OlderJake Gyllenhaal: Just Say Uncle… Vanya!
Super siblings Jake Gyllenhaal and Maggie Gyllenhaal share a laugh at the after-party for the Off-Broadway play Uncle Vanya at New York City’s Pangea restaurant on Thursday (February 12)
Maggie and husband Peter Sarsgaard joined the cast of the Anton Chekhov play a few months ago.
Synopsis: Chekhov’s drama is a mixture of farce and anguish, hopeless infatuations, old grudges and ironic humor. A man and his niece have spent their lives caring for the country estate of a writer they regard as a great man. But when it becomes apparent, during one of the writer’s infrequent visits, that he’s really a failure and a nobody, Uncle Vanya and his niece painfully awaken to the fact that their lives have been wasted.

They both look very happy. But I can see criticism coming her way. So she looks normal. Deal.
oops, looks like maggie aged about 20 years.
two ugly geeks.
-
one went to a gym and the other embraced the fug.
he got the looks in the family
I will never understand how or why this unfortunate-looking woman is a movie star. Marginal talent and spinster-aunt looks.
Thanks God, Reese didn´t go.
Jake looks happy and free like old time.
She looks terrible. I guess her brother got all the good DNA and she got the short end of the stick.
I feel bad for her, she is one ugly girl. Jake certainly got the looks in the family. I agree with rebecca, Jake looks happy and that is unusual.
I thin Jake is hot ina way. I like his hairy body. Who wants a waxed ken doll. His biggest downer = his thin non existent lips. EWWW How is a gal/guy supposed to have fun kissing thin little lips. NO THANKS!
First of all, Maggie has every bit as much talent as Jake. Have you seen “Secretary” or “Sherrybaby”? She’s a wonderful actor. And just because she’s not as commerically “beautiful” as Angelina (who I’d honestly aruge has about the same chops, not any better, than MG) or Kate Winslet, do we have to call her ugly? Seesh people! Love to see some of your mugs!
1. He needs a shave.
2. This is why he was at the LA airport a few days ago, blying to NYC to attend his sister’s play opening.
3. The New York Times gave the performance as so so review. Said the acting was okay but hyper kinetic. The actors needed Ritalin.
4. She is half way attractive here, but he got most of the good looks in the family.
5. They are leaving a coffee house. Jake seems addicted to coffee, but that is better than drugs or booze for sure.
6. Interesting that neither parent is around as far as one can see. Where is mama or papa?
I´d like see Jake with his cute niece.
Hortensia
Their parents were taking care Ramona. Believe or not…
I agree that she is a good actress. I didn’t like Secretary because the setting and subject were simply unpleasant. I did think she did fine in Sherrybaby. Better than I had expected. She is NOT ugly, but she is not a Barbie doll manequin Hollywood beauty. So what? I get sick of seeing 10,000 super gorgeous blonds all the time. Nice to see a halfway normal looking woman who exudes some intelligence. She has a BA from Columbia University in English Lit.
# 11…hUh…….??????
kinda strange what you posted.
These siblings have only two things in common: beautiful blue eyes and dark hair.
They may be siblings but they don’t look anything alike — completely different noses, teeth, facial shape. Maybe the eyes look sort of similar, but that’s about it.
But they have the same big smiles!
Nothing I posted was “strange”. Only to a “strange” person would it be strange. Everything I said was fact or common opinion.
They don’t look alike because they are not identical twins. Brother and sister with lots of different genes.
Here’s the menu of the restaurant they went to. Jake tends to favor Italian cuisine. I am a bit surprised that his pal Chris was not there. Or maybe he was but simply not in the photos.

How. People. Can. Be. That. Bad. Looking?
Errr.
my favorite pair of famous siblings :D they are great actors and i really dont agree with 17, they look a lot a like. mabe not in these pictures but their eyes look the same.
Neither one of them is good looking.
