What the heck is going on here? Why is this guy so darn good looking? Jake has got it all.

First of all he is a talented , convincing actor, who can easily adapt to any role. From playing a creepy loner type in Donnie Darko, to a chiseled, spectacularly perfect looking hero man candy in Prince Of Persia, Jake seems to get lost in a good way in many of his roles.

Second, his eyes. For some reason his eyes almost look like puppy dog eyes, just on a really hot guy. Some call his gaze ‘bedroom eyes’ , I prefer to call it, if you keep looking at me I will be naked in 5 minutes eyes!

Third, he actually has a brain, Jake attended Harvard-Westlake, Sherman Oaks, California (graduated in 1998) 
Columbia University in New York, New York, he is also a Democrat, which I love, and is heavily involved in social issues and causes. So, he’s not only talented, hot, and smart, but he’s also got a heart? Oh man..can I start drooling now?

Finally, the thing that makes Jake Gyllenhaal so like able is his real world approach to celebrity. He is said to be one of the most down to Earth actors in Hollywood. He also doesn’t seem to be much a media whore like so many young actors today. This is why he will always be one of the best Hollywood has to offer. Jesus he is hot!

Jacob Benjamin “Jake” Gyllenhaal born December 19, 1980 Gyllenhaal was born in Los Angeles, California, the son of film director Stephen Gyllenhaal and film producer and screenwriter Naomi Foner (née Achs). Maggie Gyllenhaal, his sister, is also an actress, and played his sister in the movie Donnie Darko. Gyllenhaal’s father was raised in the Swedenborgian religion and is a descendant of the Swedish noble Gyllenhaal family. His last native Swedish ancestor was his great-great-grandfather, Anders Leonard Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal’s mother is from a Jewish family from New York City. Gyllenhaal’s Bar Mitzvah celebration took place at a homeless shelter because his parents wanted to instill in him a sense of gratitude for his privileged lifestyle. Gyllenhaal has said that he considers himself “more Jewish than anything else.” His parents insisted that he have summer jobs to support himself. He worked as a lifeguard, and as a busboy at a restaurant operated by a family friend.

Internationally viewed as a sex symbol, Gyllenhaal was named one of People magazine’s “50 Most Beautiful People” in 2006.He was also listed in People’s “Hottest Bachelors of 2006″. In response to mainstream press lists like these, thousands of gay and bisexual men were polled for the 2007 and 2008 “AfterElton.com Hot 100 List.” Gyllenhaal was ranked at #1 in both consecutive years.He was ranked at #2 on the Gay Wired Magazine poll of male actors who have played gay characters in movies.
On May 20, 2008 it was announced that Gyllenhaal will play the lead role in the movie adaptation of the video game Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. Production has started and the film has a current release date of May 28, 2010.
Gyllenhaal is politically active. He shot a commercial for Rock the Vote, and along with his sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, visited the University of Southern California to encourage students to vote during the 2004 U.S. Election.He also campaigned for Democratic Presidential candidate John Kerry. He has said, however, that “it frustrates me when actors talk politics; I’m political and I make choices in my movies that I think are political. I try and say things with what I do. Rightly or wrongly, young actors have all the power.” In an interview for Rendition, he remarked that “it’s a sad time when actors are politicians and politicians are actors”.

Raised in a family concerned with social issues, Gyllenhaal has campaigned on behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), an organization which his entire family strongly supports. Environmentally conscious, he recycles regularly, and said in an interview that he spends $400 a year to have trees planted in a Mozambique forest, partly to promote the Future Forests program. After filming The Day After Tomorrow, he flew to the Arctic to promote awareness of climate change.

In his spare time, Gyllenhaal enjoys woodworking and cooking. He has said, “I am not a card-carrying Buddhist, but I do try to practice mindfulness” and it is his goal to meditate every day.
