It looks like that grin was there from the beginning. Even then Jake seems to light up when he's with Austin.
Everyone always talks about the wiping down video from The Day After Tomorrow, but I think the captures here are just as telling. Of course the scene is that they are running to beat the ice racing behind them, but Jake doesn't look like he is worried in the least. In fact, he looks like he is loving every minute of working on this scene. And who wouldn't if you got to have such a cutie in a clench. And he is hanging on tight.
It is obvious that both were quite smitten on the set. In some ways, it seem like they didn't even realize how obvious they were about their attraction for the other. The entire cast and crew must have known they were falling hard.
What is so special is that they still have the same look for each other after all these years, in fact it has only grown over time.
TDAT: Jake & Austin Rehersal in the Library Corridor
J&A Set Of TDAT

Thanks who's that. I will make a link in the post for it.
ReplyDeleteFor me, one of the most telling signs in TDAT is that mini interview Austin did... he talked about Jake almost in every questions:
ReplyDeleteWhat did he do for fun during film? - cooking with Jake (the whole chicken mixed with everything thing). What the most difficult part? - Jake making faces at him and cracked him up... Jake this and Jake that....
If that doesn't sound like a crush, I don't know what else :)
NETB, thanks For the text of the song, indeed cake! Also I can now understand!
ReplyDeleteWonderful post! I never get tired to repeat as much as it is romantic TDAT for Jake&Austin and as much as he makes me like get back there often, because it is also never enough. During this moment of the film they have very much concentrated, but that on gripping one to the other is so striking.... shivers.... Absolutely I love when, after they have removed the embrace, they rejoin themselves. So sweet! Thanks for reminding us that *________*
And I do not regret if it were widely eyesbirthday
If that doesn't sound like a crush, I don't know what else :
ReplyDeletewinterbird, I fully agree on everything! But I still wondered how they could cook? But was not in a hotel? Perhaps they were relegated in an apartment? Somebody have information on this?
Seeing that grin always makes me smile too. :)
ReplyDeleteITA, winterbird - there's no doubt in my mind that Austin was completely smitten with Jake. Remember smitten kitten? Are you the one who came up with that, special?
Yes, smitten kitten was my
ReplyDeletecontribution. And he totally is, to Jake's big puppy dog looks.
Thanks for the song Special. And I can never get too much of the smitten kitten.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone interested you can vote for Austin here
ReplyDeleteCouldn't they find a better and more recent photo of him?
Don't forget the other little interview somebody found recently (part of a newspaper article on the set of TDAT) where Austin said he couldn't think of anything bad to say about Jake!
ReplyDeleteFangirl, ITA, they could have found a much better pic than that one! Austy's not doing so well- only 6.75% of the votes.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww . . . TDAT! I finally picked up a copy for my movie collection. Love BNL too - what a great Hanukkah song, and another beautiful menorrah. :)
ReplyDeleteI love BNL too!
ReplyDeleteNow please tell me, when I watched TDAT, it seemed that Jake reached the library not carrying Austin but his other costar (the very smart black guy with glasses). Did my eyes cheated me?
Frenchy, I had to rewatch the scene because I wasn't sure, but Jake is definitely carrying Austin the whole time.
ReplyDeleteThe two of them rush into the library and Arjay (the other costar) is the one who closes the door before it completely freezes over.
The filming of TDAT took almost 8 months. I bet they spent at least 7 of them just teasing and flirting with each other. I mean, they couldn't even contain themselves while they were supposed to be acting according to Austin.
And I really have to agree with Special, it's amazing they were able to keep those smiles they have for each other.
It's been five years and they've had a lot of up and downs during that time and yet Jake still had the same happy Austin smile on Regis & Kelly.
You guys are making me want to watch TDAT again, it's been awhile. And by that I mean the abbreviated, fast-forward through anything without Jake or Austin version.
ReplyDelete^^It really is something, isn't it? I'm so glad I have a copy now for my movie collection. :)
ReplyDeleteSpooky2th made a wonderful video editing the Jake and Austin scenes from TDAT:

Her Austin site is great!
http://spooky2th.livejournal.com/
Hey p, thanks for the link to the video. Gawd, does Austin ever look at anyone/anything else other than Jake in TDAT? I mean even when he SHOULD look somewhere else? Great video BTW.