Most people think Jake is very good looking. Not a pretty boy, a good looking guy. Zac Efron is a pretty boy if that is what you want.
I think he’s butt ugly.
#25 then why would you come here to look at his pictures?
On another site Maggie evidently said their mother was trying to move in with her and Peter. Figures. The mother is said to be broke and the parents’ home is or was up for sale in Hollywood. Mama needs a place to bed down, perhaps.
Maggie’s face is melting off, holy ****!
“jake & DROOPY gyllenhaal”, folks?
Unfavorable, very, review of the play:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601088&sid=aJsub.SqGPhs
So nice to see Jake relaxed and happy looking. He just can’t fake looking happy whenever he’s with his beard girlfriend, Reese. Does his PR tell him the truth about what a fake couple they look like or does his PR lie to him and tell him that the showmance is working and people believe he is straight.
I think he has a boyish charm.. But I have to be honest.. I do not find him sexy in the least. I don’t care about his abs or body.. He just does not make me think Sexy when I see him.. Same for Leo… (who by the way does not have a good body).. JMO
lol, ugly siblings, I can’t believe this… :)
They look really happy and having a good time together, that’s great!
Is that his sister? OMG, why is she taking pics?!
Neither one of them is good looking. She’s really aging badly. He’s a dork. Why are we looking at them?
HOORAY!!!! Jake actually looks extremely happy for once. It is great to see his old self again. Finally. I’m glad that he is actually spending some quality time with his sister. We have not seen any of this since he hooked up with Reese. It figures, because Reese is so damn controlling. Way to go Jake, keep it up!
maggy is horrible!
BTW vanya means “periods” in i dont remember which langage but that sucks!
but maggy s face is not “normal” , it’s supernatural and we gotta hunt it!!
Maggie and Peter reminds me of old married couple who just turn back from 1918. Their style is totally boring and uninteresting.
Nice to see Jake… he always pass. :-P
#37 hahaha, “Vanya” is only a russian name!
Jake looks so happy! Everyone there looks happy and like they’re having a great time. No wonder: Jake’s “Hollywood’s Highest Paid Oscar Winning Actress” beard midget wasn’t there. More to celebrate!
That’s a very unflattering photo. I still think she’s beautiful. Obviously you superficial idiots will disagree.
I don’t think that Maggie is ugly …
but her black outfit looks little bit depressive… she need bright colors.
ugly girl
She looks fine for a woman who has just given a performance and is obviously tired and wants to get home because it’s late.
Don’t forget that these pictures haven’t been airbrushed like 99% of the photos posted on this and all the other celeb sites. Every picture of any A, B or C lister is published after hours of computer airbrushing and we should remember that when we see these “visions of beauty” in mags and on the net. A good example are the the last two photoshoots of Kate Winslet for Vanity Fair and another magazine - you could almost see the changes that had been done to her and she was unrecognizable. She certainly doesn’t look so good in pics which haven’t been airbrushed!
So it is simply not fair to compare these pics of Maggie, without makeup after a hard day’s work, and pics of actresses who have had hours of makeup, hair + airbrushing.
Maggie isn´t ugly woman but she is not a kind of Angelina Jolie.
No problem cause Meryl Streep is amazing actress and she isn´t a diva. I mean Maggie can be big actress cause beauty is not fundamental to her job.
I don’t think it is essential to be beautiful to be a good actor. But I have a huge problem with the media trying to tell me that the Gyllenhaal’s are sexy or attractive. Neither one of them has a sexy bone in their body and she is hideous. He is OK for a guy but he kind of looks like a cartoon character of a Basset Hound. I hate how his mouth is always open when he smiles.
The only movie I ever saw her in was Batman and she was terrible. I have seen Jake in a few movies and he’s just alright nothing amazing IMO.
They are the John and Joan Cusack of the 21st century. Who agrees?
