"Jake Gyllenhaal has long hair for his part in the silly video game movie Prince of Persia. I wonder what Reese thinks of it. I wonder what Lance thinks of it. Crabbie like". Source: crabbieshollywood.blogspot.com

Kendra doesn't like it so much, I usually prefer short hair for men, but is this really Jake? His look seems dramatically changed, as if it was caused by a Persian syndrome.
