Manga.... Manga?

When Jake's Prisoner co-star (and Austin's Beautiful Boy co-star) Mario Bello visted the show The Chew she talked about having the cast over to her apartment during filming for family dinner.

Bello a great cook, talked about making chicken and her mom's pasta for everyone. She mentioned that Hugh could eat anything he wanted and as much as he wanted for 8 straight hours.  When Mario asked about Jake, she mentioned that he was on a diet for another role.



Was Jake working to slimming down for Nightcrawler during production for Prisoners?  If so the dramatic weight loss was not as much of a crash plan but a long range one.

Remembering the sacrifices of some for the rights and freedoms of all.

Dishy dishing

Jake was on The Chew today with old friend Mario Batali

 and cooking up the Daily Dish or more precisely a three-for Daily Dish.

Jake and Mario cooked up a triple threat of pasta and it let Jake use some of his chopping and  cooking skills but not as much as he would liked it looked like.

You can check the whole thing here.

While Jake appreciated the opportunity to talk about the play and his two charities, Edible Schoolyards and New Eyes, not sure he appreciated all the comments about his beard.  One Lincoln too many from Michael Simon.   (And besides - Austin is Lincoln - Lincoln Booth that is -- hey whatever happened to Pedestrian the movie, big guy?)

And Jake the pumpkin head?  Too easy.