Another review, also not very favorable to anyone in the cast, except Meryl Streep’s daughter who is praised to the skies.
http://www.nypost.com/seven/02132009/entertainment/theater/uncle_relatively_minor_revival_154887.htm
Too bad Maggie didn’t get better reviews. I’m sure she tried hard. She is a serious actress and not just a Hollywood sex goddess.
I really enjoy seeing this brother and sister together they genuinely seem to just love each others company.
While I will be the first to admit I have been on the Maggie is not a looker band wagon a few times, I have had a change of heart as late.
While she isnt a typical Hollywood carbon copy that is for sure, it is refreshing that someone that is certainly average at best can be cast in great movies. I know I know we see average looking people everyday and thats why most of us are taken by the Hollywood beautiful people, but, when you see her she seems so much more genuine than the brooding, posing, full lipped media seeking celebs that are so often featured more than any other on this website.
So, thanks for the pics Jared, I get tired of the Addams family cheerleading and like seeing some real people for a change.
People who think Reese is Jake’s beard have to explain why Reese would bother to play this role since there is NOTHING in it for her. She could have zillions of men to date; why would she choose a gay guy? Nobody can explain that.
Jake was quite sexy in Brokeback. In the beginning of the picture when he arrived and stretched out against the truck, languidly displaying himself for Ennis to see, he was very sexy.
I like Maggie in the movie World Trade Center as the pregnant wife of one of the surviving fire fighters pulled from the rubbage.
Jake was sexy for one minute as a gay man. As a hetero he’s bland white bread. Reese is with him because she could not get any other man never mind zillions that is just ridiculous.
#46 said “I hate how his mouth is always open when he smiles.”
WTF?? How can you smile with a closed mouth? LOL, what an asinine comment.
“People who think Reese is Jake’s beard have to explain why Reese would bother to play this role since there is NOTHING in it for her. She could have zillions of men to date; why would she choose a gay guy?”
Hortensia, after Ryan left Reese she didn’t want to look pathetic like how Jennifer Aniston did after Brad left her for Angie. So she latched onto Jake, each doing each other a favor. He needed to look straight and she needed to look like she was desireable. As for her having “zillions” of men to date, huh? When was the last time you heard any male actors or celebs gushing over how sexy she is and how much they want to date her? Rumor has it in the industry that she’s such a controlling biotch most don’t even want to work with her much less socialize with her or bed her. So she and Jake hang out, do a few photo ops and you know what? After 2 years, it still isn’t fooling anybody, except for the ones who read the PR-shills like People.
Jake is a really good guy. I hope he gets married to Reese soon and starts having kids of his own!
Such pathetic comments here.
“I hate it when people smile with their mouths opened.” Jesus christ, I’d hate to see your other pet peeves.
“WAH WAH, the media is forcing me to find them attractive, therefore I think they’re hideous.”
Idiots.
Two years of holding hands and nothing…
God that must be so desperate, maybe they start as fake, but soon they probably say to each other let’s try and if it it’s work … than good for us.
And then they tried (aries + saggitarius = great sex, good understanding).. Reese money make things even better, they buying houses and traveling around world..she is maybe small and not so attractive , but she know how to improve her life… with her Jake enjoy in life, they simply support each other, while they last.
U G L Y Gyllenhaal’s ain’t got no alibi they’re ugly hey hey they’re ugly
He smiles with his jaw dropped. Check out photo shoots where the real photographers make him not do this. It makes him look retarded. LOL at his minions defending his fug face.
I love Jake and/or Reese threads because their fans are soooo nasty and hostile to anyone who disagrees with them. I admire their nutty obsession with these two bland fame whores. You know these same people love Halmark cards and shopping at the mall and chain restaurants.
Nice ot see Jake without that nasty midget Reese Witherspoon.
Jake deserves a better beard!
Jake deserves to not have to beard at all.
What the hell are you all guys doing posting on this site on Valentine’s day? Don’t you have a date or a husband/wife,girlfriend or boyfriend to take you out to do something more rewarding than this? You are all a bunch of sad lonely people, I bet Reese and jake are doing something more romantic today,….I’m off for a nice diner with my wife right now,…enjoy your sad impossible cyber-romance with Jake!
