Just how serious is Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon’s relationship?
“I just think he loves her,” Gyllenhaal’s producer pal Ryan Kavanaugh told PEOPLE at the 23rd Annual “Salute to Youth” dinner in Los Angeles on Thursday.
Kavanaugh produced the actor’s upcoming film, Brothers, which he calls a “passion project.”
“[Jake] has obviously had his fair share of dating,” Kavanaugh says of Gyllenhaal’s romantic life. “I think eventually you come to a place where you know what you want and seeing what we saw on the set, he was certainly completely devoted to her and really loves her.”
Over the course of the film, the producer really got to know Gyllenhaal, 27. “He’s awesome,” says Kavanaugh. “He’s a true artist and a really good guy. We used to workout every morning before going on the set so he became a good friend, too.” [People]
Closet chef JAKE GYLLENHAAL is developing a new organic restaurant venture with top cook CHRIS FISCHER.
Sources claim the movie star once promised himself he’d open a top-end eatery if his acting career took off by the time he was 30. He’s 27. And Gyllenhaal, who has made regular appearances on top chef Mario Batali’s hit U.S. cookery show Molto Mario, is getting serious about cooking up a restaurant.
A pals tells America’s Life + Style magazine that Gyllenhaal and pal Fischer are looking at real estate in Los Angeles - with a view to opening their own place.
The insider says, “Cooking is his (Gyllenhaal) big hobby and his passion.” Reports suggest Gyllenhaal is even planning a summer vacation cycling tour of food-lovers mecca Tuscany, Italy with his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon - to seek inspiration for his new restaurant.
He’ll be the latest in a long line of Hollywood stars who have opened restaurants - Morgan Freeman, Sandra Bullock, Jeri Ryan, Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid are just some of the celebrities who have tasted success as restaurateurs. [NY Daily News]
Jake and his personal umbrella holder head to the set of his new movie, Nailed, in Columbia, South Carolina on Wednesday. I added 6 pictures in our gallery.
Jake Gyllenhaal is the latest name attached to the role of Dastan for Disney’s upcoming hopeful-franchise “Prince of Persia: Sands of Time”.
Latino Review has reported the studio has sent an offer to the actor for the lead role, but there has been no confirmation from the studio. The report also comes on the heels of site’s story that Orlando Bloom was not taking the role despite rumors flooding the net of his involvement.
The film is an adaptation of the mega-popular video game franchise that follows an adventurous prince who joins a rival princess on a quest to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm which could bring about the destruction of the world. [Monster and Critics]
Cameron Diaz and Gerard Butler enjoyed a double date with Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal last weekend.
The foursome met at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont hotel just after midnight for a very late dinner, laughing and joking together into the early hours.
A source said: “They arrived at 12.30am and grabbed a table on the patio. Cameron snuggled up to Gerard and rested her head on his shoulder. Jake and Reese were really cute together too, joking a lot and just very comfortable with each other.”
Cameron - who has reportedly enjoyed a string of dates with Scottish ‘300′ star Gerard over the past fortnight - entertained the group as they drank red wine with their appetisers and main courses.
The source added to Life and Style Weekly magazine: “Cameron was the centre of attention. Reese threw in an occasional wisecrack, but Cameron was really on a roll.”
However, while Cameron and Gerard were happy to let the world know they were an item, Reese and Jake - who met on the set of ‘Rendition’ last year - remained more reserved.
The insider said: “Cameron and Gerard held hands under the table, but Reese and Jake were slightly less affectionate.”
Hollywood star JAKE GYLLENHAAL has offered an insight into why he’s dating REESE WITHERSPOON - he loves strong women.
The Rendition hunk has always been surrounded by tenacious females - namely his mum, screenwriter Naomi Foner, and older sister, actress Maggie Gyllenhaal - and they’ve instilled in him an “extraordinary” respect for strong-willed members of the opposite sex.
So much so, the actor actively seeks out a similar strength of mind when he’s picking potential suitors.
He says, “Well, between my mum and my sister, I definitely grew up with a particular sort of woman. They are strong women who really know what they believe, and I like that.
“They also taught me to respect a woman’s mind. Growing up with them, I’ve always known about the power and the energy that women hold - anybody who spends any time with women knows how extraordinary that particular sex is!”
