Playing dress up



Jake Gyllenhaal attended the Costume Institute Gala, aka the Met Ball, last night. Here he is with Marcus Mumford, leaving before the clock struck midnight and he was forced back into those green cargo pants.

Of course, the photo doesn't actually show his trousers...



Phew!






Jake was decidedly dressed down at the Lucille Lortel Awards on Sunday. He got to present the Featured Actress Award to his If There Is costar, Annie Funke:




He also took a photo with the very excited members of a dance troupe that performed at the awards:



From Facebook:

Enjoyed dancing with these talented dancers and checking Jake Gyllenhaal of my "sexy people I want to.meet" Bucket list. You can't see but my arm is wrapped around his leg like a snake. Specifically like a boa constrictor or any other animal tgat grabs on a little too tight.

Oh Jake Gyllenhaal looks so handsome that even the guy next to him can't stand it! #holyhotness http://twitpic.com/cp0u8l

Scott said...

lol. Poor Marcus, the pic does beg for many captions though.

Like "Oh no, not another actor who thinks his intellectual"

Or

" Shut up Jake, I have a headache".

Jake is so dashing at Costume Institute Gala

From an article about the whirlwind of Great Gatsby events:

Early last Thursday morning, Leonardo DiCaprio was sitting in the basement of The Darby as a long line of girls came toward him carrying bursting bottles of champagne affixed with firecrackers. Jay-Z held court in a corner booth. Tobey Maguire danced on a banquette. And Mr. DiCaprio—Jay Gatsby—looked on with a smile. The pitch of the screams swung higher as fiery droplets of bubbly got closer to the movie star.

“Do you come to these parties often?” asked my companion, her lips at my ear.

Jay-Z was now bouncing to “Who Gon Stop Me,” as Jake Gyllenhaal and Florence Welch rapped along, standing on a table, towering above Carey Mulligan, Tom Hardy, Jamie Foxx and other Hollywood royalty.

UltraViolet said...

Jake does look very dashing. I didn't expect to see pictures of hi from the Met Ball, at all, let alone to have him look so good!

And I should have done some captions for Marcus. His expression is hilarious.

UltraViolet said...

Looks like some or all of tomorrow's poetry event will be streamed.

Extra said...

These photos are scresming.for captions , too funny! He really looks good here, much better than thst get up he wore at the Lorel awards.

bobbyanna said...

Great photos, UV, you always find the best stuff! ; )

I'm glad to know the Poetry event will be live-streamed, too.

I hope more pictures surface from the Gala & the After Party, and hopefully some of the other events.

The idea of Jake and Florence Welch rappin while Jay Z stands on a table performing sounds like a fun time.

Jake seems to have gotten caught up in the Gatsby excitement, and that's great.

From the little we can observe about his life in NYC, I think he is thriving there. I'm glad he left L.A. (Plus they don't tweet very well...: ) )

As I'm stuffing my face with my bologna sandwich in the park, I look up to see Jake Gyllenhaal. Jesus I love NYC.

Anonymous said...

He looks good. I'm just not into the slicked back hair look and I wish he'd stop smoking. But it's his life, I hope he'll decide to quit.

I look forward to seeing Prisoners I wonder if he'll be doing the Film Festivals

Passed Jake Gyllenhaal on my way into work this morning. Is this a good or bad sign for the day? Discuss.

It depends. Did you sucker punch him?
I did not. He had such a massive beard it seemed it would simply cushion the blow. He appears to be adapting.

I saw the reading on youtube live, that grey spot is annoying.

UltraViolet said...

Did you have any opinion on the poem? I caught only the tail end as google+ would not allow me to play it on my phone and I didn't realize there was a youtube stream until too late.

I liked the bit I heard.

Scott said...

Well I am a bit biased but it was a good poem and he did more than just read, he felt it.

The auctioner is very entertaining and kudos to Jake for the first $5000 need fulfilled.

UltraViolet said...

Thanks to Bobbyanna for finding the youtube link. You can watch the whole event. Hard to tell if they'll allow it to be ripped. But I did get to watch Jake's whole reading, and it was moving.

Here's the link.

UltraViolet said...

The auctioneer is too funny. "Do we got a 49?!"

FP said...

for some mysterious reason I can't see the video I trust of your judgment

FP said...

I have seen the video and wow! Jake has been inspired true intense and the hell of a great actor Who he is!

Chica said...

Wow, he was intense and powerful. I liked the poem, it envoked disturbing and painful images.

Thanks so much for the link UV.

Jake's not dating Emily. His rep dismissed that awhile ago. If they were dating, do you really think she would've gone to Taylor's concert last month?

here for jake said...

oh stop it, just stop it!

who cares who jake's dating?

we are here for jake gyllenhaal the actor, his movies, photos, appearances, not his dates.

Anonymous said...

She didn't go to the Met Gala either, but he did. He even went to the after party.

bobbyanna said...

8:52, this blog doesn't ignore the fact that Jake dates. We do try to be intelligent & respectful. If the Daily Mail is going to run a spread based on the fact this swimsuit model is dating Jake, and I believe this is the second time, then it's not unusual that someone would comment on it.

Yes, I also read that Jake's PR rep shot down the rumored romance. They probably did date at one time, but no longer.

LOL! Jake is stealthy. It seems that by the time the tabloids get hold of something it's old news, and he's moved on.

bobbyanna said...

" We do try to be intelligent & respectful"

I certainly can't speak for everyone, but UV has created a wonderful place to talk about Jake and various aspects of his life, and most of the people who post here are respectful and intelligent. : )

Anonymous said...