Ronald,
Like you, we are posting idiots comments here cause we have anything good to do than talking bs about Jake G.
By the way, in my country it´s not Valentine Day (DUH…).
Jake beat the hell out of Reese and they are keeping it on the down
low. That is why she is not there and why there aren’t any pix today!
No one is going to see Reese for a few days.
Maggie Gyllenhaal looks like a bat in this awful dress!
Ronald it’s still early afternoon for some of us and we are sitting around the house, having fun catching up with the gossip sites. And you’re the one who’s pathetic, believeing Reese and Jake are luvvvvers.
The attempts to explain why Reese would bond with a gay guy are stupid and silly. The idea that she couldn’t get a hetero guy is beyond moronic. She is straight and so is Jake. If he is bi, well that MIGHT be possible, but that he is gay only is contradicted by clear evidence from Dunst to the contrary. You silly people just love to think everybody in Hollywood is gay. So STUPID. Gives you a comfortable feeling os superiority I would guess.
Marriage is often a bad choice in Hollywood since it creates legal problems if one splits up and there is quite a bit of that in Hollywood. Reese already has had a bad marriage experience and has openly said she isn’t about to make the same mistake again. But that doesn’t mean they are not “into” each other. Jake’s sister is “engaged” endlessly to what’s his name and they have a kid but they are not married. Lots of people in Hollywood don’t want to chance it.
It doesn´t happen only Hollywood.
In generally, artists switch partners like ordinary people do with clothes.
They need to be in passion (not love) and sometimes they don´t get stay with only one person by their side. It´s what happened with Reese and Ryan.

The latest on Jakeypoo and Reesepoop, from the London Daily Telegraph: proposal in Egypt??? Witnessed by mummies no doubt.
“I was asked to organise the trip for Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend,” said Geoffrey Kent, the founder of Abercrombie & Kent, at the opening of the company’s private travel office at Harrods. “They will go everywhere by private jet and cram as much as possible in. That means Luxor, the Pyramids and possibly a private viewing of the newly discovered Saqqara mummy. They are going to stay in the best hotels and the idea is that it will be quite an experience.”
Gyllenhaal, 28, lived in Notting Hill with Miss Witherspoon, 32, while filming Prince of Persia. His only distraction was, as I disclosed last August, that he was the subject of a “stalker alert” at Ealing Studios after a note praising him as an object of romantic passion was slipped under a trailer door.
The woman who was working at Ealing at the same time as the actor is said to have been banned from the celebrated studios for life after expressing her feelings for him.
The woman, who was believed to have been an employee of Slingshot productions, posted a Mills & Boon-type note on the wall in her office praising Gyllenhaal as an object of romantic passion.
A mischievous colleague took the note and slipped it under the door of one of the trailers for the film, allegedly sparking a major stalker alert.
It was even claimed that Jerry Bruckheimer, the film’s producer, telephoned Ealing from Los Angeles to demand that the person responsible for writing the note be fired. This was, however, denied by Bruckheimer, whose spokesman told me: “No such phone call was made.” The studio is said to have pointed out that it couldn’t sack the woman because she didn’t work for Ealing. Instead, she was allegedly banned for life.
A Slingshot spokesman said: “I am aware of the incident you are talking about, but we do not want to comment.” Ealing Studios also declined to discuss the matter.
That is SO unfair. You confess that you have a crush on Jakeypoo and you lose your job as a result. She didn’t get Jakey and she lost her job. Very sad indeed. So be careful, you fans. You just might get fired for lusting after Jakeypoop.
Hey Jakey. You should be going to PERSIA not EGYPT. Don’t you know the difference? Persia is Iran that is next to Iraq. Egypt is where the canal and the Nile are. Didn’t you learn any geography in school? Sheesh. What a dumbass. By the way, you did well to hitch up with Chinspoon, she’s got the dough for this lavish trip.
