The British DVD release for End of Watch has brough some new treats. you might be wondering which partner is the better shot:



You can get a glimpse of some deleted scenes, introduced by Jake:





And a couple more links: Another deleted scene and an interview.

A few EoW straggler photos, on set and on promo duty:




Not sure if the British DVD has anything we didn't get on this side of the pond. Anyone out there have the UK version?

Smörgåsbord



Edited to add the above photo, just posted to IHJ, from a different and more appealing GQ shoot :)



Remember this old GQ photo spread? Jake's hair was apparently done by stylist April Barton of New York's Suite 303. Barton has posted a couple of "backstage" photos:




Taking a cue from that strange and, shall we say, eclectic shoot (to be nice), here's a hodgepodge of Jake photos that have cropped up in the last few weeks or so.

From the Di Palo's Fine Food instagram: "#jakegyllenhaal with our 5th generation! He is a big fan of our homemade eggplant parmigiana made daily in store #dipalos #dipalofinefoods thank you jake!"



Fan photo from Berlin last year:



At the Washington Nationals game, 2008:



From the Being John Malcovich premiere?



And some random tidbits from the interwebs. First, in a February GQ UK article about Idris Elba:

True to his lane-changing philosophy, he spent the previous night DJing, while tonight he's having dinner with Jake Gyllenhaal.

That's one table it would have been fun to see!

Soul and Fly impressions of Jake:

You know I’m going to find a SoulCycle in every city I am in, right? The best workout on the planet- and the most fun too. This 18th Street studio does not disappoint- and I’ve even sat beside Jake Gyllenhaal in it’s classes (no, seriously I have.. and he’s ripped)

Happy March! I was just in a Flywheel class with Jake Gyllenhaal, so I know it’s going to be a good month. And yes, he was gorgeous, sweaty and all.


And from Us:

Jake Gyllenhall rocking out next to Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora at a Maroon 5 concert in NYC.

Maroon 5 played Madison Square Garden on February 16.

And I thought this was cute. From the FB of a former Harvard Westlake teacher:

Thanks to Netflix we saw "End of Watch" with former student Jake Gyllenhaal and "The Master" with Juaquin Phoenix and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Jake was intense. I'm still not sure what I watched as far as "The Master," but Hoffman is wonderful in every role he plays.

Sweet charity

Business Week interviewed winners of celebrity charity auctions, including a woman who got to meet Jake Gyllenhaal:


Hang out backstage with Jake Gyllenhaal
Winner: Linda Boileau, political cartoonist at the State Journal, Lexington, Ky.
Site: Charitybuzz
Paid: Will not disclose


I’m a fan of Jake’s and was looking around online for what was going on with him. I knew he was doing a play, If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet, and came across Charitybuzz offering tickets to see it and do a meet-and-greet with him. I won, so they told me when I got to the theater I should call, and he’d come take me backstage. Jake was just wonderful. He’s so kind, not egotistical. I knew he had dogs, so I did a caricature of his dogs. He was really interested that I was a cartoonist. We went back to his dressing room and just talked, sat for about half an hour. We talked about his dogs and the play and Kentucky, where I’m from. He didn’t rush through anything. I didn’t ask him any personal questions—I didn’t want to seem goofy. I wasn’t thinking it would be hours of walking around the city or anything. He grew a really big beard for the play and had long hair, but he’s still a really nice-looking guy.

We saw the photo from the play in the fall, but it's nice to get the story behind the story.

In December, Jake participated in ICAP Charity Day:


2012 ICAP Charity Day by GyllenBabble

You can see him at about the 2'10" and 3'55" mark



In April, Jake is going to be honored for his work with Edible Schoolyard.




In November, Jake did a reading at a free performance for the military and their families:
