Who's More Your Type: Tobey Maguire or Jake Gyllenhaal?

December 4, 2009

In the movie Brothers (out today) Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal play two brothers in an intense battle for the love of Natalie Portman's character. After Tobey's character goes missing in action in Afghanistan, his wife, played by Natalie Portman, gets very close to her brother-in-law, played by Jake. As you can imagine, things get pretty complicated when Tobey's character returns home unexpectedly. But let's keep things simple for our sake: if you could have your pick between both of these actors which one would you choose?

No one. Toby is not so un-attractive as Jake but he doesn't do a thing to me either.

I find both of them attractive. I would have to flip a coin!

I voted for Jake, then realized why: big blue eyes, strong nose, nice beard....hmm. He looks like my boyfriend!!! Ha!

Tobey is a vegetarian like me and I feel like I would relate to him more. I'm not really physically attracted to either, maybe it's the age difference, but I like Tobey as an actor more than Jake.

I think Jake is really attractive, but I don't care for the picture above. Especially liked him in Jarhead. But isn't he with Reese Witherspoon? I guess it could be a cover. I just don't know why he'd be with her if he were gay.

Tobey, but only if you really made me choose. Neither are my type at all.

I'd take Tobey (in this role only, and on the basis of just having seen the trailers) -- I like the thin guys, they seem more vulnerable ...

Random but..I can't believe Tobey is in his mid-30s!! I always thought he was like 5 yrs younger.

If Tobey could just wipe that douche-tacular half-stoned smirk off his face, there would be some improvement....

Actually in this case they're both completely my type. Although I would have loved to have played opposite Jake in Broke Back Mt. lol

I don't find either particularly attractive, but I'd have to pick Jake between the two. By the way, hasn't he been dating Reese Witherspoon for two years now? Me thinks he's not gay.