She is truly honely and the reason why they are both in the biz… is because they come from a show business family… obviously (in her case especially) movie directors/producers wouldn’t have looked at her homely features twice! *Shudder*
It must be nice to have two equaly successful actors in one family who share fondness and support for each other. Anyone else remember Donnie Darko? Interesting what was asked of her in that role as Donnie’s SISTER. They must be very close.
I hate when people smile, like Maggie, and they show ALL GUMS, instead of only their teeth. All she has to do is drop the smile somewhat and don’t expose the gumline….Geesh, now is that hard to do?
Not entirely true, “shudder”. They come from a family in the business and that gave them a boost into it all. She has not been terribly successful, probably because she is not a “looker.” But he has done quite well, because his pictures, or enough of them, have done well. The one about the new ice age was very profitable. And he got an Oscar nomination for Brokeback. So you can’t say his success is entirely due to his family. He has carried his career on his own.
Daily Telegraph (London) reports that she is taking him along on a lavish trip by private plane to Egypt to inspect the mummies and antiquties there. One can only presume that he will notice that she is alive and different, and that might even stimulate him to some action. In any case, it will give them topics for pillow talk, like “do you think Ramses III was a better Pharoh than Amenhotep II?”
It might also allow her to broach some touchy topics indirectly, like asking him “Do you really think Akhenaten might have been gay?”
She is the ugliest celebrity. EVER. I cringe when I look at her.
My god you guys can be so nasty. I think Jake is a sweet, sensitive guy who is down to earth loves his family and i am pretty sure he loves Reece. I dont think this charade would be going on for so long. she is a mother and would not put her children through this!! the kids getting to know him, and being part of their family i dont think their dad (ryan) would allow it. I hope Jake marries and has children of his own i am sure he will make a great dad.
I never think of MG attractive or photogenic. She looks older than her age…. that is all!!!!
Maria you don’t expect people who hang around these boards to be reasonable or decent, do you?
He never looks like he’s having a good time with Reese, she is dull she can’t help it that’s just how she is. She does seem like it’s HER way or the HIGHWAY. Of course I don’t know her but he seems happier in these photos and dressed a bit more stylish as well.
Maybe Reese is grouchy and dull ..
But truth is that she was…. and still is only one who stood by Jake, when he survived some hard moments in life..
I am from australia Hortensia and have never heard of the word beard!!! Jake has been looking sad for the last year. it could be the death of his good friend Heath Ledger and also the divorce and financial situation his parents are in. I just think he is too young to be involved with an already family and all the baggage that goes with it. Whether he is gay or straight is his right and it would be sad to think that he needs to go through all this crap for his career, we love him and i will still go and see his movies whether he is gay or straight.
Reese Witherpoon is make competition with her rivals in Egypt Museum the mummies!
Perhaps Jake Gyllenhaal can find his big love between the muslims.
They hate the woman and love man!
Well I doubt Jake is sad. He probably is not happy about his parents, and he probably wishes his movies made more money, but it is pretty obvious he and Reese get along well and enjoy each other’s company. They would not spend as much time together as they do were it only for show. She also has lots of money so they can live very well. I doubt he has many things to be sad about. I think you may be projecting.
I think Jake is losing his patient with paps because of Reese.
Problems he has, of course, but I think he´s getting well although troubled parents divorce.
I;ve got something to tell people who can’t think straight. Jake’s affair with Reese proves beyond a doubt that he is not gay. Why? Well Reese could not possibly want to risk her reputation if he were. That is to say, if he were to eventually come out or be outed, she would appear an utter fool. And fool is not what she is interested in seeming to be. So you can be sure she knows he is NOT gay or she would NOT be involved with him. Use you brains, if you have any. Stupidos.
Hortensia agree with you..
Reese is not Jake beard (what ever that mean)… she is too independent.
