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.

#13 Nope sily ho* the one with the beard is a recent one.

Ok I may have made a mistake, but once again you contradicted yourself. ‘Still’? So that must mean you always thought he was ugly.
jake’s a ***….just kidding I love Jake..as much as I love…music-by-me.blogspot.com!
I’m glad that more visible gay actors are portraying hetero guys. Neil Patrick Harris and TR Knight come to mind.
It’s called acting for a reason. If straights can play gay, the opposite is just as true. Has been for decades. Rock Hudson, James Dean, Montgomery Clift, Tom Cruise….
Wait, what’s that you say? Jake is not officially out? Give it time.
dont bother to post then cause i don’t want my comments modified.
LOVE HIM!
The shomance is working! I told you that we could get you booked to play a womanizing stud!!
I’m a genius!
Shut up, Evelyn. Jake has been rumored to be doing the JN movie for a while now. Good for him! Don’t care what the haters say, love Jake!
Jake loves you too delusional fangirl. Please visit every website you can think of and show your support!
Yawn at the lameness of “Evelyn”
Fug
Hey Dany using my name again I see, How much is Ted paying you again.
Jake is absolutely HOT!
I think he did a big deal changing girlfriend. In spite of big chin, Reese is nice. But kirsten, after some drinks, is in the top list of 25 uglies celebrities! Poor girl!
I don´t like very much biopic but if Jake is in I `ll watch this movie.
By the way, Jared bring us pics of Brothers´set. It will be too hard doing it?
Humm… Was the boy in Calvin Klein underwear? So sexy!
Jake’s still hot but I miss the days of cute Jake and Kirsten.
We love you, Joe!
Why are you people such idiots?
Can any of you provide even the slightest bit of proof that he’s gay? Anything? Anything at all? Ted Casablanca HAS A TERRIBLE record of “outing” celebrities. Am I the only one who remembers that he thought Ben Affleck and Matt Damon were lovers FOR YEARS. Even PerezHilton doesn’t believe Jake is gay. I’d say that PerezHilton has a FAR BETTER track record than Idiot Ted at outing ACTUAL “gay” celebrities. Second, according to Ted, everyone is gay. Now he thinks Vince Vaughn is gay. The man is clearly an idiot. Wasn’t Ted the one saying that Jake was in New York acting all gay with Austin, when Austin wasn’t in New York and Jake was there WITH REESE, his girlfriend. You believe THIS guy? Really?
Isn’t Ted Casablanca, who is quickly becoming the laughing stock of gossip columnists, and his stupid Toothy Tile thing the only bit of evidence you have? Haven’t you noticed that half the things Ted has printed about Jake and/or Toothy Tile have been proven erroneuous? Does it even matter at this point?
Answer me this, why is Ted Casablanca THE ONLY gossip columnist who has this “information” regarding Jake’s homosexuality? What made Ted so special that NO ONE ELSE seems to have this information? Also, doesn’t it bother any of you that the ONLY person who believes Jake to be gay — Idiot Ted — believes that Jake and Reese are in an actual relationship now.
I think at this point only a moron would believe Jake was gay. Going on a message board and writing “GAY” or “SHE’S A BEARD” with no proof doesn’t make you clever.
It makes you a troll.
Don’t you notice how it’s the same ten idiots who go around and flood these message boards with JAKE IS GAY…REESE IS A BEARD…retarded posts.
I’m talking to you EVEYLN.
Jez, my six-year-old nephew is more clever than you are.
At the very least you should have something smart to say. You’re about as articulate as a retarded caveman.
Again! This men with mental disorder. He make public six with prostitutes during travel by airplane in toilets, at the beaches, in corritor of hotels, in shopcenters like every people whose has a mental problems. The doctors tell that when we became crazy we return to chilhood! This is Hollywood. Nowadays they can only introduce this kind of ***** men or prostitutes for us. There aren’t profissional actors or actreses more. Poor decadcent film industry!
I think it’s the same ten people who go around screaming about “Ted” and freaking out about Jake being straight. The majority of people seem to think this is fake. They might think it’s fake because Jake is really gay or fake because he is sick of people thinking he is gay when he isn’t but either way the consensus is that this is a showmance.
“the consensus is that this is a showmance.”
By whom, they have been together for at least 8months and managed to keep it quite (only the odd sightings) is that how a “showmance” works. Surely they would have been out and about for everybody to see right from the beginning. You TT’ers really should think about something else rather than Jake Gyllenhaal’s sexuality. You are so infatuated it is really scary,
It is good to know how promiscuous and without hygiene the airplanes are at present. Next time I will take something to sterilize the place I will be sit. It is filthy!!! The sit where Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon was sitting in airplane in Frankfurt when both was in airplane bathroom. The sit contaminated with excrements, urine, syphilis, all kind of vaginal illness, hepatitis and sperm!!! I can see why the airplanes transmited AIDS for all over the world too!
Yes, Anon @ #46, you have us totally convinced. We’re all trolls. Sorry. Jake is straight. He is totally ****ing Reese all over Rome and San Francisco, in airplanes, and soon in New Mexico while he shoots. They will get married and live happily ever after. He will not regret for a moment the life he lived and the decisions he made.
You’re right.
How the F*** do you know anything ninny, regret what, he sure looks very HAPPY (but you know different “wink wink”). As I said get a life, it seems that Jake has a VERY VERY good one now, sorry it’s not the one you would like him to have. I am sure he will apologise to you at some point hahahahahahaha.
Aninnymouse, if it makes you feel better, just keep thinking like that. hahahahahaha
