This's my nickname for him, my Man Crush Monday: Jacob Benjamin Gyllenhaal, or just Jake Gyllenhaal - the king of #Cannes2017

Jay Jay attended to the Film Festival once his movie was competing for the Palme d'Or - 'Okja' by a South Korean director Bong Jong-ho - and his perfect red carpet gromming got our attention and affection.

Vogue Paris agrees "The 70th edition of the Cannes Film Festival provided the latest opportunity for a grooming masterclass from the actor as he slicked his mid-length hair back dandy-style, and sported a healthy beard, coiffed casually enough to break the all-too-strict codes of an overly perfect look. Paired with a made-to-measure Tom Ford suit, it was simple American class."
Handsome and a gentleman.. how cute is he? Helping costar Lily Collins on the red carpet ❤️️
And with Lily again, at the Vanity Fair party
Lucky Emma Thompson!

I've been watching Jake from a long time.. I don't know, I think since 'The Bubble Boy' (2001). But I need to confess that I only noticed him a while ago - after watching 'Southpaw' (2015), by Antoine Fuqua - you know I can't resist a boxing movie right? haha..
If you like Rocky Balboa as much as I do, you're gonna like this one too. I recommend!

In the words of Vogue again "the astonishing results of his physical transformation for his role"