So called dating with gay guy doesn’t suits her or her image…
And what happen to her ??? No sound for quite long…
She is maybe pregnant after all :-D
Yeah, I have to say that I am finished with the “Jake is gay; Reese is his beard” nonsense. It is so stupidly ilogical that it is completely untenable and clearly false. She values her reputation and would not risk trashing it by being found to have been a “beard”. People in the inside in Hollywood know who is gay and who is not and she knows Jake is not and that is why she is willing to be linked to him. If he were gay she wouldn’t touch him with a thousand mile pole.
I have never once thought that jake is gay!!! Just because he is gorgeous, sensitive, respects women. has the best body and those blue eyes does not make him gay. There has never been an indication that he likes blokes, just because he played a gay role its ridiculous to think he is gay. But more than anything Reese would not be involed in such a farce. Just because her husband dumped her that doesnt mean she has to pretend to have a relationship. They both have needs so what have they been doing for the last 2 years to satisfy their needs with the paparazzi always all over them????? they are both straight and in love with each other.
this is so strange i just submitted my previous entry and just realised the time. In Australia it is 9.30am Thursday morning just got to work 1 hour ago and you guys in the states LA at least is 2.30 Wednesday afternoon. I hope you all have a great day, and have a be nice to JAKE day.
It is a terror!
All these children of Hollywood actors haven’t any kind of future. They aren’t citizens because they can be another thing as mediocre actors.
There isn’t biolog or engineers or teacher etc. They haven’t any kind of culture or background.
Hollywood is a festival of ignorants and parasites!
Hortensia, what you said make sense.
Ivana, maybe next Reese´s pics she´ll be in Egypt and Jake together, of course.
It is really quite simple. All you have to do is to apply a bit of good sense and logic to the situation to get the right answer.
Hortensia
I am saying that for quite long but no one listen me… maybe because my English or the fact that certain people do not know how to logical think… :-P
X just imagine Jake and Reese sitting on camel in desert.. So romantic like old Rudolph Valentino Movies… :)))
If they are in Egypt Reese might be sitting on Jakey’s lap but Jakey will be sitting in a private jet. Camel? What nonsense.
What these two ignorant people would be make in Egypt. They will be killed over there. Egypt is a country with lot of fundamentalist muslin. We don’t see any women on street over there. They hate americans too!
Egypt is for for people whose know the culture and art too! Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon haven’t any kind of background!
They aren’t Christ too. Christianism has lot of influence of Egypt civilization. They will not understand nothing over there!
Se,
Egypt doesn´t like christian or jewish. Nowadays, Egypt adopts Islã like main religion but as turistic place there´s no problem to anyone since you respect local tradition. I mean my sister in law is catholic and went there in 2007 and she loved this place and she had no problem. It´s a place where I wish go one day.
Ivana,
Last gossips said Jake bought a ring to Reese when he was in NYC. Maybe engagement on the way…
I was in Egypt after the terrorist attetad in Hatachepsud Temple.
At this time I have made a testament before I had travel!
At this time thae security was hary big over there.
The fundamentalist influence is so big over there that we can’t see any women on street over there!
The christ religion has lot of influence of Egypt civilisation. The real catholic know that!
There are lot of catholic that lose lot of tradition of their religion and don’t know how to be catholic or where their tradition come from!
It awful how the modern man are dominate for prostitutes and how they live in their illusions that a prostitute can have any kind of love.
The future children of our world educate with all these biest!
A prostitute educate their children how to be oportunist and use the people!
The mental retarded man of 21 century are stupid and dirty!
Poor Jake Gyllenhaal!
I was been in Egypt after the terrorist attentad in Hatachepsut Temple. At this time had lot of security everywhere over there.
The christianism has lot of influence of Egypt civilisation! The real catholic knows that.
There are lot of catholics that don’t know the tradicions of their religions and where these traditions come from!
The monastery for example come from influence of Egypt civilization!
They’re cute, I love them!
