Jake Gyllenhaal made a few hundred dreams come true when he surprised fans at a special preview screening of his new film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time here in SoCal last night. After pretty much everyone was seated at the AMC Theater in Century City (one of my fave theaters, I might add), our dear Jakey poo sauntered in and sat with the crowd to watch the film … behold:
Well, that’s better than popcorn! Jake Gyllenhaal surprised some fans at a screening of his new movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time at an AMC Theater in Century City, Calif. “The crowd went crazy when Jake entered,” a source says, adding that the ladies sitting next to him seemed especially starstruck. Gyllenhaal thanked the fans for their support, then joked about a certain movie (starring Sarah Jessica Parker) that’s opening the same weekend. “This,” Gyllenhaal told his admirers as he pointed to his body, “is the real Sex and the City!”
OMG!!! I would’ve DIED!! You know, had I not had tickets for the opening night of the Glee: Live concert here in LA last night, I might’ve been at this screening … sitting right there … next to Jake … sharing my popcorn … my drink … my napkins, whatever. Le sigh. Ah well, it sounds like it was a fab time for everyone in attendance last night … those lucky bastards :/

Aww, as if he couldn’t be any more fabulous!
In my mind, it’s a cheesy fantasy that our fingers will touch as we both reach for the popcorn, he’ll yawn and put his arm around me. And then we forget the movie!
Ahhhhh!!!! I would have died! He looks SO CUTE in that picture!
I think it would have been even more amusing if no one had noticed that he had come in. But then noticed him, when it got brighter after the movie was over. That probably would have shocked them more, and I doubt anyone was really focusing on the movie with him there XD
haha I love how most of the people in the picture are women
Trent; them fighting words!
I was there. It wasn’t a surprise. It was known that he would be there to introduce the movie. He was very funny in person.
I was there it was an invitation screening and we all knew that Jake was going to be there it wasn’t a surprise.
He was super nice though and really funny in person. And after one girl screamed that he should take off his shirt he said that he was our Sex in the City.

A gossip blog sponsored a contest, Trent. Those were the winners. I saw a video and Jake was really sweet! But he didn’t stay for the screening. He joked around, thanked people, sang happy birthday to one of the girls, and then left…after giving her a birthday cake.
So all you have to do is have a Jake contest, and maybe he’ll show up! :)
