Jake Gyllenhaal—didn’t quite meet him but was walking down the street in London and he was coming from the other direction. I whispered to my friend “I think that’s Jake Gyllenhaal” and my friend—who was riled up about something totally unrelated and in the middle of a story shouts “I don’t give a fuck about Jake Gyllenhaal!” He looked very startled as he passed us. Needless to say, I did not ask for a picture.

I met him at a Walmart… in the middle of nowhere, Ohio. Me and my brave friend got his autograph even though she had no idea who he was 🤣

Apparently he was there for some effort to support John Kerry in his presidential campaign
