Agreed, and it's been just over 7 years since it was filmed in early 2004.

Well, look what the wind blew in!  Hi, Jenny!  8)

Jake will always get Brokeback jokes, just like Elijah Wood and Daniel Radcliffe will always be greeted as Frodo and Harry Potter.  Goes with the territory.  :)

Gyllenhaal on scene of shooting

Thursday, 14 July 2011

 

Jake Gyllenhaal was on the scene of a shooting

Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena got a front row seat to LA gang violence.
The actors, who were riding along with police on patrol in South LA, were on the scene of a gang shooting late on Wednesday.

The pair are researching police work for their roles in the forthcoming movie End Of Watch.

Sgt Angela McGee says a gang member shot a rival, who is hospitalised with a grazing bullet wounds above his lip and on an arm. Two suspects walked away and there are no arrests.

She says the actors were on patrol with 77th Street Station officers. KTTV Fox 11 video shows the actors talking while officers investigate nearby.

End Of Watch is a drama that focuses on the partnership of two police officers.

When asked about his last name recently, Jake replied that it was Swedish. For some reason, I'd always thought it was Dutch.

So does  anybody know if it's still a fairly common last name in Sweden or not? And can it be translated into something like "the Hall of the ?" ?

Also, does anybody know when his family first left Sweden for the Untied States?

Gyllenhaal is not a common name in Sweden.

The Gyllenhaals are a noble dynasti, the name is exclusive to them.

I believe it was Jake's great grandfather (or maybe great great) who emigrated to the States.

So now there are two branches of the family, one here and one in the States.

The other day I heard one of them mentioned on the radio, Lars Gyllenhaal, a historian.

Gyllen means golden. The word haal is not in use any more, I don't know what it meant back in the day.

I think there is a website over the Gyllenhaal dynasti, maybe it's explained there what the name means.
