stricken for being gay. If you think there's some conspiracy against young gay men by the actors who nominate at the Academy from discouraging "stars" to come out, there's no basis for it. Actors nominate, not the studios, not the agents.

The only reason there are no young gay actors who aren't Oscar nominees is that Hollywood until the last ten years was driving most Oscar bait and young gay actors stayed in the closet out of cowardice. Indie film is now taking over almost completely. Jake has been in enough indie work with talk of Oscar nominations but his performances aren't getting top five recognition. In any year that critics rally his next "Nightcrawler"-type performance he can contend for on the basis of his acting. The only thing they might hold against him for coming out is lying.

R322 Shut up you are full of bs

Jake with boyfriend

Jake with boyfriend

Jake doing the Grace Jones pose was hilarious. His management tried to claim this was photoshopped because it was just TOO gay.

I wonder who the boyfriend is.

Hes too basic

That was a fake r331 as I recall

r328 keep clinging to the closet. That's the "bs".

Okay, now I see why we're getting this dating the model thing.

Jake's character in gay in Velvet Buzzsaw and may have a bedroom/sex scene. It's all about THE "Question". Message to the media: It's jus a role. He's dating a French model.

Totally agree, R336, that definitely makes "sense" from a Hollywood perspective. Pla a "gay" character Jake, his agents and publicists say, but if Jake and his team want to just avoid the question, get the publicity machine rolling before the release.

And thanks for the links, R329 - R330.

R335 You are the one defending the closet and homophobia in Hollywood not me and rating every closeted actor higher than out actors!

How long is Jeanne's contract with Jake? Couldn't he pick an older beard!

No one believes this relationship is real.

He beards until he wins Oscar I can even see him even marrying a beard and having surrogate kids he's that thirsty.

r335 you are confused. Maybe you directed your original comment to the wrong post. That or you have a reading problem.

The post you (assuming you're R328) claim is "bs" and now claiming is defending the closet is exactly the opposite. It begins by pointing out that Whishaw became MORE successful when he came out and was LESS successful when he was not. It concludes by saying the closet does not help careers.

Nothing you have shrieked about has proved to the contrary.

Okay, mea culpa, I fucked that up. That was directed at R338.

I'll clean it up. R338 / R328 see the post at R228. It says closeting doesn't help actors and Whishaw's career improved when he came out. Case closed.

I'm guessing that once Velvet Buzzsaw comes and goes, that will be it for the model. Usually once Jake starts working he "dumps" them. I remember reading about this before. He was "dating" some other model for a while a few years ago, all out in public, then he started working on some movie and "had no time" for her and they broke up. That's the typical pattern. He's getting ready to do a play soon with Tom Sturridge and I'm betting that's when the fake relationship will end.

[quote]He's getting ready to do a play soon with Tom Sturridge

And getting ready to play with Tom Sturridge. That's something I'd like to see.

I have to say, Jake looks good here.

Also looking good in the trailer. This will give him his box-office hit for the year, but probably why the studios / agents thought, this is for the comic book fans, let's not piss them off with a gay(ish) villain, forget that Ian McKellen successfully played Magneto for years...

Good for him. A play at the Public, a villain in a likely blockbuster, and doing arty work. NONE of which seems to require the closet, but we'll get back to that I'm sure. A few observations on the interview.

1) I still hate his hair. He looks so much better with it short. It looks thick but I wonder if he has a bald patch somewhere and he thinks growing it long and pulling it back hides it? It just looks greasy and gross and elongates his head. Why does he think this is attractive? Look at him as Mysterio in the pick below. Even with that cut he looks better than he does with the slicked back goon look.

2) I love how Jake and Tom Holland may be the best known actors with high-pitched voices and are going to face off in the same movie. I actually think on Jake it's almost endearing that it never drops below a certain register and get really really high. I'd still fuck him.

3) It's pretty clear he's a nerd. He's working hard at the talk show appearance and trying to come off as witty, trying to land jokes awkwardly and keep bits going. There's the awkward giggle face. He's good at telling stories, though.

Personally I think if he cut his hair, cleaned up, and came out he'd be a lot cuter.

I'm with you on the hair. Not a good look. He's got a big, lumpy forehead and long ears. Sweeping it back like that just says, "look at my weird head"!

