Fresh Never Frozen

Jake spent his weekend doing press for Source Code in sunny LA. Looks like he could have walked back on set just add the tie and the shorts coat and he wouldn't miss a beat. Of course his togs are a little more pricey than what teacher Sean Fentress wore.


Japan was on Jake's mind sitting down with the BBC, when speaking about the movie and talked about the current situation in Japan.

On ET Jake talks about the timeliness of the movie, Michelle talks about working with Jake, and Vera talks about gazing across the table from him in rehearsals.



Extra sat down and got some answers to some current questions.
Asked if he will replace Matt Damon in the next Bourne movie, sadly that a no.

"That's quite a rumor and that would be amazing if that were true, but it's unfortunately not."

When they asked about his recent run with snap happy chappy at SXSW, he would rather focus on more important thing . "There are so many things going on in the world that are of so much more importance at this point that I wish to give my time to. In the wake of so many things going on, it's hard to even talk about things like that."

Asked if he's still "on the market," what did Jake say?

"By 'on the market' or 'off the market', do you mean I am a fresh vegetable or am I canned? Can you pay for me at the checkout? Is that what you mean? You can definitely pay for a little piece of me if you go see 'Source Code.

Now how would you describe Jake in grocery terms? Sure a certain Baker could give an excellent description.




Want more of Jake in Austin. Here's the rest of his interview with Ben Lyons. (3 more parts)

The famous donuts from Gourdough's make their appearance, Jake talks about this year's Oscars and working with another Oscar presenter (Billy Crystal), what he is listening to, and what it's really like riding a bike in NYC.

You know, all your life as a kid, you get driven around by your parents. Then you drive yourself and they drive themselves.

Then at some point, things get reversed and you start driving your folks, aunts, uncles, and all seniors in general - you start driving them around. lol.

So there I go with my mom and San Antonio uncle going to the airport to pick up my Vegas aunt. Tonight we will all convene at the visitation and all of us cousins will be together in support of our cousin who just lost her mom and is the last surviving member of her family. You know, you can go years without seeing a cousin but when you do reunite, it's as if time never passed. You sit around the table after dinner or whatever and you laugh and reminisce as though it were yesterday.

And what's better yet is when you get the aunts & uncles at the same table and you listen to them reminisce about their childhood and all us cousins wrinkle up our faces, unable to imagine our own parents doing some of the crazy stuff that they did. Or wear a leopard coat. We're all dying to see this picture that was found of our just departed aunt, who was sooo quiet and introverted, of her in this leopard coat. I can't imagine.

It's just the best of times.

And so my Vegas aunt is hungry, so we stop at the ollllll' Cracker Barrel for lunch. I know, it's redneck, but they don't have CB's in Vegas, so there we were.

And I'm the only one with leftovers and never mind that I'm as old as I am, they're piling into my take home container everything that isn't nailed down on the table.

"Here, take this! Don't let this go to waste. Here, take this! And this!"

So I come home with leftover corn muffins, all the extra jellies, even extra butters. (because "That's good butter").

LOLLLLL!!!

Reminds me of whenever my dad or mom was in the hospital and come check out time, my dad took everything plastic - the water mug, even the sick pan! Talk about EMBARRASSING. And if you acted or said you were embarrassed, my dad would say, "Heck yeah, I paid for that stuff!"

Ah geez. It's still embarrassing. So there I go out of Cracker Barrel with all the leftover margarine portions like I don't have my own margarine in the fridge at home.

LOL PG.

That's like my Dad who always put water in the catsup bottle to make sure nothing was ever wasted.

Sounds like you're having a good time though, PG. It's great that the family could fly in to be together during this bittersweet time. Sharing memories is all part of the ritual of saying goodbye. At least, in the corporeal sense. Looks like you're going to have some new stories and memories to cherish in the future as well.

Yum. A toasted corn muffin with fresh butter would hit the spot just about now. Hope they're made with buttermilk!

The first day of Spring and what did we have here? Snow showers, and it looks like we are going to have some more later in the week.

I know what you're talking about PG, found a huge stash of teeny tiny syrups last time I was at my dad's.

Thinking of your family as you all come together for your aunt.

Special K said...

Sounds like Jake will be starting to shoot End of Watch soon. Funny how that it happens that Austin is finished up shooting OTH.

the real m said...

