JAKE IN BLACKPOOL!

Er, apparently these shots were snapped in Martha's Vineyard. I beg to differ. This scene we have before is here can be from nowhere but everyone's favourite holiday destination (1956) Blackpool Pleasure Beach!! Where else on this great earth do you find such pasty white people, bizarre attire, and stripey wind breakers?! That's right. Only the British cart half their house with them to the beach, the dirty, dirty beach. I realise you're sceptical but view the pictures below and you tell me the difference!




Why are the Gyllenhaals vacationing in the North West of England? Who knows, but it's the boost the British Tourist Board has been praying for!

Thank the good Lord above for these lovely new pics! Jake looks like he's gained some weight...yum!

cina said...

No offense, but that Blackpool beach doesn't look too appealing....

I think it's a doppleganger. The face doesn't look right and the hiar is odd. I'm confused.

I am sorta new here so I have to ask this. Did Jake have the small "beauty mark" removed from his left top lip? I ask this because in the enlargement of these new pics I think I still see it there.

The fact that I have a towel very similar to the one he has wrapped around his delicious hips is making me slightly overexcited and unable to concentrate for the rest of the working day.

I do so love all his "parts" and that is a particular favorite of mine also. I will search to see if I can find that post. I havn't seen his face unshaven in a long time. He looks so good. I like a guy with some weight on him.

Maybe Naomi's influence makes him feel less attractive (nor I'm saying his mom isn't attractive, because for her age she's an interesting look), because I've noticed that some hunky celebrities lose a bit of their splendour in company of the parents.

The beaches here in New Jersey are made of very white sand.

Simon, Royal Pavilion? That's in Brighton. There are no white sandy beaches in Brighton, just a horrible pebbly shingly one that hurt your feet when you trod on it.

I love the beach cabañas!

In Spain, the cabañas with drinks bar are called "chiringuitos", they are spread along the sea coast.

Oh my word, he is one fine looking man!

I far prefer these casual pics (even if they are pap snaps) to those posed, pouty, clothes horse type pics of Jake that abound ... cos these are the Real Jake, and they don't come hotter than him ...

*does what Joyce did earlier*

If I ever met Tony Blair I'd kick him in the shin. Just throwing that out there. You've been warned, Blair.

An election coming up in the UK shortly or what?

We have an election in a little less than two weeks. I'm still not sure where to lay my vote... I'm so confused.

Sorry for going off topic.
Jake looks HOT! lol ;-)

Dumbo said...

What's under the towel, board shorts?

Have you seen this photo (second one) where you have a much better view? God, I love his clean shaven face, and that body hair drives me wild.

Blackpool!…LMAO Brits.

Just my luck, I could have been there, but had to decide to go to Wigan Pier instead.

Isn't this just like us? After a seemingly long spell of no Jake news at all.
We get great pics of Jake half naked, no dark glasses, without his scruffy beard, hot as that rumpled look may be, and we are still not satisfied. We want
NO TOWEL too?
Never enough
Never enough

This is true Dani. A good son might tend to "clean up" before spending time with his mom. He knows she likes to see his beautiful face and so would shave and get a haircut. My son would do that and he is about Jakes age.

i personally love these pics, especially the close-up front view ones (not posted here) where you can see he does NOT have a gut but a really nice, evenly-built torso. but i have to admit this side-view one is not flattering. but it doesn’t look like flab, (esp if u compare his stomach in the other pics) he’s just in a weird position and puffing out his stomach a bit. that said, i still love this “unflattering” pic for the hilarious background details, and in any case, i love everything about the little “imperfections” in jake’s pics , hideous towel included, because it reminds me that this man’s worst photos still rock and make me happier than the most gorgeous photos of any other celeb

Hee, mpom! It's true. There's no pleasing us.

I like bearboys... He looks so... preaty! ;D

Jake could gain 20 pounds and he'd still look better than any other males within the three buildings of the corporate office complex where I'm employed. Put it this way: He's by far the prettiest thing that Nice Anonymous is going to get to look at all day.

In one picture in this sequence, there's someone's disembodied hand reaching out toward him from the lower left-hand corner -- maybe they're going to make a desperate grab at the towel? How I wish that hand belonged to me.

britpopbaby said...

I still can't believe they didn't get a shot of him in his Speedos!

I have this image of a little wooden boat fulls of paps going back and forth trying to snap pics, rocking all over the place.

joycedavenport, I did try. Really I did. There was a promising moment, while Naomi was distracted by folding her olive-green cardigan, and Jake was earnestly perusing all the ingredients on the label of the bottle of Fruitopia that I'd just handed to him. But then Jake looked up, squinted against the sun on the water -- in an expression very much like Jack Twist's -- & said, "Jeez, isn't that rickety boat approaching awfully near the swimming area? And now I see a guy in it, standing up, with a camera pointed right at us."

And so my hand was arrested at the moment of truth, and I did not continue with my mission.

Forgive me. Next time, I'll do better.

So much for Martha's Vineyard being paparazzi free.

anyone know anything about the source? someone mentioned the possibility these are taken by fans, and i was just wonderign if that could be the case.

He looks so unbelievably, purely ADORABLE in these pictures I can't even believe it. He does look like he's gained a little weight, which is fine by me. All summer cycling, then he finally ate something. ;) What a cutie!

I've been looking at photos and movies of Jake for months now and still have not seen a bad picture, not even one. The camera really loves him.

God, don't mention Wigan Pier around these here parts. Britpop knows a song about Wigan Pier. She sang it to me often.

That towel is so goofy. It somehow makes me love him more.

"I've seen some piers throughout me years but this be a beats 'em all!"

And FYI, the grammar in that sentence is correct.

I’d love to be able to wax lyrical ‘bout Wigan, but in truth I only went for the pies!
