Canadian Goose

Grey Goose was excited to party with Jake at TIFF

Jake at a party with Grey Goose ....

Whoda' thunk?

 

 

 

Even Grey Goose knows it's Austin Friday

In the time of B.C.

 Just something to think about.

All of this happened BEFORE Cassanova and the first "official" picture of Jake and Austin together.

Before Casanova- try before TDAT - Jake and Austin at Club Lotus in New York just weeks after casting for TDAT.

 (And it only took what 6-7 years? for this picture to pop up?)

Of course TDAT

 By each others side on

 and off screen

And don't forget their cooking experiments Austin gushed about in an interview. (Two whole chickens and radishes)

Then that smile that is only for one fella (Nov 2005)

Then Cassanova happened

 

 

Just a reminder that there can be a lot of things going on you might not see but doesn't mean they aren't happening.

What started back then....

Continues today.

Jake might have had a
trying?
diva? tough day on set today, there is something special about today.

It was ten years ago that Jake and Austin were at the 2nd anniversary of the Lotus Club in New York. 

Just weeks after meeting Austin is with Jake in New York, not just hanging with friends but also Jake's sister Maggie. It shows that when they fell it was fast & furious and definitely hard.

Those around them must have seen how this was the real deal, it took 7 years for more pictures to come out from that night, and shortly after their evening at Lotus, it was floated about Jake with Natalie, and then of course came Kiki.

For years,  the only picture we had was of Jake and Macaulay with a tiny shoulder that we know now is Austin. 

Then we saw in the background that familiar fellow who has been by Jake's side ever since.


And while some relationships that start out so intense, so fast, burn out quickly, theirs continues to grow all these years.

And for such a Two Wheel Tuesday,  a Two Man Two Wheeler.

Square One

Although we got a small glimpse of the guys early last year. At where else, A farmers market (Thanks again the special OMG friend who shared it with us )

It was a year ago today we got clear shot of Jake and Austin together after a long time being out of the camera sights.

We didn't know when we would see them together again, but then we got a little unexpected surprise later in the summer.

But all this, would not have happen if one movie that opened 7 years hadn't happen.

It was said that during casting, as soon as they met they couldn't take their eyes off each other.

There must have been some kinds instant chemistry because just weeks after casting they were in New York together months before filming began. And Austin had already met one member of the G clan, Maggie.

But before we knew that it was well known how well they got along during filming. They themselves couldn't help but talking about the other.

Austin talking about on set with Jake for TDAT and cooking together in YM magazine.

The online link is gone. But ANJ had a transcript in their archives. (Thanks Spooky and Vespy!)

Hardest part to film: His scenes with Jake. "He was always making faces at me, trying to crack me up," says Austin. "It usually worked too. I was trying to be all serious and I'd see him sticking his tongue out and I'd lose it."

Fave on-set pastime: Cooking with Jake. They usually make Mexican food, but Austin's most proud of their make-it-up-as-you-go-along chicken dish. "We put three full chickens in a huge pan with shallots, garlic, onions, radishes, and seasoning." Sounds tasty.

And Jake owning up to making it hard for Austin.

This is from YM - June 2004 again courtesy of ANJ.

Jake : I especially love messing with Austin [Nichols, who plays a rich kid who also wants to date Laura]. He'll do a take and I'll say, "you're not reallly going to do that are you?"

ANJ - I especially love messing with Austin ; )


And it was evident in the outtakes and special features.





And Roland saw something special, expanding Austin's part and framing the two together on the screen.

And even the guys themselves made it special with just the little things they sneaked on screen as mementos of them together.

Still wonder about the combustible trailer and who ending having to buddy up until they got a new one. (Let's see Arjay said it wasn't him and Emmy has never said anything, and you'd think if it was Dennis he would have told that story at least once... hmmm who's left? )

And the mysteries continued even two after making the movie at the premiere 7 years ago this weekend.

Austin's watchful eyes on Jake. Jake's throwing snowballs at Austin. Yet as we know, they were mere feet from each other and had pictures taken with everyone else there, there is not one picture of them together or in a group.

It is amazing how just one moment in time can change lives and touches so many others is so many ways.

Jake was showing some color during his run yesterday.

After going with the Black Ops look on Friday night.

Not only was he showing off the guns he was flashing some metal.

Still be able to keep it close and not be too noticeable.

Happy Memorial Day!
Thank you to all who serve and have served.

Back to the Lotus

Ed. note: Sorry for the delay. It's been a bad bad bad bad blogger day.

Couple things more things about Lotus.

You've seen this picture before

But look at this picture of Austin at the Wrap Party for Full Count/Lenexa 1 Mile down at a Westport bar in KC.

Notice anything?


And there was someone else who was at Club Lotus that night. And it is significant in this toothsome tale.
Yes Maggie was there that night as well.

So not only was Jake out with Austin so soon after meeting, but obviously Jake had introduced Austin to his sister. Looks like she knew from the beginning what her brother had found and who he had found it with, that's pretty significant. Just another little thing that shows that this was serious right from the beginning.

And it also makes you look at the timeline with a different perspective.
