'Scape Rate

There are all kinds of ways to rate movies.  Thumbs, tomatoes, stars.

And there are all different things to rate about movies.

So inspired by Jake's latest picture of Southpaw, where nary a hair can be found on his frame,  we rate Jake's movie with the 'Scape Rate -i.e. how much manscaping it took to get the look.

City Slickers

It's a kid.  Give him a haircut and he's good to go.     0 pots of wax

October Sky

Barely old enough to shave,  there wasn't much hair on the chest way back when. 0 pots of wax

Donnie Darko

Clean up the brows a bit, a shave and throw in a haircut -good to go.  1/4 pot of wax

Bubble Boy

With an arch that rivals Joan Crawford there was some step up to waxing, but left those limbs au natural.   1 pot of wax.

Lovely & Amazing

It was more hair dye than wax, but Jake was still keeping up with the defined brow.  1 pot of wax.


The Good Girl

Keep those brows thinned, and a little clean up on the knuckles during those manis. - 1 pot of Wax

Highway

Some hair wax to make his hair stand up, it was pretty much the color and that spider face paint that was the center of this look.  2 pots of wax.

Moonlight Mile

A little cut and color.  Clean up a bit for the show scene in the beginning.  1 pot of wax.

The Day After Tomorrow

On screen he is gets to show that perfect amount of scruff.   Off screen there was some serious manscaping for sure (with assistance - no doubt  ; ) )   3 pots of wax in a homage to those 3 chicken that got them  heated up.

Proof

Keeping up with GOOP --- 3 pots of wax for that alone

Jarhead

Shaved, high and tight,  - wait are we talking about hair or Jake's tiny heiney?  It was a Marine effort to get the balance of looking smooth and slight rough around those (great) edges.   3 pots of wax.

Brokeback Mountian

It wasn't about taking off hair, but the tricky use of hair to age him over 25 plus years with a little work for those tent scenes.   2 pots of wax

Zodiac

Fincher kept him in the era and did 70's natural and sideburn'd.  2 pots of wax - because it's Fincher.

Rendition

Sculptured that chest hair for a memorable opening scene and with the Zevon of molded hair  - 3 pots of wax

Brothers

The first time for a beard, and a tattoo.  2 pots of wax for the learning curve of the first time.

Nailed

You thought it was about the doofy congressional hair, but then you saw this and you knew they found the money for some wax.   3 pots of wax.

Prince of Persia

The Rachel hair, the Disney prince precise level of hairy chest,  you know there were many many meetings across the House of the Mouse.   3 pots of wax for the teleconferencing alone.

 Love and Other Drugs

Whatever it took it was worth it.   4 pots of wax 

Source Code

Make him look like a history teacher - the well groomed Supercuts look gets 2 pots of wax.

End of Watch

Not only did he lose the beard, but lost all of that thick hair.  That's a shave and a half - every single day.  3 pots of wax

Prisoners

The tricky 90's pop haircut and tattoos gave prison to 2 pots of wax.

Enemy

Double the role - half of the maintenance.  It was a low maintenance  with keep the beard and work the hair, and let the fur go free.   1 pot of wax.

Nightcrawler

Skinny, smooth and the man bun.   2 pots of wax.

Everest

He let it go and let it grow  - but there was some trimming and smoothing when he lost the coat... sweater... shirt... pants...  1 pot of wax.

Southpaw

No hair anywhere.  They just dipped him in and ripped it off.  He had to be yelling "Kelly Clarkson" by the time they were waxing the abs.  5+ pots of wax.

On Big Rock Digital Mountain

OMG wondered when the first pictures of Jake actually filming Everest and the answer came pretty quick with a set of picture of Jake filming.

We kidded about bringing on the green screen and whoop! there it is in all of it's green glory.

While the backdrop, rocks and snow are faux, Jake's tresses are not.  Check out those long locks.  Guess he wasn't a fan of the extensions from PoP and went for the real thing.

It is a bit ironic that the Michelin stars for fine dining were announced the day before. With Jake's love of great food and that snow suit he would have made the perfect spokesman. (All kidding aside - that color was picked especially for Jake - without a doubt. Just picture how that blue is going to bring out his eyes in a backdrop of all that snow. Even more important because that will one of the very few parts of Jake that won't always be covered up.

A little off the top

Better late than never- sorry for the delay- #snowhibernationproblems

 In screencaps from trailer - it's a very hirsute Mr. Jake

Which confirms how much manscaping is going on

And not just for in front of the camera.

Olympics for ALL Moment:

Released by The Fair Games Project, this video, titled "Russia Declares Discrimination Newest Olympic Sport," is part of a campaign to raise one million dollars by the closing of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in order to support LGBT Russian activists.

Go Tell about the Mountain

Jake is getting his mountain man on.

Popping up in NYC the last two days, Jake has been out dining with friends and family and looking every inch of a globe trekker at the moment

First with Chris

Then with Maggie

With the weather in NYC the last few days and Jake wearing those warm wooly sweaters and that massive amount of thick hair he has Jake will have no problem being ready for shooting Iceland.

But before he goes, it is off Toronto on Sunday for his chat with Denis about Enemy.

We'd say stay warm Jake but you've go that covered.

Not so smooth Face Time

 It's been all about Jake's beard for a while and in 20 days that wooly mammoth will be gone. 

But before it goes how about some time for Austin's face fur at it's fullest.

Surface was when it was it's wooliest on screen.

 And off screen, this one of the more recent pics- during ACL 2012.

While is not as Old Testament, Crazy Coot as Jake's you can see it has the potential.

Let's hope it never goes that way.

Soft, Hard, Hairy

Here is the latest interview with Jake courtesy of Extra



Ben Lyons talks to the LAPD officer who helped get Jake into shape and ready for his role as Officer Taylor.

No doubt he will be joining Jake and the rest of the cast when they premiere EOW this Saturday at the Toronto International Film Festival.

And if you catch the beginning of the video, you will in fact hear Mario Lopez use the words Oscar buzz.  Guess we will have to wait and see.

Does shaving your head give you a little one up on the Oscar Race?   

And Jake?  Well he gets a little commentary in about his hair growing ability.