ReplyDeletespooky's video is so LOVELY!!!! Thanks so much, for the video, and the site, I love your job! I propose to decide the most Jaustin's moment of TDAT, how about?
ReplyDeleteGo for it, giusi :)
ReplyDeleteCan't believe I don't even own a copy of this - I've seen it so many times :)
Spooky`s video sure is lovely. When you see the movie everything happens so fast, so, very nice to see the scenes when they are freezed. I especially like the scene when Austin is giving Jake a warm smile when his character tells Sam to tell Laura how he feels:)(The one after J.D had tried reach his brother on the phone.)
ReplyDeleteNorwegian girl, that's a "who cares about the girl" smile.
ReplyDeleteCheck this. Dickinson again.
ReplyDeletedestiny, are you saying Austin is a terrible actor? Sure JD was not supposed to say that, was he.
ReplyDelete-so much for good acting: If you had asked me, i would say Austin wasn`t that good of an actor at that time. I really think he had a hard time hiding his attraction to Jake during those scenes. BUT, i think he has been growing a lot. I watched most of the episodes of JFC and think he did a very good job. I think he`s matured A LOT as an actor since TDAT. Just my opinion.
ReplyDelete^
ReplyDeleteI agree with NG that acting-wise TDAT Austin and JFC Austin are practically two different persons, in a very good sense of course, even though movies like these are not exactly the best vehicle for actors to show us what they're truly capable of
ReplyDeleteThanks Stubby for that info about TDAT. Now, I'll want to watch that movie again too. Yeah Destiny, thank God for that FFW button!
I apologize for the mistake in my previous post; "cheated" should have been "cheat".
Now off to check all the great stuff you guys posted earlier today. :)
I've been wondering about Perez' mention of Jake and Austin in that post he did about Chace Crawford yesterday. He hasn't mentioned J&A in eons. I found it odd.
ReplyDeleteJust checked all these TDAT clips and saved those who were not already on my playlists. My, it's always a surprise to see how much they've changed in just a couple of years. They look so insanely sweet and boyish in that movie. :)
ReplyDeleteSpooky's video is really sweet too. And she chose a beautiful song to go with it.
Wicked, what do you think? Is he back on the "Jake is gay" bandwagon? And what was his motivation to push Jeese earlier this year?
ReplyDeleteI really have trouble following this guy!
Destiny, thanks for suggesting this Hanukkah song - it's so full of life, I love it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know about Perez - I found his comment unusual too, and it's too quiet! I wonder if we're going to be in for it. :)
While saving clips at Youtube I noticed that one of the BBM interviews Jake gave, to an Italian journalist in that case, is now "unavailable". It was originally listed under the title "Intervista a Jake Gyllenhall, attore in Brokeback Mountain".
ReplyDeleteIf you've watched it, you'll remember this was one of the greatest interviews Jake gave about the film.
Does anybody know if it's been put under another title or if it's available elsewhere online? I would love to be able to watch it again.
Frenchy, that's why I brought it up. Perez has really seemed to be drinking the Jeese juice lately. No saying anything on his blog to suggest he thinks the relationship is anything other than real or that Jake is anything other than straight. And then that comment. It's odd.
ReplyDeleteI read recently that Perez won a multi-million case against Samantha Ronson. Maybe this is farfetched but do you think he might suddenly feel secure enough to go back to his old ways? Aren't there still cases pending with pap agencies?
ReplyDeleteI also found Perez's mention of J&A strange. It made me think that even though he appears to be drinking the Jeese juice he may not be actually swallowing it.
ReplyDeleteAs for the acting in TDAT: I don't think anyone was particularly good. I was never emotionally invested in any of the storylines or characters for even one minute. The script and actors seemed like they were just there as an excuse for the special effects. But I'm not complaining... without TDAT there'd probably be no J&A. I still love watching their scenes together. :)
It made me think that even though he [Perez] appears to be drinking the Jeese juice he may not be actually swallowing it.
