Gay Spy picture special: Jake Gyllenhaal

Did Donnie Darko make you weep? Did Brokeback Mountain melt your little heart? Did Jarhead's more… ahem… 'energetic' scenes have you reaching for the pause button? If so, you'll love our Jake Gyllenhaal picture special, which tracks the adorable actor's look from 2001 right up to the present day. We'll warn you now, Jake's approach towards facial hair isn't always bang on the money.



Jake looks all boyish in 2001's Lovely And Amazing. He was just 21, you know.



A year later, Jake appears to be taking hair-styling tips from There's Something About Mary.



Fast forward to 2004. Jake sorts his hair out, grows a bit of designer stubble and suddenly gets really good-looking.



Whatever that slice of cheese on toast said, it had to be pretty funny.



Jake rocks the manly soldier look in 2005's Jarhead. Does he need anyone to rub in some SPF 25?



Jake goes for a cycle round Malibu last summer. Hands up if you're jealous of the bike.



Jake attends the Zodiac premiere in May. Wowza!



Jake does his best impression of Cat Stevens. Before you ask, the razor's in the post.
