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.

chris/hal/jim Jake is filming Brothers at the moment plus there is a new picture on IHJ today.
Anon 1:34,
Don’t mess with chris’ fantasies. He doesn’t like facing reality.
They’ve spent every weekend together for over a month, and they’ve both been filming movies. Her in San Fran (Four Christmases), him in New Mexic (Brothers). There have been sightings of them all over LA, San Fransisco, New Mexico and Tennessee.
He began filming his movie, “Brothers,” on November 20th. Or at least that was when he was first spotted in New Mexico.
He was then spotted at the airport leaving Santa Fe, NM for Nashville, TN on November 22, where he stayed until he returned that Sunday the 27th.
She’s went to see him on Dec 1 and 2 (this was the weekend those famous pics of Abbie and Ava). They were then spotted in LA on December 4th, where they went to a movie. Jake didn’t have any filming obligations that week, because they were shooting all of Tobey’s Afghanistan’s scenes. The next day, Reese left for San Fransisco where she began shooting her film. He spent nearly a week with her in San Fran (Dec 6 - 10), hence the photo released today. It was from Dec 8. He returned to New Mexico on the 10th to resume filming.
I’m pretty sure that they will get together this weekend since a) it’s Ryan’s weekend with the kids. b) It was Jake’s birthday yesterday. c) Christmas is next week and i’m pretty sure they both get the holidays off before returning to work in the New Year.
So add it up…Jake began filming exactly one month ago today and he and Reese have spent 14 out of 30 days together, not including their certain get together this weekend.
Ya, i’d say it’s pretty serious if every second you have off, you spend with each other despite busy work schedules.
If she were his “beard” why keep it all so low key? Hey geniuses? They spend all this time together, and yet only one photo of them out and about. If they are all for show, why did they hide it from the public for six or seven months before making their relationship public?
You people just can’t answer these questions. Because the answer is obvious…They are together, have always been together and are probably pretty serious about each other.
No matter how much you idiots want to deny it, that’s just a fact. They’re together.
JP, I love Jake and believe he and Reese are together. I just don’t think every detail of their schedule needs to be posted. Clearly “Chris” has his own agenda. Anyway, hope Jake and Reese continue to have some privacy to their relationship and that they enjoy the holidays without intrusion.
jp: I adore your detailed schedule; are you his publicist?. If they have been “spotted” so often, why no pictures? I still prefer to imagine that she keeps him chained to her bed for entertainment whenever she can get a break from her busy schedule. Has she told you when she will see him next? You seem to be all knowing. LOL. A side question: why is he wasting his youth (not really so young any more) on a woman too old in all likelihood to bear him any kids? He has indicated he wants kids. Maybe he can’t make any himself and would prefer to be a foster to someone else’s? Suppose?
“…without intrusion…”!!?? What a horselaugh. When has a Hollywood actor resented “intrusion?” Intrusion is what they are all about. They put themselves on display for a living and invite their fans to “intrude”. The idea that they resent intrusion is hilarious. Beyond hilarious.
Chris
I will explain again with my bad English.
When you don’t have background or any kind of education your privade life will be a desaster! It is a destiny of people wihtout concience!
Chris, you really seem disturbed. Aka, you are just insane.