I don't know how much of his whole look is an act, but it's like he's been told "Go Cro-magnon! You'll look butch!" (Or he tells himself in that mirror with that voice not realizing straight men don't say "butch"). He's clearly had plastic surgery but it's almost like he's defensively unkempt. The eyebrows need contouring. The beard (I mean the hair on the face) is trendy, I guess, but it ages him, especially since he's wrinkling a lot for someone who just turned 38.

Okay, enough queening out for the day.

[quote] but probably why the studios / agents thought, this is for the comic book fans, let's not piss them off with a gay(ish) villain

I don't think there's a lot of overlap between homophobic comic book fans and celebrity gossip fans. Most consumers of tv shows/movies don't know or care about the personal lives of the actors.

Agree. I think this is homophobic worried-about-the-bottom-line studios and agents that think this way. See the new Star Trek, where the fanboys flipped out over the gay characters but it's brought in new audience and kept lots of the old ones.

The beard (on his face) is never a good look on Jake. Scruff is fine, but not this full beard.

He doesn't look like he's had any work done.

Different pictures suggest otherwise.

A slight nose job, but nothing recent.

So yes, R354, he's had plastic surgery.

But nothing recent as was implied r355.

I like Jakey. Who gives a fuck if he's had plastic surgery? He looks just delightful.

Oh Jakey, just get hip to yourself, girl! Does it all have to be so PAINFUL??????

R356, what is wrong with you? The comment was made that he had plastic surgery. Period. You're right, no one said it was recent, so what are you arguing about?

R357, he doesn't look delightful to everyone. His styling is shit.

r359 = Imma Kunt

I definitely prefer Jake without the beard!

You can tell he's gay from outer space, I can't believe people are wondering if he's gay or not.

"They're billing it as a comedy, right?" Thank you, r277!

I watched that trailer for "Velvet Buzzsaw" and I laughed out loud all through it in a good way. I didn't know I was in the mood for a well written satirical comedy until I watched it.

But then I went to you tube to watch reaction videos and it's being accepted as a straight-up horror film.

Wtf?

Apparently queerty got it wrong and in velvet buzzsaw his character is bisexual, not gay and there is no gay sex scene?? I wanna know !

R362, you’re delusional

I think Jake fucks with his hair to look older or younger. If his hair is shorter and he has no beard he looks like he's in his early 20's. He has the aging Lothario /Gigolo look ging for him when he has the longer greasy hair and beard. I don't like it.

r365 you're an idiot.

R341 Whishaw became MORE successful when he came out and was LESS successful when he was not.

Wrong statement he's been always successful in theater and TV but in cinema after his coming out he hasn't been in any notable roles except this year's Mary Poppins and maybe Lobster. Paddington doesn't count because you can't see his face in the film and he was cast as Q before he came out.

You like to defend and rate closeted actors higher than out actors and that's visible in your posts.

[quote] He's a wispy, soft-spoken sensitive actor

I also see homophobia in some of your posts do you describe closeted actors like this? No

r368, you are incoherent and wrong wrong wrong.

I can't tell in you're first sentence if you're quoting me or agreeing with me. Compare your first line with mine in R322 ("Whishaw was closeted. It didn't make him a bigger star. He's been more successful since he came out. So did Ian McKellen.")

YOU say he hasn't been in notable roles after coming out? FALSE. He has been a regular in the Bond films as Q, was cast in The Danish Girl, and in Mary Poppins. ALL bigger films after he came out in 2012.

You then claim I "like to defend closeted actors". FALSE. As I just quoted, I have said Whishaw and McKellen have done better since they came out. I have criticized Jake for being closet. I am NOT defending closeted actors.

Finally, you claim I am homophobic by saying he's wispy and soft-spoken. YOU are homophobic if you think so. I think femme boys like Whishaw are sexy.

You have a reading problem and don't know what you're talking about.

r56, I was just thinking of Toothy Tile!

fake dating/bearding

Whishaw was cast as Q before he came out.

No one has posted otherwise. And they didn't recast him, did they, R372? No, they only gave Whishaw a BIGGER part and made him the only Q in years to have a true supporting role and part of the action up until the very end. The point made, which some people around here keep missing, is that coming out (a) did NOT hurt his career, but (b) he's been accepted and continued to get work, including in Blockbusters.

And it's amazing how everyone will say McKellen was old therefore he didn't count. He came out in 1988 and was cast as Gandalf and Magneto long after that.