ReplyDeleteOh BV, that was too funny! tee-hee! ;) I wish I knew what was going on, tho.
Just watched the video. Superb - I just wish we could see the boys together again. They must be under orders not to be seen together - too much obvious chemistry.
ReplyDeleteSaw a post that Reeke is having in law troubles. Maggie does not like her (smart girl) and Jake complains that R's mom is always around so they cant be alone. (Way to go Mom). Cant recall the site, saw it while at work. Maybe this is the beginning of the end. The commenters as usual all said fake, showmance, come on out Jake.
Here's the site, M.
ReplyDeleteI always thought Maggie was a smart woman. ;)
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention on the topic of TDAT. There is a photo of Jake having a birthday on set. He is at a cake blowing out candles. The guests appear to be in front of him, all but Austin. Always thought it significant that Austin was behind him, apart from the rest. The crew and cast had to know there was something between them.
ReplyDeleteJake and Reese eating out in SF on Thursday
ReplyDeleteSomeone else claims to have seen them at the same restaurant
... where a spy says they were "kissing and eating."
ReplyDeleteThis bit just cracked me up, sorry! :D :D
It looks like we have gone from the grand public romance to only being seen by small blogs and LJs. Add in rumors of potential in-law trouble and what do we have here?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like we have gone from the grand public romance to only being seen by small blogs and LJs. Add in rumors of potential in-law trouble and what do we have here?
ReplyDeleteI think they'll be back in the main rags after they're finished shooting. You know, to fill the "void" between filming and the start of promotional campaigns.
I have to go now. Sweet dreams to all of you.
When the first sighting was reported this weekend, I really doubted it. It was just too convenient. And now we have, what, 4 other mentions to corroborate it? These new sightings read as generally credible to me. However, I do have to wonder why it seems that everywhere (restaurants, garages, aquariums) Jeese went they were not papped but were seen by someone who posted it on the internet.
ReplyDeleteThe SF Chronicle sounds believeable to me as well - the second one doesn't even make sense, so no. I was curious as to how the family members would respond to a fauxmance, and it doesn't sound like it's going over well, if that gossip post can be believed. Most couples go through these adjustment things with in-laws, etc., so more that sounds like more fuel for the faux fire. Where are the even blurry pics?
ReplyDeleteBut, que sera, sera ;) the initial shock of someone going to this length has worn off now, it's just a big *yawn* at this point. It's not something I should be concerning myself with. I'm only interested in their work.
Howevah . . . if Austi Spumanti should take him back, he's gonna paaaaay dearly, I would imagine. Heh! ;) Goodnight, all! :*
"And now we have, what, 4 other mentions to corroborate it? These new sightings read as generally credible to me."
ReplyDeleteJake and Reese are photographed everywhere. If the paps could put a camera in his toilet, they would.
None of the reported sightings have been picked up, and/or substantiated, by the major, slime-ball gossip/photo blogs. It's only been mentioned in the creepy, smaller blogs.
Which means that the smaller blogs are not reporting a sighting; they are simply repeating what other smaller blogs have reported.
Herein lies the paradox : the more unsubstantiated, small blog sightings there are, the less likely it is that anything actually happened. This is the inverse law of publicity.
This dribble/drabble always makes Jake look unprofessional (leaving the set of a movie when he should be rehearsing or preparing), needy (and he goes to her set - why can't she go to his? and he goes to her house - why can't she go to his?), and manipulative (perfectly timed for the Vaughn/Witherspoon on-screen kiss). But I guess it's easier to sell a flaky, needy, manipulative straight male actor than a self-confident bi/gay male actor with integrity.
The blurbette about Maggie is so funny and entirely predictable. Blame the in-laws, not the mood-swings, chilly interactions in LA, weird absences, silences and CAA-sponsored mendacious manipulations by the press.
Yes, it must be Maggie or the parents. Yeah, that's the ticket.
I did not think Perez comment was so loaded or revealing. Plus, either he is a douchbag or he isn't it cannot be on alternate days.
ReplyDeleteBlame the in-laws, not the mood-swings, chilly interactions in LA, weird absences, silences and CAA-sponsored mendacious manipulations by the press."
