Jake Gyllenhaal Got Stood Up!

This is one of those “Celebrities! They’re just like us!” moments. Well, just like YOU, maybe. I’ve never been stood up on a date, of course.

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal recently experienced what it’s like to be a regular Joe when he showed up to meet someone at a Santa Monica eatery and they never showed up!

From E!:

Gyllenhaal was seated at a table inside the eatery but didn’t immediately order any items off the menu. As time passed, servers kept asking the all-alone-actor if he wanted any food or drink, but he declined.

The 30-year-old Hollywood hunk waited an entire 45 minutes before finally deciding to hit the road without ever meeting up with his mystery date.

45 minutes! That must have been some good pussy.

To add insult to injury, after Jake left the table, it was taken over by Jessica Simpson and her fiance. Kinda like the restaurants way of saying, “Hey, Jake? Would you mind bouncing, ’cause even Jessica Simpson showed up with a date tonight.”

Wonder who Jake’s first post-Taylor public date was supposed to be…