You Will Not Mispronounce the Word Melancholy in Front of Jake Gyllenhaal!

muh-LAHN-cuh-lee'? That's fuh-BYOO-lus.

lol r374 leave it to the queen to immediately correct someone's English. Jake would fit right in on DL.

Off-topic but, based on the trailer, how did you guys perceive "Velvet Buzzsaw"?

The deliberately hammy acting of Gyllenhaal, the "scary" scenes and the ending joke had me laughing in a good way, with it, not at it.

I saw a straight up satirical comedy.

I'm curious, did you see a serious horror film or a satirical comedy? Both?

"VELVET BUZZSAW is my fav movie of #Sundance so far. how can one movie give me that many good lines, Jake Gyllenhaal’ bare ass, gays, AIRPODS AS A PLOT DEVICE, and toni collette in a party city wig all at the SAME TIME."

I'll take, r378, as BV is a comedy.

Gyllenhaal, meanwhile — when he’s not busy destroying the careers of young artists — has his hands full juggling relationships with both male and female lovers, making this his first portrayal of an LGBTQ character since his Oscar-nominated role in “Brokeback Mountain.”

Gyllenhaal’s character is not remotely heroic, but the film’s writer-director, Dan Gilroy, believes it to be a positive portrayal nonetheless. “I hope so,” he told Variety. “I’ll tell you what the genesis was: I wrote the character because I believe that sexuality is far more fluid than society does. As we were starting to define this character, Quincy Jones came out and gave an interview about Marlon Brando having an affair with Richard Pryor. Thank you, God! What a beautiful image that is.

So we started to play with the idea that here is this archetypal male who was a sensualist, and we started to define [Gyllenhaal’s character] as somebody who is in touch with all his senses. And look, person-based attraction can override a lot — you can be attracted to people regardless of gender. If we got over the hang up that gender roles are cemented — and embrace the idea that we all have a fluid sexuality — that’s what I’m trying to say with this character.”

[quote]making this his first portrayal of an LGBTQ character since his Oscar-nominated role in “Brokeback Mountain.”

He's not playing a lesbian, trans or whateverthefuck "Q" is supposed to mean this week. He's playing a character who is either gay or bi.

Jake has never played an LGBTQ character. Those are five discrete things. He was only G in BBM, B if you count his marriage to A with an E.

R380 "Quincy Jones came out and gave an interview about Marlon Brando having an affair with Richard Pryor. Thank you, God! What a beautiful image that is."

It really isn't:

Jake looks so delicious here

Better link with less than great butt shots.

butt in motion

Yum.

R373 Shut up just a look at his acting credits in films before and after his coming out shows you are wrong.

Fear and Loathing and Fine Art in ‘Velvet Buzzsaw’

Can we please stop with this racial diversity pushing! Just because you want to make a character bi, that doesn’t mean you make him attracted to a different race. Why couldn’t he have been paired up with a white guy?

Kick rocks r389

Is Dan Gilroy bisexual? Or is that yet more bullshit to sell his new film? Dan is married to Rene Russo, former gorgeous super model now an attractive older actress, who he puts in his films.

Wow, how did ugly scrawny Dan score Rene!? I'm a gay man and I even think Rene is super hot!

Young Rene in her super model days.

Bitch stole my act.

[quote]As far as I remember the only thing I said about Jake Gyllenhaal on this thread is that that dingdong Ted Casablancas used to call him "Toothy Tile" and out him frequently.

Let's make this clear, as an old timer here on Datalounge, there were rumors and accounts about him before "Toothy Tile" was ever typed on a keyboard from as far back as his brief stint at Columbia. Datalounge was on it.

And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going

pile

He's adorable in this ....

..but sometimes when I look at him with the big eyes and that hinged jaw I see this

.... I meant this...

Jake's Valentine

I'm all for sexual fluidity, but people should stop talking about it as if it is a potential we all share Most people have a distinct preference.

Most but a sizable minority are fluid or just bi

1%? 2%?

Jake outside the Public Theater yesterday (21/02)

Chemistry

She’s almost half his age?

#classy

R406, so what? You seem jealous.,

Will Jake ever find the right girl? He must be very picky, because he's nearly 40 and the search for Miss Right is still going on.

Chemistry

R4, it's worse because Leo for a long-time looked very baby-faced which helped to visually blur the age discrepancy. But Jake, at only 38, looks very droopy and prematurely middle-aged.

