Mysteries abound in this wild world, but we can all check one item off the list of shrouded details: Jake Gyllenhaal is circumcised.
We never said the revelation would be of any practical use, but it’s out there nonetheless.
The revered actor shared the news during a wedding toast as his childhood friend Chris Fischer and comedian Amy Schumer tied the knot.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The marriage took place back in 2018, but the video is included in the just-released documentary Expecting Amy on HBO Max.
Presented in three parts, the docuseries follows Schumer’s pregnancy with her first child, Gene, who was born on May 5, 2019.
But back to the wedding toast…

Said Gyllenhaal:
“We’re going to start this off with Chris being the only uncircumcised one amongst the four of us, which was a mystery to us as young boys because we only knew the penis to be one way.”
And now you know.
The Oscar-nominated actor will soon star as cartoonist Alison Bechdel’s gay father, Bruce Bechdel, in a big-screen adaptation of the Tony-winning musical Fun Home.

Isn’t Jake Gyllenhaal’s mother Jewish? He also considers himself Jewish, as does his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and even performed a bar mitzvah without the trappings at 13. It is a personal revelation but not that surprising. Anyways, hood or no hood it’s all good!

I thought he was going to announce that he was gay. Doesn’t matter either way of course. I’ve always like Jake Gyllenhaal. Met his sister and she was so sweet, forthright and friendly.

NO NEEDS TO STATE THE OBVIOUS. I WORKED ON THE STAFF OF BROKEBACK AND HIM AND HEATH WERE VERY INTO EACH OTHER. I WAS THE CAMERAMAN FOR THE IN TENT SCENES.

Paulmodibe if that were true, you wouldn’t call yourself a ‘cameraman’.

A few years ago I read an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal when he said his sexuality was fluid (or something akin to that). He said he could see himself falling in love with a man just as easily as with a woman.

A Jewish man is circumcised? The only person in the world shocked by this is Michael Lucas.

Sarcasm? Really?

I can now rest at night knowing this.

I’m going to need visual proof.

The man is just plain handsome, damn.

He peaked with Donnie Darko.

How very very long ago did you peak?

I haven’t heard anyone mention Donnie Darko in a while. That’s such a great, troubling movie. Gyllenhaal’s performance in it is one of his best.

Hey paulmodibe, I am glad to read your comments about the relationship of Gyllenhaal and Heath. I saw the movie and I became convinced that there was a lot more than two actors being damn good in performing their roles. I wonder if Heath’s death was his way of dealing with his sexual orientation. Australia is a very conservative nation and being a LGBTQ person would have been something that Heath could not accept.
If what I speculate is true it is another example of the harm that people who pretend to be very religious are doing just because they are unwilling to think or to try to find out facts on subjects that they have been conditioned to ignore, or reject. Not only are people harming, or killing themselves, but others (such as Kian Willis, 21, of Brockton) to not be outed or like others who kill out of angry.

Jake and his sister, Maggie, are so talented and gracious. Never a hint of negativity or scandal around either one of them. They just go about their business making great movies without any contrived controversy.

It’s their upbringing, their parents raised them to be the wonderful, thoughtful people that they are.

Cut or not,as long as it fits in my mouth I’m happy..too thick you get a jaw ache trying to wrap your mouth around it..though to be honest I’m more excited about the fact that there’s going to be a movie version of FUN HOME THE MUSICAL, since I don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of landing Jake anyway, lol.
Troysky
Do a search on “toothy tile” …….oh boy. ….Jake is dreamy whether he comes out some day or not.

What a man, what a man, what a MIGHTY GOOD man!
Extremely convincing in Brokeback Mountain, too. He’s got my vote.

I just watched the trailer again. I did see the movie once. I need to watch it again. I forgot how beautiful the score is, and how beautifully those two did that movie.
