Jake Gyllenhaal: His Best Hair?

December 2nd, 2009 by Karen 34 Comments

jake-gyllenhall-his-best-hair

Dear Jake,

Did you get the card I sent for turkey day (gobble gobble!)? I hope so. 🙂 Yours still hasn’t arrived, but I’m sure it’s on its way. The Post Office has been busy as of late…

I was surprised to read about you and Reese. Thank goodness the rumors were untrue, but I’m here if you ever need a shoulder.

Yours always,

Karen

In my frantic search to corroborate the breakup rumors, I couldn’t help but notice the breadth of Jake’s hairstyles over the years. He makes bangs look so very fetching!

If/when I earn that spot on Jeopardy! and “Jake Gyllenhaal’s hair” comes up as a topic, I think I’ll be prepared.

Jakeypoo factoids

  • Born Jacob Benjamin Gyllenhaal in Los Angeles (December 19, 1980)
  • Family has deep Hollywood ties. Dad’s a director, Mom’s a screenwriter, and big sis Maggie’s a star.
  • Enjoys woodworking and cooking
  • Acting debut was in the 1991 film City Slickers
  • Graduated from high school in 1998 and then went on to attend Columbia University, studying Eastern religions and Philosophy; dropped out to pursue film career.
  • Feature films include Brokeback Mountain, The Day After Tomorrow, Donnie Darko (my JG fave!) and more

P.S. Jake, I know you’re busy, but before I go, may I ask a favor? I’ve noticed you’ve been growing out your hair for Prince of Persia (due out next spring). Please, please condition at least once/week. Split ends = not cute. 🙂

Which of Jake's hairstyles do you like best?

      A few years back I bought my brother a “Sparkle Motion” t-shirt for Christmas. I earned some serious cool big sister points that year…

      I know! I wonder sometimes if he’s wearing clear mascara… he has some seriously fab lashes.

    I’m sad that his hair can accurately be described with the word “bangs.” I know it’s a technical term, but… it sounds sad on a man. “Fringe” wouldn’t be an improvement, so I guess we’re stuck.

      Hmm, how about crop? It’s more masculine, but truth be told I kinda hate using it as a noun…

    Karen! Thank you for that Jakey collage, it made my Hump Day that much more…humpier! Heh heh. I can’t wait for the “Brothers” movie because I have crushes on Jakey, Tobey, and Natalie Portman!

    haha you’re funny, Karen. I love everything except 2 and 3. But I’m sure when I see Prince of Persia, I’d end up loving 3 as well.

    Doesn’t he have the most wonderful eyes? *sigh*

    I voted for number 6, but number 4 was close! I’ve loved Jake for a long time. He’s such a good actor and easy on the eyes,too. He’ll have a long career, no doubt and he seems like he would make a good boyfriend. 🙂

    Hands down, number 6! He’s adorably cute! But then, sometimes he looks just like my cousin, and that freaks me out!

    And LOL, #2, he is like 15!! XD

    He’s so pretty. I actually like the one with the “elvin sideburns” (though I think that’s not an accurate description!). I think it’s the best hair length for him. Not too short, not too long.

      LOL, so it’s not the technical term. But can’t you see an elf rockin’ the same cut?

    I hope that they don’t break up. They are a cute couple. But I liked Jen & Brad together as well.

    Um…so you knew it was by birfday today by rewarding me with a Jake Gyllenhaal post, didn’t you?!?!?!?

    I’m a sucker for the Jarhead look, so I picked #1. Or maybe that’s just my enjoyment of the “two santa hats and not much else” scene in that movie. Have to admit that’s probably part of it. Yeeesh. 🙂

      I have a random and useless fact for you: the guy who wrote Jarhead went to my alma mater. Exciting stuff, I know, LOL!

      A big plus with buzz cuts is you don’t have to worry about your man using too much of your expensive shampoo/conditioner!

    I heart Jake G. and his sister Maggie. My vote went with number 6-he just doesn’t need all of that hair to distract from his striking mug. Lucky Reese first she had Ryan P. and now Jake G.
