Don't know what it is but there is something about Jake for several of his leading ladies. There some kind of magic something there. Clearly theses ladies love their Jake.
An interview that begins in the ladies room of Man Ray restaurant in NYC actually talks about working with these three leading ladies. Older, successful and smitten by our guy Jake, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Keener and Jen Anniston. 
When Susan got her star on the Walk of Fame, Jake was there to help celebrate with her and her family. He looks like a part of the family. 
Catherine talked about Jake's natural charm in the extras for Lovely and Amazing, and how he was the main man in the female dominated film, and you can tell he won them all over and not just her. Catherine and Jake's connection on screen was completely believable in terms of their feelings in what is now popularly called a cougar and her much younger man.
Catherine got the chance to work with Jake again in Nailed, maybe one day we get to chance to see their second project and if that wink is still there.
And then there's Catherine's friend Jen, who refers to herself as his Mrs. Robinson.
Just like with the others, there is a honest affection and love for each other, but there is something different with Jen. 
Totally at ease with each other and a sparkle to that just happens when together.What is it about his connection with these co-stars? It is that feeling of safety which allows this affection to bubble up? Is the affirmations? The approval? The what?
