Is Benjamin Button Based on the Life of Jake Gyllenhaal? Maybe!
Or at least there's a valid argument for it considering the new-old pictures that I Heart Jake keeps pulling out in reverse chronological order!
Here, have a little 2009 and 2002 with your 2010.
2009:
(What I find so remarkable about these pictures is that I think Jake's walking abilities actually improve in later months. To think, we're witnessing Jake finesse the arm swinging technique that we have all come to know and love!)
2002:
So what's next? Well, at the current rate, we should see Jake popping up looking like a high schooler himself any minute now...
...and...
...as predicted...
(Except not.)
High school Jake from Hell Yeah Jake Gyllenhaal.

It was strange to see Jake without his well-trodden Happy Trail. What a baby! Like Dastan said, you make your own destiny. And Jake did a great job choosing his career and we all are internally grateful! Thanks again, PG! P.S. I "borrowed" that pic!
gyllenhaalisgr8: Internally? Hmmmmm . . . *laughing*
Freudian slip! ;D
I checked out your picture, gyllenhaalisgr8...you are so quick on the uptake!! :D And thanks (as always!) for the credit. ;)
so his day job was to teach Advanced Placement Government to high schoolers and Ethan Hawke
LMAO!
^^^ I only write the truth! ;D
I love those pictures from 2002. The look on Jake's face is priceless!
Ethan Hawke could use a lesson from Gylls. Anyone ever see Gattaca?
YEAH.
(speaking of Gattaca, JUDE LAW. <3 Oh baby!)
PG, love the Benjamin Button parallel. Too funny. Hahaha, Gylls is teaching Ethan Hawke! Love it.
KD, Gattaca was where I discovered Jude. Loved it, although it flopped at the box office, not sure why it wasn't received very well. Did you see Dr. Parnassus where he helped finish Heath's role? He was great in that as were Johnny Depp & Colin Farrell. Hard for me to watch due to Heath, but still a very wild movie.
I loved benjamin Button, but after this they definately should do a remake with Gylls. That last picture is too cute, ive never seen that before! Did you get it from his own personal collection PG?! hehe
How did you know, Sam?! We were totally flipping through high school yearbooks the other day. He got to see my National Honor Society picture, and I got this. I'm still waiting for Jake to start a website of his own to reveal all the embarrassing things he's got on me... ;D
Vanessa - Yup. I loved Gaataca, but I can see why it flopped in the box office and critics. Its appeal was sort of narrow. Jude Law was where I discovered Jude Law as well! COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT. I have not see Dr. Parnassus yet, actually. I've heard mixed reviews.
^^^ Oooh, yeah (I say, as I totally just inject myself into your conversation!). I have to agree with the mixed reviews assessment. :-/ I'm glad I saw it, but it was very hard to watch and it seemed as if perhaps they were trying too hard to finish this for Heath when his part was so, so far from being done... :(
Also, I had a mega-crush on Jude Law in college and still have the Sexiest Man Alive edition of People Magazine from 2004 with him on the cover. :) (But I've not seen Gattaca! *sad face*)
KD & PG, I will respond to that about the mixed reviews. IMHO, it would have been WAY better had it been finished the way it was meant to be. & that makes me sadder than I can even say right now. May HL rest in peace, he will always live on in my heart. <3
PG. You MUST see Gattaca. Jude Law has never looked so damn fine. The scene where he is first introduce and rolls out in his...well, I won't spoil it...in any case, all I could say was "DAMN."
I actually remember the day Heath died, and when I heard he was in the middle of making a film I vowed never to watch that film. I don't know why, but I felt it would be a dishonor to him or something. Or maybe I assessed that I could never watch the movie that killed him. IDK. I was a strange kid.
^^^ I think (know!) you were just very mature. :) I remember that day too, as it happened to be my 26th birthday and I was already not having the best day...although in hindsight the rest of it paled in comparison. I was very excited about the movie when it was being filmed because I kind of did a 180 after Jake Watch and was devoting myself entirely to the other gay cowboy. I still remember being all excited when pictures would show up of Heath on set. But now, I just associate that period with being unbearably sad, which probably goes a long way toward explaining why that movie was so hard for me...
And now that I've made everything all uncomfortable and sad, yay for Gattaca!! Consider it added to my "must see" list. :D
By taking the time to read a lot of information like this to add my insight
