Thanks to cina, via iheartjake for finding this. It's a video version of the Gyllenhaals walking on the beach on Sunday: http://www.splash-video.com/index2.pgi. Click on click here for more and then latest videos in the top left corner. It's a few rows down. The accompanying blurb is:
"It must have been a very proud moment for actor Jake Gyllenhaal to show his father and mother on Mothers day the site for his new multi million dollar Malibu beach front house. Jake who arrived at the site with his mother Naomi and his dogs Atticus and Boo Radley (puggle) were met by his father Stephen and together they walked down the stairs and along the beach before climbing the rocks to reach the site. Jake was seen motioning with his hands to show the shape and dimensions of the upcoming house much to his parents delight. Not much is known about the lot or the upcoming construction except to say that similar lots can sell for upwards of $10 million dollars and locals have been whispering about it for weeks. Afterwards Jake who sat and enjoyed his future view with his mum and dad walked about 1 mile up the beach to discuss plans and to exercise his dogs before heading back to his car and speeding off."
I've always maintained that I don't have a problem posting paparazzi pictures on here because they're available all over the place so people are bound to see them. I also believe that there are plenty of other career options or places to live if you don't want to be followed around by cameras everytime you buy a coffee but something unnerved me about this video. It must make you very self concious and uptight to have a lense constantly a few feet away. Maybe it's because he is with his parents here that it's bothering me. I don't know...it's just weird.

Yeah, I really don't understand how they can stand it EVERY SINGLE DAY basically.
It is fun though to see Boo and Atticus run around like crazy! LOL Can't deny that.
I wanna know where he got his dogs trained, because mine would have eaten those paps in a three seconds flat. lol.
Hm.. wasn't he looking at some huge appartment in NY city? Well, he can afford both I guess..
Yeah, it is a little creepy to have a camera or video camera trained on you what seems like every second of the day. I know he realizes that it's all part of his job, but it has to be wearing thin....hence the few smiles, I think.
Atticus and Boo were ADORABLE, tho. As soon as they were off their leashes they were GONE. LOL!
I'll bet Jake is going to buy the property in Manhattan as well as building a place for himself in Malibu.
Then he will come out publicly as bi-coastal.
Millions will be thrilled.
I had no idea Jake was looking at apartments when he was in NY! But he probably can afford both as been pointed out... lol.
bi-coastal *snort* Good one!
What I couldn't stand was the guy who kept saying, "Dude, we've earned this." My ass. There's no excuse for such a blatant invasion of privacy. It's one thing when an actor is promoting his work, it's entirely another when it's freaking Mother's Day.
What I couldn't stand was the guy who kept saying, "Dude, we've earned this." My ass.
HEL-LO! ITA! I was actually hoping what the jerk meant by saying this is that Jake knocked one of them on their asses. I suppose we'd have heard about that, tho.
"Bi-coastal" LMAO!
I just saw like 10 % of it but it's obvious from the very start that they're pissed off.
I'm not sure they've understood how HUGE 'Jake Gyllenhaal' has become. I don't think anyone can imagione how it is to live like this. Doesn't matter they know people who are in the business etc etc.. We're in a moment of "we want more Jake" (as he himself stated in an interview) and then this is what it takes. He's not a Jamie Lee Curtis, he's f*cking JAKE GYLLENHAAL!
I know it's NOTE appropriate to laugh at this, but at 01:10:56.. Have you seen when poppa turns his head to check out the paps... it's done very quickly... :D It's like he thinks "oh noo, why did I do that for?!"... he´s not as used to this as Jakey is.. and besides, he's not an actor ;)
I was actually hoping what the jerk meant by saying this is that Jake knocked one of them on their asses.
Oh, how I wish! I doubt it, too, but it would be awesome if he managed to pull one over on them. I think maybe even the paps realized how personal this was and were trying to convince themselves that were in the right. Of course they weren't, but they're not generally known for their moral standards.
I don't see it. People keep saying he's so sad and dijected and miserable and angry around the pats. He always looks slightly bored or mildly amused to me sometimes, he's like "Wow, I'm so over this." but in this video he looks in good spirits. All three seem amused like "I can't believe these losers are following me and I'm supposed to pretend their not there." Don't worry about the boy so much. He's fine.
Ok. Initially I see that Naomi is hesitating wether they should pass them at all. But Jake is cool and makes her go. Then, I think Stephen is a bit uncomfortable with it while Jake (of course) and Naomi as well is playing the game. When the three of them climb up and stand still while the camera is taking stills, it's as if they 'give' them the pics they want. Naomi puts her hand on Stephens shoulder like 'it's ok'... Ok maybe I am over doing to much of interpretations here I dunno...