[post redacted because independent.co.uk thinks that links to their ridiculous rag are a bad thing. Somebody might want to tell them how the internet works. Or not. We don't really care. They do suck though. Our advice is that you should not click on the link and whatever you do, don't read their truly terrible articles.]

Losing Heath drove Jake mad and made him seek out vag.

I think he's aged really well. he is a genuinely handsome man, and doesn't look like anyone else. And he has the greatest smile.

Chemistry

^LOL!

Real chemistry.

^ not chemistry.....commonality

Hasn't he been "pretty serious" with every woman he's been "with?" Yet he remains single. I guess he just hasn't met the right girl yet (snort).

Given the example of his parents' divorce and bankruptcy proceedings, Jake has no desire to get married. We don't know. I mean, I LOVE thinking he prefers pole, but we don't KNOW.

And that pic w/Tom Cruise is just vile.

Why is it vile?

Because Tom Cruise looks awful. Plasticky. Vile.

He looks great

I wonder if the dinner was delicious?

Bae

What a fraud he is. This guy Austin Nichols had this to say right after he jumped right back into the closet: Nichols said in one interview, "I've learned a ton from Jake. He's a really sharp guy. He told me everything about acting, the business, girls, life."

R14 because he is closeted and thinks coming out would ruin his career. I agree with you, I mean it is 2019 and even that former closet queen Anderson Cooper, who for decades was ashamed to say how he is gay, is out.

jakedong

R412 Jake is part of the closet crew that includes Leo, Vin, Revolta, Tammy, Hugh, George, Bradley, Brad, and Tobey.

I’m reading Bret Easton Ellis’s new book WHITE, in which he mentions hooking up with some of the actors in the movie the Informers. Austin Nichols was in The Informers.

Did Ellis hook up with Austin Nichols?

r426 Cooper was never deeply closeted, give it up.

R410 is he fudging his age or am I from a different timeline? Because I could swear that earlier in his career (like, Darko-era) his bio stated that he was born in '78 and not '81...

R401 and R402 a lot of people are bisexual as I am but that does not mean most people are, or that people cannot be gay or hetero. I have gay men,as friends who told me how as teens or young adults they had sex with women because they were either closeted and did not want to be gay, or wanted to have sex with men but had no idea how to meet them in the 1970s, and sex with women just showed them how they are gay and not sexually attracted to women at all.

R429 I would take anything Ellis claims with a grain of salt. He is a narcissist and who would actually want to sleep with his ugly drugged out ass?

R430 oh yes he was. All through the 1980s, 1990s, and very early 2000s-were you even alive or paying attention during these decades. Anderson Cooper finally came out publicly in 2012, which is pathetic.

R431 I also remember that. Zosia Mamet's husband Evan did the same thing. He is 36 but for awhile they tried to claim he was 33 or 32.

Another actor with couple decades younger women. Color me surprised. So none of them actually seek someone they can have a cool conversation with? Hollywood is so shallow

Hard to believe he’s only 38. I would have guessed 48, but ok.

R435 a lot of actors and celebrities are narcissistic and emotionally immature. Rock stars as well are like this, such as the type that marry much younger groupies.

I love him

Best Friend Day

439 best friend..more like best lay!!!

So sad

Why?

Jake responded to this:

tom holland, 23 years old, licked jake gyllenhaal’s hand

So when did Jake ditch this beard? The last I checked he had an obvious boyfriend that he was going around NYC with...

Jake singing Hugh's praises.

R442 because Jake G. is living a lie and trapped in the gilded cage of celebrity and fame? It is his life but most LGBT people are much happier when we are out.

R446, we all have to "take responsibility," Hugh? Why don't YOU START by coming out of the fucking closet already!! And take Jake with you!!

I knew he'd find the right girl if he just looked hard enough! No pun, gays!

If he's trapped in a gilded cage of celebrity and fame he's in that coach part where you can't take on luggage. Time switch airlines. There's nothing to lose.

The most 'shocking' news here is that Jake is still in his 30s! I thought he was already in his 40s! At least 42-43.

Very sweet couple.

Lol those pictures were getting heavy rotation last night. People are desperate to find the new Brandon/Richard.

Last night's big relationship news.

R456 Why?

So hot

R48 Conveniently separated by an ocean just like Nick and Potranka, who got married just in December of that same year

Looks like Toothy has yet to scrub his tiles!
