These are some new photos of Jake Gyllenhaal in Madrid today, promoting Source Code and working his butchest stubble. I do have to say – Jake is a good looking guy. He’s not my type or anything, but I see the appeal for some ladies. He’s actually the kind of guy my mother would pick for me – she loves “young men” like this – classically handsome, kind of vanilla, giving off a slightly metrosexual/gay vibe. You know she loves these days? Nathan Fillion! She constantly refers to him as “my kind of man.” Anyhoodle…
Jake is shilling in Europe because Source Code needs to make some money and Jake needs to be seen as a convincing leading man, domestically and internationally. Source Code came in second place last weekend, behind Hop, and I’ll bet the studio is hoping that Europe and Asia can support this film. But will Jake ever really be seen as a convincing leading man, in the style of… like, Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise (back in the day)? I don’t know. To get that kind of image, Jake is definitely going to have to butch it up even more. No more apple-cider-soaked cuddlefests with Taylor Swift. No more barely-legal wispy blondes. Jake needs a woman. Unfortunately, the boy has a type, as E! news reports that he was just seen out on a date with a young woman who “looked like a cross between Rachel McAdams and Taylor Swift.” Oh, Jake.
Despite his ex Reese Witherspoon putting a ring on it last weekend, Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t crying into an order of cheese fries. He’s strong.
Gyllenhaal was spotted at trendy Locande Verde restaurant in Tribeca this weekend having brunch with a mystery blonde who, according to our fellow-munching spy, “looked like a cross between Rachel McAdams and Taylor Swift.” Jake sure does love those blondes! Or, at least, pretends to…
“Jake was in a dark-blue pullover and jeans, and the girl was wearing a ruffled blouse and jeans,” adds our source. “It was a casual meeting in the back corner booth. They were laughing and enjoying each other’s company.”
We saw the accompanying cell-phone pic, which was really too grainy to publish. But one thing was crystal clear about Jake’s mood: That guy gives animated private-booth face. Dude was workin’ it for the blondie babe, for sure.

Ugh. This is not helping! Whether or not Jake likes man-meat, it’s pretty clear that for the foreseeable future, we are stuck with Straight Jake. So if we’re being sold Straight Jake, Jake the Leading Man, Jake the Romantic, Jake the Butch, can we please get some better quality stuff to work with? If Jake has another Swift-esque catastrophe, his career will seriously take a hit. He needs to stop with these wispy little blondes and butch it up with a busty brunette bitch. Off the top of my head… Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr. See, if you put him with a girl that looks like that, it would be difficult to convince people that he wasn’t screwing her.
Also, is it just me or is Jake’s bulge… odd? I think he might have stuffed.