I have to agree with Britpop about what she wrote in her post about the paparazzi. “plenty of other career options or places to live if you don't want to be followed around by cameras everytime you buy a coffee” And Jake knows that this will happen. At the same time there is a line and although I did not see the video. It sounds as if they crossed the line by having the carmera so close and filming! That’s so mean! What do I know im that retarted I can’t even see the video! I’ll just chut up now!
The camera men weren't that close but it just gave me the impression they'd ruined the walk for them. But like squallcloud says, he can deal with it.
Anyway im sure it does not bother him half as much! He is well used to that by now! And let’s face it we can’t be happy smiley all the time, we all have our off days! I think that he look’s fine in most of the picture’s I’ve seen! It would be wired if he smiled all the time!
Yeah, I'm sure at this point Jake expects it and can deal with it. But, at what point does it become too much, for any celeb, when they're out doing normal things like strolling or buying coffee? Are 5 paps okay, but 15 are not? If they stay 50 feet away, is it okay, but would it be too much if they're 5 feet away?
Is it unacceptable if they now plant themselves outside Jake's new house or set up camp on the beach nearby with a telephoto lens focused on his deck?
All rhetorical questions, but I do think that, simply because someone is a celebrity, it shouldn't mean s/he has no right to any sort of privacy whenever s/he leaves the house. However, the insatiable appetite for photos and the possibility of big money for the paps that get a "gotcha shot!" won't stop anytime soon. There is definitely a level of creepiness to it.
I always feel, although the paps are doing the stalking, it's the magazines and agencies who are offering them so much money and the celebs use the mags to promote themselves - so who's to blame? It's a big ole circle of abuse!
I think Jake is usually papparazzi friendly. On the video a big, bald man is shown taking a picture of them almost in their face, and Jake just smiled at him when he was done.
BTW Jake should train Atticus to run papparazzis away!
I have a mixed feeling about this. I feel like this kinda does come with celebrity and that I'm sure Jake has known for his whole life what would happen if/when he became some famous actor, especially considering who his family is. On the other hand, this made me squirm just to watch it. It feels very invasive and voyeuristic and I didn't watch the whole thing. I don't know. It's bizarre and stalkerish, even moreso than regular photographs.
Yah, I was kinda like "pssst, Jakey, don't give the paps advanced knowledge of where you're setting up your beach front bungalow, m'kay?" But like brit said, it's a cycle of abuse. We're involved too. I know that when I see new Jake pics of him going to the 7 11 or buying cupcakes, I feel more complete somehow. I need some horrible asshole with a camera to get my my fix so I can't complain too loudly.
Yo, those cameras were loud as hell. Just how many of them was there?
Felt also awkward watching that video, the constant sound of the cameras and all...
Jake building a house to himself, that’s exciting, we can look at it as another “portal to the inner Jake” you know! I could imagine him being interested in architecture, I read Heath is. I see something low key with natural materials and colours and nice detailing, that would go nicely with his overall style. God I wouldn’t mind being that architect! Spending my days imagining all the zillion ways light could be playing on his skin and hair... Jake, call me!!!
beskyddaren.. how can he call you if he hasn't got your number? I mean, he could need help with that house..
Seriously.. all this about building house.. I don't believe in it. It's just speculation, so...
I'm simply not watching the video. That pretty much expresses my thoughts about it. Though I do very much appreciate Britpopbaby's resourcefulness in locating & posting it & the effort she puts into a time-consuming, non-profit venture like this blog -- let's give a big hand to the Brit! Pop! Baby!
Don't say that Katie, you're ruining this for me... ; )
I already started to invent a new architectural style called Sensualism which is based on choosing materials and colours based on how well they accentuate the inhabitants eye, hair and skin colour. Also a careful study of said customers body proportions is essential in order to create a harmonious whole.
"Then he will come out publicly as bi-coastal.
Millions will be thrilled."
LMAO!!!!!!
I think the papz are pretty close at the beginning... and also on the beach it's pretty upsetting!
He's such a lovely boy that JRM! That's Irish sensibility for you - the Brits are the same - just so happy to get paid!
I'm glad he bulked up for MI3 too but that's totally off point.
but it's not exactly as if JRM gets hunted by papz 24/7... once that happens he might think different about it!
there is a very small ammount of people who really do get followed on a daily basis! some of those almost beg for it, but to some it just happens...
I found that kinda disturbing! I guess cos you only ever see a few pics normally that you forget that the paps are there 24/7! I feel sorry for the Gyllenhaal's cos they were just trying to have a nice walk with the dogs and had a bloody audience!
Ah well what can you do it is this crazy society we live in thats osessed with the notion of celebrity! By watching the video we're just fuelling the fire! I say all this but it doesn't stop me watching!
