To have a crush on Jake Gyllenhaal?

[Battygirll]

It's ridiculous. I've developed a ridiculous crush on him

I don't know how it started... now, I'm like an obsessed teenager, watching all his films, collecting images...

Please tell me I'm not the only one with an absurd celebrity crush!

YANBU. I've had the total hots for him for YEARS!

Jake Gyllenhall is not my type in the sense that he's obviously handsome but something slightly 'off' about him.

Yes, I'm sure he's devastated.

However, all's fair in celebrity crushes so swoon away!

I don't get the Cumberbatch thing...

Gyllenhaal looks hot as fuck on screen especially in his Stetson in Brokeback Mountain.

@Battygirll

same

BC looks like a dead fish. good actor, no doubt, but I don't see how he's remotely good looking.

Pretty sure he's gay - but crack on.

It is not in the least absurd to have a crush on an actor. It's one of the things that keeps old ladies, and young ones, going. Jake G, Matt D, whoever. (Somewhere, in a flat place, I still have the Kevin Costner calendar of 1992, and my very old friend has a thing about James Norton.)

@GiantHaystacks2021

Yes, I think he is is the closet. He likes a beard and not just the one growing on his face.

I've already searched for him on Blind Gossip to investigate this

I don't blame your friend. James Norton is lush. Very lush.

He's young enough to be my son, but never mind.

Why would him being gay make any difference to someone having a crush on him?

I’ve got a ridiculous crush on Paul Rudd at the moment, which sounds similar to yours, in its intensity. I also have no idea where it came from.
You wouldn’t think I’m a professional mother of 2 the way I’m watching ANYTHING he’s been in right now (and there is some shit stuff).
My DH commented the other night ‘he seems to be in everything at the moment’ because all that’s on Netflix and our Amazon prime is his stuff 😂

exactly

although I do want to pick Ricky Martin up on his "I don't care if it takes my whole life to find her"🤬
liar, liar, pants on fire
I can't believe he stopped looking for me😭😭

I’ve loved him since Donnie Darko when I was 17.

He’s funny too. I like his interviews.

@LuckyAmy1986

I agree and think it is very sad that anyone has to hide their sexuality in this day and age.

However, in Hollywood, coming out can amount to career suicide.

JG's PR people are keen on "random" photo shoots of him walking around town with his latest "beard".

As far as how it affects women fancying him, well, look at George Michael. Had he come out, it would have ruined the teenage dream of me his female fans that they would have a chance with him.

I'm not really that taken by him in photos, but I watched his episode of 'Inside the Actors Studio' and couldn't take my eyes off him.

And yes to whoever said Paul Rudd!

@DonttouchthatLarry

Paul Rudd - is he Phoebe's boyfriend in Friends? He seems so lovely.

JG in The Actor's Studio? Might have to look that up I have tried already, but no luck so far

I generally think he's totally sexless and a bit bug-eyed. Yet I find him super hot in Love and Other Drugs - guess he must be a good actor! He was great in Nightcrawler. I've also wondered if he's gay.

He's gorgeous

Paul Rudd in Clueless is fabulous. I never got the Jake Gyllenhaal thing- but just saw him in The Guilty and he is v v v handsome.

Oh no! He reminds me of the cowboy from toy story

He's not my type, but then I really like Owen Wilson.
I think I've probably got weird taste.

I don't like Jake Gyllenhaal, but you're not alone with the intense celebrity crush. I have always fancied George Harrison. I can waste hours of my time just watching Beatle videos and gazing at him. I've got pictures of him up round the house, people must think I'm insane but I don't care, I love him.

Never heard of him until I saw this thread.

Weird mouth.

Paul Rudd - is he Phoebe's boyfriend in Friends? He seems so lovely.

Yes - Mike

If Paul Rudd should would be the face of an anti-aging product campaign I'd buy a shot load.
the man doesn't age.
Prince Paris, Mike or Antman - I luffs him!

@ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba I totally agree, if he started a skin care range he would be a billionaire. He’s radiant!
