These are new photos of Jake Gyllenhaal promoting his new film, Love and Other Drugs, at the New York Film Festival over the weekend. He has a beard! And no, I’m not talking about a new girlfriend, apologies to Adam Levine. I don’t even know who Jake is dating these days – it was that Isabel Lucas chick, but I haven’t heard anything about them in a while, and Jake seems to be doing an undercover player thing. Question: Doesn’t Jake seem like the kind of guy who would find his future wife on a blind date? Right?

Anyway, his beard. It’s really bushy. I’ve seen Jake with facial hair before, but never this mountain-man kind of look. Do you like it? Or do you think that with his pretty face, he just needs to shave? I’m not hating on the beard, honestly. It makes Jake look more like a scruffy Jude Law, which is never a bad thing. It also makes him older, which he might be going for. F-ck, I love a beard, I really do. I don’t think I’ve ever been hotter for Jake than right now.
