Each day in December I'll be celebrating a handsome man. You may ask why, but there's no meaningful reply I can give other than: why not? They'll be revealed over the next 31 days in strict alphabetical order, so no favouritism. And you never know, I might celebrate 31 women in January...!
JAKE GYLLENHAAL, 34
As well as being extremely handsome, not to say cute, Jake is also a damn good actor. I like that he hasn't toppled into the Marvel Superhero chasm like so many other perfectly good but wasted actors (Chris Evans, Paul Rudd, Robert Downey Jr etc) and that his film choices are often brave, unexpected and altogether more interesting. Films like Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, Jarhead, Source Code, Enemy and Everest show that he picks and chooses his roles astutely. I suppose the closest he's ever got to a Hollywood blockbuster is The Day After Tomorrow, but that's not a bad film. We'll try and gloss over Prince of Persia (the only good thing about that is that it stars Jake Gyllenhaal and is set in a very hot country...)
