Jake Gyllenhaal is a Football Player
Jake Gyllenhaal will be playing Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Namath in a feature film, according to Variety.
Exec producer Jimmy Walsh believes that the ‘athletic Gyllenhaal is the right actor to play Namath.’
While other quarterbacks racked up bigger lifetime stats, Namath became the first football player to achieve rock-star status. The pic will tell the story of how the golden-armed kid from Beaver Falls, Pa., became Broadway Joe, the New York Jets quarterback who became a ’60s cultural figure.
Jake, 26, is currently shooting the Jim Sheridan-directed Brothers with Tobey Maguire and Natalie Portman.
Pictured below: Jake playing in a park with German Shepherd Atticus and then-girlfriend Kirsten Dunst in mid-2004.

first…whats this ex-flame hing with him and nat? they never dated. lol
I THINK HE`S NOT SOOO ATTRACTIV :O
WHO´S NAT?
B’c rumours are more interesting than fact. But you’re right- they never dated.
This movie should be interesting.I wonder if they’ll show Jake as the misogynistic, drunken Joe of recent years. Ugh.
Gosh is getting uglier day by day.
I hope he’s having a great time with Natalie and Tobey!
Jake is good!

A new take on celebrity gossip!
Why do you have pictures of Jake with Kirsten when that was over more than a year ago! How dumb. Jake and Natalie are like brother and sister. Why does every girl have to be someone he “dated.” The tabloids are probably getting ready to start some fiction about Jake and Natalie making Reese jealous or Jake making Ryan jealous. It is all very stupid.Natalie has a man, Jake has a woman, and Kirsten has a drinking problem.
Reese is a good beard, no reason to be jealous! lol
“The tabloids are probably getting ready to start some fiction about Jake and Natalie …”
I hope so!
JAKE AND REESE FICTION IS SOOOOOOOO BORING!
now that’s the kind of film i’d like to see jake in, should be good.
Love Jake and this film sounds interesting!
He used to be so good looking what happened to him? and he’s so boring now, the film, looks good though.

It’s funny you say that, because these pictures were taken in 2004, idiot.
Meline, he is still good looking. People don’t stay the same forever. They grow and change and I think Jake has grown into a beautiful man.
the first pic of him throwing the ball is so gay
I too am wondering how Joe Namath will be portrayed.
#13 Nope sily ho* the one with the beard is a recent one.
Who’s the idiot now? I guess it’s you LOL!!!
and he still ugly.
Wow, getting a beard does get you a good masculine role.
Annie, are you a child or what? How immature.
Whatever to the haters. Jake is sexy, imo. Am looking forward to this movie.
Talula, guess we should put you in the childrens room too. Grow up.
I have no interest for american football but will watch any film Jake G. does
Children room????? You’re so stupid what about you in the ***** room that would be nice. just sayin’
Jake is so damn ugly.
He needs ass implants or something. He will look so out of place in a football uniform with no glutes or upper leg muscles.
Jake is fug!
Jake is very sexy and talented!