ReplyDeleteInteresting. What are you getting at? Janet Charlton is always false and her info is always dated. (There's an ongoing joke at fanchitchat that her BIs are always about actors from 40 years ago). But what do you mean by mood swings? Weird absences? Are you talking about Jake? Reese? Do tell...
However, I do have to wonder why it seems that everywhere (restaurants, garages, aquariums) Jeese went they were not papped but were seen by someone who posted it on the internet
ReplyDeleteWicked, San Francisco is generally NOT a town where you find a lot of paps, actually none. Britney Spears could walk around and no pap would ever be seen but of course she is not interested in avoiding them.
What I find absolutely pathetic though is the proliferation of all these so called 'blogs' where people post totally useless and boring no-events in their life. Is it some sort of therapy? Are they learning to write in English? I am not dure who would want to read that shit. Maybe if you drop names of famous people it will turn up on a search but then what?
"
ReplyDeleteWicked, San Francisco is generally NOT a town where you find a lot of paps, actually none. "
There were paps all over NAPA, outside of SF, when Reeke made their last staged vacation appearance. The pap presence in SF isn't as intense as it is in LA, but there are tons of paps in SF. If Reeke was sighted *four* times in SF, someone outside of Joe the valet, Sam the restaurant spy or Cindy the aquarium afficionado would have seen them.
netb, the credit for the song actually goes to my gf, who came across it searching for Hanukah videos on YouTube.
ReplyDeleteNot sure whether to believe the latest sightings. The fact that there are several of them cuts both ways for me. Either way I agree with corpus that the Reeke stuff always manages to make Jake look bad.
I find the Perez comment curious too Wicked.
^^LOL Don't forget Johnny Lexicon (what a name!), he was the aquarium guy, and Eddie the parking valet. I'm sure that there would be paps wanting to get a pic of them.
ReplyDeleteOrbison, SF full of paps? At the SF Aquarium?I have been there so many times there are no paps. There are no paps around I live and work in the city, paps might show up if there is some big event but not otherwise. You got to be kidding.
ReplyDeleteThe paps in Napa: there are usually no paps in Napa that's why I am pretty sure those pics were staged, not to mention we were told before hand it would happen.
There usually might be no paps in SF, but we know they were there on the weekend that Jake was supposedly in SF. They took the pictures of Reese and Vince kissing on Friday, the same day Reeke were supposed to have been hanging out in a garage with the kids.
ReplyDeleteAnd if we believe the sightings then Reeke were out eating at Zumi and A16 on Thursday. That's a lot of restaurants in one day, even for those two.
I just find it way too convenient all the sightings are starting to pop up now. And right after Reese and Vince kissing and on the weekend that Austin has wrapped The Informers.
People have been doubting that Jake was even there and suddenly we hear on Tuesday what Reeke did Thursday last week from a somewhat more "credible" source? 5 days later? That's an awful long delay for a sighting of someone as famous as Reese. Throw Jake in and it's even stranger it took that long.
I stand by my opinion that Jake wasn't even there and until there are pictures proving he was, I won't believe it. Not with all these "coincidences" surrounding this supposed little visit.
I've never seen a paparazzi in SF, or Napa, ever. Maybe if there is some big event that pulls a few stars, they may show up, but even then I cant think of a time so if there were any, it must have been a very small number. They filmed Zodiac in SF with Robert Downey and Jake and no paps showed. Paps would have to be summoned for sure.
ReplyDeleteI give some credibility to the Chronicle, but the sightings are phoned in so may not be any more reliable than these obscure blogs.
The worst part about Reeke has always been that it makes Jake look bad. He doesn't even look hot and sexy lately. His posture and demeanor have drained the sexy out. He had it the week he saw Austin in NY though.
I hate dealing with the issue but a few minutes ago, on Entertainment news italy, announced that Jake and Reese have formalized their relationship. I lost something? Anything is really an officer?
ReplyDeleteOne more name to add to our list.
ReplyDeleteAustralian Actor Tim Campbell has come out. Tim plays the role of Dan Baker on HOME AND AWAY.
Will Vince Vaugh do everyone a favour and take over Reese already? *yawns*
