Jake Gyllenhaal is a cunt at SoulCycle, apparently

There's no juice to that paragraph, just sweat.

How can one person get an entire lounge "all sweaty"?

I'm thinking pretty much everyone a SoulCycle is a cunt.

Even the bikes are cunts.

I would bottle up all that sweat and sell it for profit.

Why cant he just buy a peloton then

I've heard he has poor hygiene and he smells.

None of the above surprises me one little bit.

He's into sweaters.

Jake gossip thread. He's kind of a dick.

Isn't he just some spoiled rich kid from LA?

[quote]He is actually a huge diva to work with. If he doesn't like you (for whatever reason he can think of), he is an absolute nightmare. oh wasn't there a twitter thread about this? how he was demanding in theatre and got random people fired at will?

Amateur!

Honestly that stuff in OP's link doesn't seem that outrageous - him going to SoulCycle was a constant NYC gossip thing, enough that my lazy ass considered going there to stalk him, and he probably got constantly pestered by people less lazy than me. I can only imagine all the gays lurking in the locker-room waiting to eyeball his business

R5 And I'd gladly buy from you!

Were gay men into him before Brokeback? He has character actor looks.

[quote]Were gay men into him before Brokeback?

Since 2001 or so, whenever he was Arena + Homme.

Just because you're a good [insert profession here] doesn't mean you're a good person.

I'm surprised they let Jake Gyllenhaal get away with this kind of behavior. He's a famous actor but I wouldn't classify him as a superstar. I don't have any sympathy for the employees because they should have drawn a line and refused to allow him into the employee area. They sound spineless.

People are asshats, so most of this described behavior seems reasonable to avoid the inappropriate and unwanted attention that likely is desperately thrown his way. He could’ve been better about not leaving a mess in the employee area tho

Remember Toothy Tile? I think the consensus at the time was that Jake was Toothy, but no one could ever figure out Ted’s reference - why “Toothy Tile”?

why didn't they just tell him to get out of the lounge?

That would be like telling Bai Ling to get off the roof. Pointless.

Be..be...be..because h..h..he is a star, R21.

[bold]A STAR![/bold]

Why does DL worship these men? Outside of their celebrity, they are always putrid people.

He was an asshole to my boyfriend when they worked together for a day, and my bf now refuses to watch any movie with Jake in it. Which is a shame because he’s the lead in Zodiac, one of my top 5 all-time favorites, and Nightcrawler is great, too.

Details, r25?

I don’t want to be too specific, R26, but my boyfriend was trying to JG to do something for this thing they were working on. A “hey, why don’t we try it like this?” type of suggestion for the job at hand, and Jake refused and started talking to my boyfriend in a exaggerated gay voice, and then walked away from my boyfriend and kept talking to other people in the exaggerated gay voice.

My boyfriend is gay, of course, but he isn’t remotely effeminate and doesn’t have even a hint of gay voice, so I don’t know what was up with that. My boyfriend, in telling this story, always refers to Jake as being homophobic. I don’t know if it counts as homophobia, because Jake is obviously gay, but whatever.

Left out a word here:

*trying to get JG to do something

Did your boyfriend give Jake a line reading?

O, please. Fuck off, OP. He's a huge celebrity. Why should he interact with the commoner scum.

I don't begrudge him wanting to avoid the public but... why not build a home gym? He can just jog in public.

No, nothing like that. R29. This was extracurricular. Nothing to do with the job of acting.

[quote]He is actually a huge diva to work with. If he doesn't like you (for whatever reason he can think of), he is an absolute nightmare. oh wasn't there a twitter thread about this? how he was demanding in theatre and got random people fired at will?

He can be an asshole but he can also be very nice. The problem is you never know what you're going to get on any given day. I have stories of my own and yeah, you don't want to be on his bad side but what's missing that I can contribute is, you may never know what side that is. That's what makes him tricky to deal with.

Beyond that, there are plenty of stories out there about him from people who'd know. Maybe take a trip back in time and find out what happened between him and his brother-in-law on Jarhead. That one he has actually admitted. He also mentioned being mean to Maggie on the set of Donnie Darko. Then there are plenty of stories from Nailed or (Accidental Love) as it seems to be called now .... and on and on.

That being said, I don't see anything bad about this. He has a right not to talk if he doesn't want to as long as he doesn't swear at employees or belittle them. Yeah, I also understand why he wanted to avoid the public.

[quote] why not build a home gym? He can just jog in public.

SoulCycle is best as an in person group experience. It's a way of life for these people.

Oh... perhaps I misread the OP. I thought he was working out in the staff area.

[quote]Why does DL worship these men? Outside of their celebrity, they are always putrid people.

That is absolutely true of many celebrities. If they weren't famous, they would be called out for being anti-social assholes and nobody would give them the time of day.

Wow, r27. That was really obnoxious and uncalled for.

[quote]Maybe take a trip back in time and find out what happened between him and his brother-in-law on Jarhead.

Or you could just tell us

I'm not sure why filthy rich celebs ever go to gyms. Couldn't you build your own private one?

R38 But then they can't be an asshole and demand special treatment and attention.

R27 Sounds like Jake for just showing his inner gay self without even realising it.

Every human being has issues. Actors, and celebrities in general, are no different. It's just most of us are vapid starfuckers who care way too much about celebrity culture.

Gyllenhaal is a cunt? He should know better and feed the poor like the rest of us!

I heard Justin Bieber was a huge douche at Barry's Bootcamp in LA.

[Quote] Sounds like Jake for just showing his inner gay self without even realising it.

No it doesn't. Not remotely. It sounds like Gyllenhaal was aggrieved and decided to take the gay source of that ire down a peg or two by acting as if the gay man sounded/was being "ridiculous." Henry Cavill did something similar on camera with a gay fan.

Has Jake ever been married...to a woman? Any hetero romance in the last 15 years? Things that make you go hmmmmm....

Not married doesn't automatically mean gay. Some people, no matter the orientation, are simply not interested in marriage.

He apparently gave up with the bearding some time ago.

"Soul addict"??

WTF is that?

Sounds pretentious as fuck.

SoulCycle addict. It's a thing.

He sounded like a dick in his recent Marc Maron interview.

R49 details please? I believe you and want to know more. I don't want to sit through the actual podcast.

So the “tea” is just that Jake doesn’t want to be everyone’s friend

[quote]Or you could just tell us

He beat up his co-star Brian Geraghty because he accidentally caused "himself" to chip a tooth when he rammed a gun Brian was holding into his own mouth. Jake wouldn't apologize until the director wrote it into the script. He also pissed off Maggie's husband so bad that they got into a fight when they were living together during the production.

A physical fight?

He looked roided up in Jarhead, so the rage tracks.

You sad fucks believe Deuxmoi now? They'll post anything sent to them. I sent a submission about seeing Froylard and Madden walking a dog on Hampstead Heath and they published it.

I don't believe anything unkind about my dear Jakey.

I can believe that he can be stand-offish and surly, he has that kind of vibe that if he doesn't like you, he will not do anything to hide it.

Only really found him sexy in Prince of Persia tbh, probably based on his body too as his face has never really appealed.

You know, Jake could play the Aaron Rogers biopic. Same kind of face.
