Breakfast With Jake Gyllenhaal
“I was eating breakfast in a very popular diner in my neighborhood with a friend. It is not uncommon to share larger tables with strangers to keep things moving. It was a busy day and we had just got our food when in walked Jake Gyllenhaal. He was dressed in exercise-type clothes and a baseball hat, but definitely not trying to hide. He scanned the room looking at the seating and said to the hostess that he may just do takeout.”
”Without hesitation, I stood up and offered him the extra seat at our table. He walked right over, sat down, thanked us, and ordered food. We had such a pleasant, friendly, fun conversation about the city (he was in town shooting a movie). Once we all finished we paid for our food individually, walked out together, and he hugged us goodbye. I got home and just laughed for hours about how funny and random that encounter was.”
