JAKE TAKES TIME OUT WITH FILMMAKER BART

SEND TO A FRIEND

2 JUNE 2006

Having taken box offices and award ceremonies all over the world by storm in 2005, Jake Gyllenhaal has been enjoying a bit of a break from the demands of his movie career. It seems likely the heart-throb actor has some new projects in the pipeline for the months ahead, though, as he was spotted out and about with Julianne Moore's director husband Bart Freundlich this week.

Bart teamed up with Jake's sister Maggie last year on the well-received romantic comedy Trust The Man. And his meeting with the younger Gyllenhaal sibling has sparked rumours they will be collaborating on a new movie later in the year.

The acclaimed film-maker would no doubt be delighted to have Hollywood's hottest young actor star in his next production. Thanks to his award-winning turn in Brokeback Mountain, Jake has become one of the most sought-after names in the movie industry.

And his meeting with Bart isn't the only lunch date that has set tongues wagging across the pond. Newspapers in the Big Apple are reporting a romance between the 25-year-old and V For Vendetta's leading lady Natalie Portman after the pair were seen dining together in the West Village.
