Jake Gyllenhaal and his sister Maggie were born to a into a Hollywood family. Their dad was a director and mother was a screenwriter. These two were destined to be in front of the camera. Jake started acting at a young age playing Billy Crystal’s on-screen son Danny Robbin’s in City Slickers.

The supporting rolls soon started getting better and eventually Jake Gyllenhaal got lead rolls….. and his first two lead rolls couldn’t be any different. First he starred in the cult classic Donnie Darko. Soon after – he starred as Jimmy Livingston in the comedic cult classic Bubble Boy – a spoof on the made for TV movie “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble”

It wasn’t until he played “Jack Twist” (really….that was the characters name…) in critically acclaimed Brokeback Mountain that Jake became a household name. Brokeback Mountain won a ton of awards and proves that a really great actor can in fact make you believe gay cowboys really do exist (outside the Village People)…

After the movie was release, Jake had to fend off question regarding his sexual orientation. Luckily for Jake – the move was a huge success and he went from dating women like Rilo Kiley to women like Reese Witherspoon…..

Ahhh the spoils of success….

When it comes to fine timepieces, it seems Jake prefers his watches like his movie rolls – non traditional.

Seen here, Jake is wearing the very Avant Garde Bulgari Diagono Professional Chronograph – A great watch choice for confidant Hollywood leading man..
