Jake Gyllenhaal: Celebrity Athlete of the Year

Posted Jul 4th 2006 9:00AM by TMZ Staff

Jake Gyllenhaal spends an incredible amount of time outdoors, doing more athletic activities than any other celebrity since Matthew McConaughey's jock days. Gyllenhaal's sporty resume includes surfing, biking, baseball, skateboarding... the list is a mile long.

In the last few weeks alone, the active actor spent his days working out and keeping his body in top condition with fellow actors Ryan Phillipe and "Day After Tomorrow" co-star Austin Nichols.

We compiled a photo gallery of all the activities this man does in his free time. See for yourself why we have bestowed upon him the title of Celebrity Athlete of the Year.

4. I wouldn't care if you had pictures of him doing needlepoint. I LOVE JAKEY!
Love pics of him walking his dogs, visiting with family and friends, eating, walking crossing streets, shopping, pumping gas, breathing. OK. You get the picture.
He is absolutely the most delicious, fantastic, gorgeous little munchkin (I know, he's 6' tall. SO?) I have ever seen. I want him.