PG, sorry that its a sad occasion that brings the reminiscing, but I sure know what you mean. When I see my cousins at weddings or funerals, maybe a graduation or two, its like time stood still.

""By 'on the market' or 'off the market', do you mean I am a fresh vegetable or am I canned? Can you pay for me at the checkout? Is that what you mean? You can definitely pay for a little piece of me if you go see 'Source Code." Here is Jake at his best dodging the question. Contrast that with Chord Overstreet(sp?) who was just on Ellen. She asked if he was attached or available and he said at the moment I am single and available. Now that is a man with nothing to hide.

the real m said...

I thought the script has not even been written for that new film. I think it will be a while until we see it in finished form.

Jake and Austin are going to great pains to keep the public bearding discrete. By discrete I mean minimal to no PDA with others. Except for that forced kiss at the game, little affection was ever shown between Jake and Reese. Just a bit of hand holding. Even with Swift, which lasted about 3 weeks tops, there was no display of affection beyond hand holding. The time span does not even qualify as a relationship. After Sophia mouthed off about her relationship with Austin, a distinct coolness set in. It must have pissed off Jake.

prairiegirl said...
No one said that what Jake has been doing these past few years has been admirable. It is what it is.

Man. Thank you, Actually.
Finally, there are others who do get it.
It is what it is. Exactly.


LOL. Yeah, just keep ignoring all the praise SK has given these two "trailblazers," keep pretending she isn't giving them admiration.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, let me put it this way. And please let me finish my entire comment before putting up the hand after the first one or two sentences.

There is something to be admired about the way Jake and Austin began their dream to have a family. They actually went the traditional route back when it definitely was trailblazing. BT was born in October 2007 which means he was conceived at the beginning of the year. Which means Jake and Austin had to have begun planning even before then. This was before the coming out of the new crop of gay celebrities.

It also was definitely before what is now practically the commonplace tabloid covers of male gay celebrities with their SO's and new baby.

Jake and Austin were doing this before all of the NPH's, Elton, Ricky, Rufus W.'s.

I also believe they got hitched, something else many of these celebs aren't doing, hetero or gay/lesbian. Gee, how revolutionary. A couple getting formally committed and then having their family. These days, that's the cart before the horse.

That being said, what they are doing now I don't like. I don't respect.

By their actions, they look ashamed of each other and what they have. They don't have trust in the reactions of the majority of the general public. And they are doing exactly what the Old Hollywood Guard Way of Thinking wants them to do.

prairiegirl said...

Everyone expresses themselves differently.

Me? I pretty much belt it all right out here, sometimes right off the top of my head. And I pay for it a lot of times, too.

You don't know how everyone always really feels. Some take the route that God wants us to do, which is to not judge.

Someone like myself and like yourself, sometimes take the route that ought to put us in the big Timeout Chair in the corner.

prairiegirl said...

I could also say that I don't know all the facts. I don't know their game plan. Patience has certainly never been a strong point of mine.

It's not good for their children what they're doing. And I hope with all of my heart that they change things soon.

So while I call them out on some stuff, I will always root for the survival of their relationship. Who doesn't want to find the love of their life? Who can't imagine the joy that both guys have most certainly found in the sound of their kids' voices filling the house? The hug from little arms? If you've never experienced it, you cannot know what they have.

You can love someone but yet not like something that they are doing. Just because the children are in the closet along with their dads, it does not take away from the love that they must have for one another nor how precious those children still are. A baby or toddler doesn't stop being cute just because they're hidden.

That's true love, simple as that. It's God's love that He puts in your heart.

Well, on my way to a funeral. Funerals have a way of putting everything into proper perspective.

So sad and so true. J&A could have been trailblazers, instead they are doing things that will hurt those kids.

Being in the closet is bad for your children, that is why Clay and Ricky came out when they had kids, and it is why Matt is inching out of the glass closet.

and it is why Matt is inching out of the glass closet.

LOL! 1 inch every decade.

There was a question about if the script was written for End of Watch after I mentioned that Jake was getting ready to shoot it.

It wasn't the script that wasn't ready, it was needing investors. I'm sure with Jake now attached to it the financial part came together quickly.

Here is Jake talking about how Anne did at the Oscars with Access Hollywood, and the follow up question is about his next project, where Jake talks about End of Watch.
