Jake's New BFF

Posted Apr 10th 2007 12:30PM by TMZ Staff

Forget Matt and Lance, Jake Gyllenhaal has a new buddy.

Jake was spotted in San Diego last week, visiting the set of HBO's pilot "John from Cincinnati," where his pal Austin Nichols plays the lead. Gyllenhaal arrived and was immediately escorted to Nichols' trailer, where they spent most of the day. Austin left the trailer only to grab some grub for the two from catering tables. This photo shows the best friends at a Lakers game in 2006.

Then, this past Saturday, TMZ spies spotted Jake and Austin in Los Angeles, having a quiet dinner at Jar restaurant. The two eluded having their pic taken by paparazzi when they escaped through the kitchen's backdoor. Reese Witherspoon, who has been romantically linked with Jake, was not present.

This is not the first we've seen of Jake and Austin -- their friendship goes back to the 2004 filming of "The Day After Tomorrow." Unlike the trio of Jake, Matt and Lance, this duo appears to be a lasting friendship.

5. Toothy Tile = Jake G.

The whole Reese and Jake thing is just free publicity for their soon to be released movie. I didn't think Reese would stoop that low.

8. Ah, another Brokeback Moment. Reese makes a fine "beard." She always came off a bit hard and cold to me. Now she can parade Jake around, get what she needs from the PR and Jake's PR people can take the heat off him for a little while longer before he comes out.

Tell me: are there any REAL men left in Hollywood? Have we diluted every man down to wimpy, soy-drinking, greenhouse gas speaking pansies?

10. I really think he's gay (not that there is anything wrong with that.) You always see him "gazing" into another man's eyes!

11. These two are adorable - they make a much more interesting couple than Jake and Reese.

13. Why are gay men hotter???

14. WOW!!! They must be like, totally , like, doing "it." Bcz, guys NEVER visit their buddies on movie sets, especially when they are both actors. And guys NEVER go out to eat with their guy friends in H'wood. So if you ever see a...guy... who's an actor...going to a film set where a friend of his is working in an ongoing series or if you ever see a guy in LA going out to dinner with another guy...they are like totally having sex. NOT!