I think poster 8:52 is right and express a general feelling like I had enough of people dismissing all the rumors of Jake and his dates. It happens always on this blog. Always somebody come and say No, he's not dating X or Y. Pics from Met Costume Gala, War Poetry but no, somebody jumps He's not dating Emily. More important things are in Jake's life and career.

Hey, 8:52 & 10:16, nobody's forcing you to read this blog. Go start your own blog if you don't like it. You don't get to say what we are allowed to talk about.

I'm afraid there isn't. Recently Pathé deleted the release date for France (August 28th). That might indicate that the post production of "An Enemy" will take somewhat longer. ("Prisoners" has a very tight post production schedule until its release in September. I'm not sure if Denis Villeneuve has enough time to focus on "An Enemy" right now.)

BTW I hope we get some news on "Mississippi Grind" soon.

Lara said...

Hi everybody, I saw one Great Gatsby Review and said that DiCaprio and Carey Mulligan's "Chemistry Is Barely Detectable"...Mulligan, who reportedly beat the likes of Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson for the role, only succeeds in looking radiant in her sparkly Prada gowns and diamond-encrusted headbands. She fails to embody Daisy’s beguiling charm and sophistication, withering next to the reliably solid DiCaprio. In fact, DiCaprio doesn’t get to truly shine until the closing act when he breaks free from Mulligan and Maguire and goes for a swim in his backyard pool. And that moment is. . . fleeting.
For a movie that strives to be Great, it all feels just a little too average.
And I just saw another review from Daily mail that just say almost the same thing, the only thing that they agree is about the music that is great. I think i need to see and make my own conclusion.

OMG Jake Gyllenhaal just made us SWOON even more than usual!! We didn’t even think that was possible!

First off, the guy is beautiful, so that in itself is definitely swoon-worthy. Secondly, he READS POETRY, which by default should make anyone swoon. Thirdly, the man is caring, generous, and knows how to ease tensions in a crowd! Swoons all around!!

At the Headstrong Project's Words of War event in New York, Jake used his theatrically trained voice to recite Wilfred Owen’s Dulce et Decorum Est (which is a GREAT poem, btw) to the attendees there.

SO ADORBZ.

Now, as this was an event with the intention of raising money to help military vets who are in need of mental health care, there was also an auction portion of the event.

That’s when the event had one of those awkward moments where people were supposed to bid on stuff for charity, but nobody did.

Nobody, that is, UNTIL Jake Gyllenhaal stepped up to the plate and dropped 5 G’s in the name of psychotherapy for posttraumatic stress disorder!!

Way to go, Jakey!! Loves it! What a man!!

No they aren't. A tweet about really seeing Jake isn't "random."
Lots of tweets are a joke or just look alikes. Those are random.

Thank you Hagen, I will take this delay as a good sign.

Monica said...

I'll take it as a good sign if pathé take the film to Venice or Toronto.

Hagen said...

As it is a Canadian movie, I'm pretty confident that it will be shown at TIFF.

Scott said...

"I'll take it as a good sign if pathé take the film to Venice or Toronto."

Hope so but I worry that An Enemy will get eclipsed by Prisoners.

Scott said...

GG was pretty good, although I kept thinking they should of had Jake's audio for Tobey's narration.

But it won't matter, folks will still think Spiderman Jake did the movie GG.

bobbyanna said...

"...folks will still think Spiderman Jake did the movie GG."

LOL! I know. People are already thinking that. Then there are those who wish Jake had been Nick instead of Tobey.

I get to see it tomorrow with my film group.

UltraViolet said...

I'm seeing it tomorrow, too. I think we're going for 3D, but I hope it doesn't give me a headache. People always complain about that.

And LOL, Scott. A lot of people will definitely think it was Jake. And seeing how well it is doing this weekend makes me wish again that it was. Sigh.

Thanks for the news on An Enemy, Hagen. I hope we hear about an American release for it. I see that Ryan Gosling's directorial debut has already been sold before Cannes. Mississippi Grind is going to be peddled by the same company.

Bobbyanna, thanks for your answer yesterday to the "no dating talk" anon. Of course we talk about whom Jake is dating here. It's just not all or even most of what we talk about.

Here is just na exemple what Scott said:
Disheke Turner
Am I the only one that mistakes Jake Gyllenhaal for Toby Maguire?
Every time I Jake Gyllenhaal in a movie I'm like is he the one that played spiderman?!

I don´t believe this misunderstanding going to end, like never, everrrrrrrrrr.

Office of Nancy Pelosi said...

Love the photos and yes Jake looks like he has embraced N.Y. snd had bevome s true New Yorker!
GG has been getting mixed reviews, and i'm not really in a rush to see it. When I do it will probably be w/o 3D. To me its just a gimmick and a reason to add more money yo the tickket.

I never understood people mixing up Jake with Tobey , if anything Tobey loo a bit like Elijah Wood!

Lara, Chantal Lindsey is fake.

Thanks for the link from the scene of End of Watch. So cute.

bobbyanna said...

Well, I saw Gatsby and I liked it. There were definitely flaws and weaknesses, but the overall experience was very enjoyable. It was a Baz Lurman extravaganza, visually stunning. IMO It had an "Alice Through the Looking Glass" fantasy feel to it. I loved the soundtrack. It worked well with the movie. The film opens with Nick Carraway's voice narrating, and of course I kept hearing Jake's voice and it was irritating that it was Tobey and not Jake, but eventually I got used to Tobey being Nick.
