10 Off My Head: Getting Into Jake's Pants


Happy Day 2 of Jake Week, where we're celebrating Jake Gyllenhaal's 40th birthday this upcoming Saturday with a different Top 5 list every single day. Yesterday I shared with you a list of my favorite crazy-pants performances from Mr. G that had him flailing his psycho-stick around for our enjoyment -- well today I am going a little simpler on the one hand, in that this is an ode to the outfits his personhood has slipped into and made iconic, and a little less simpler on the other because I couldn't pick just five. I had to double it. There are too many to choose from! (Sidenote: I tried to talk about actual memorable clothes here -- the time will come for a list of Jake being naked, don't worry.)

My 10 Favorite Jake Gyllenhaal Costumes

His skeleton hoodie costume in Donnie Darko

The Santa hat & thong combo from Jarhead

His blue-shirted Brokeback ensemble

His white boxing shorts in Stronger

His blue polo in Lovely & Amazing

The Mysterio Cape!
(Spider-twink included)

The tight-buttoned dress shirts in Prisoners

The buffalo-plaid in Nocturnal Animals
(Aaron Johnson included)

The business-to-casual red suspenders in Demolition

That open cream shawl he wore
 to showcase his Persia bosoms

Runners-up: Jake in uniform in End of Watch
the Bubble in Bubble Boy, the 
art snobbery in Velvet Buzzsaw, the jean shorts in Okja

What are your favorite Jake costumes?

I feel like his legs do not get enough appreciation. Jake has such brawny legs, yet his chest, face, arms, shoulders... sorry, where was I? Oh, right. Dude has a sturdy set of stems on him is all I'm saying.

I agree with Suppa above. Jake's delicious thighs need more love. Just check them out in those tights (Spiderman outfit)
