Where is Jake Gyllenhaal?

Jake GyllenhaalJake Gyllenhaal has yet to be seen or heard from since the death of his close friend, Heath Ledger -- and people on the set of his new film are working hard to keep it that way.

Gyllenhaal is in New Mexico, currently filming his new movie, "Brothers." We're told there are no plans to shut down production, but Jake is very upset and doesn't want to talk to the media -- so the set has been closed to non-crew members and extra security has been hired.

Jake is the godfather to Heath's daughter, Matilda Rose.

62. Never fails to amaze me how such trajedies can bring out the most vulgar, rude and inappropriate comments.
Respect is a learned behaviour, which somehow bypassed some of the people on this comment board.

Jake, with quiet respect, a warm hug and sincere condolencenses to you, Michelle and Little Matilda, and Heaths grieving family. There are never enough words to express with all sincerity how sad we all are for your loss. I know I am saddened by the loss of so many wonderful things I am sure we would have seen from this precious young man in the future.
Thoughts, Prayers and many tears to all of you.

64. I have to agree that Heath would have not appreciated all this media. Poor Jake just lost a very good friend of his and is probably still in shock and of course extremely upset. Please leave him alone to grieve and mourn this terrible loss in private. There is probably nothing worse than trying to grieve and having to share that with the entire world when you'd rather be left alone. Matilda is in very good hands, we all know how sweet of a guy Jake is and that he will help Michelle take very good care of Matilda,

RIP Heath.

65. Where is Jake Gyllenhaal? At a guess, I'd say trying to come to terms with the sudden and tragic loss of a close friend. Leave him to grieve in peace:(

66. i'm not a person who is terribly enamored by celebrities; i find many of them to be shallow self-obsessed morons. the simplicity in the way he lead his life was a refreshing change from the norm. perhaps that is why there seems to be a very public outpouring of emotion because of his death.

67. I knew the scared, closeted little homo would be in hiding when Heath died. I guess Austin is pleased, eh, Jake?
Jake G aka Toothy Tile is a sad excuse for a human being. Heath was worth a hundred Jakes. Will it be too much for you to step up to the plate and be a real godfather to Tildy now? Guess so. You're too busy trying to convince what's left of your fanbase that you're straight.
I HOPE IT'S YOU THAT CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT NOW, JAKE!

68. Jeez! AndI was so sure that the *first* thing on Jake's mind would be calling Miss Harvey and Her Merry Band of Ghouls.

Get a frickin' grip, girls!

70. NO RESPECT FOR JAKE. NONE.

71. For God sake,what does anybody expect??!! Jake has just lost a beloved friend. The press,the same press who beseiged Michelle and Matilda on their home-coming to New York,will doubtless claim the usual pathetic excuse that they are "just doing their job", when they try to get a photograph or a comment from a man who is understandably distraught and coming to terms with an absolute tragedy! All of you,press,religious nutters claiming it's retribution for starring in "Brokeback",paparazzi bastards trying to make a fast buck out of people's misery (yes,remember,these are real human beings you are persecuting) - just back off!!
Heath got a raw deal from a large section of the press in life - have the decency to leave him alone in death. I just pray for Jake,Michelle,Matilda and all who knew and loved Heath that they find a way through this desperate time.

72. Where was Jake when his best friend was going through a horrible time that ultimately led to his death. Jake was filming.
Where is Jake now? According to this report, Jake is filming.
Jake only cares about his Hollywood image. He does not want his fans to know he's gay. He's distanced himself from Brokeback. And, despite still having a sexual relationship with his longtime boyfriend, Austin, he's running around with Reese trying to look straight.
In the end, Jake was not a good friend to Heath, and I'll never forgive him for it. I may be just one person, but I'm willing to bet a lot of others feel the same way about this worthless coward.

73. I'mDisgustedByJake, just shut the hell up! Your obsession with Jake's sexuality and your nasty, judgemental attitude about his relationship with Heath is pathetic. You are the one that is disgusting for trying to exploit internet rumors as a basis for fact. You know nothing about Jake, his sex life, his relationship with Heath or anything else, so leave him alone, disgusting idiot. Unlike you, Jake's real friend just died. Respect his privacy.

Posted at 8:17AM on Jan 24th 2008 by Leave him alone

74. I am NOT using internet rumors to form my opinions.
Hey, Jake, do you still have the crystal hyppo, or did Austin make you toss it?

All you Jake-ASS lovers, don't you worry. Jake will come out of this unscathed. He has his powerful Hollywood family behind him.

RIP Heath
