 :) I sure have noticed!! :o

The first time I saw BBM in the theatre, I was completely mesmerized by Jake's eyes.
I don't know whether it was that particular theatre or just the sheer magnetic beauty
of them, but I was literally blown away. I think that some of their brightness was the
angle of the shots, but regardless, they are breathtakingly gorgeous!!! :D

He does have gorgeous blue eyes.

Did you know he wears contacts?

Yeah. I agree, chefjudy. I couldn't help when I was watching BBM that I was was awestruck at how dreamy his eyes are. I mean, his eyes are like the same as the sky. I mean, they're unbeliavably beautiful. :)

Btw, I didn't know he wore contacts, _dev. Of course, there were some photos that looked like he was wearing them. But hey, I guess they're probably prescription or just decorative. ;)

I was just Googling Jake's Mother (Naomi Foner-Gyllenhaal) to find out more about her political/ social interests and found myself briefly looking at her imdb trivia page.  It was completely unhelpful on the topic of her social interests.  But, it did cause me to learn that Paul Newman is Jake's godfather!  Somehow I didn't know that before.  I knew about Jamie Lee Curtis.

I wondered if he did.I have seen thousands of eyes in my occupation, and Jakes sometimes look suspiciously like blue contacts to me.Just before I moved here,there were some new coloured lenses hit the market. They were simply amazing, not just a solid block of colour, but with a darker rim, and several different hues, just like a real Iris.

Yes, in an interview he said he wears contacts, he is short sighted, but i don't know if also coloured. It's possible, maybe to enhence the blue of his already beautiful baby blues. :)

I had read about Paul Newman.  He (race car driver) apparently taught Jake to drive!

I keep wondering why Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal's imdb page doesn't mention whether or not Maggie has godparents (or the like).

Perhaps she has, but they are just (non-famous) family members, or ditto friends of J&Ms parents, ie. not someone that the crowd at IMDB would find interesting to know about. As opposed to Jake's star quality godparents team, which makes for a good story or an interesting tidbit in articles about him etc.

Have you checked Maggie's own page, btw?
