Jake Gyllenhaal: Golden Globes Nomination was 'Unexpected'

Jake Gyllenhaal grabs lunch at Angelini Osteria on Tuesday (December 14) in Los Angeles.

The 29-year-old actor waited at the valet curb for his car before heading home from the Italian restaurant.

USA Today congratulated Jake on his Golden Globes nomination – then asked who his date for the ceremony would be!

“I didn’t think I was getting nominated!” Jake said. It’s going to be a long, slow burn for me. I’m not rushing into anything!”

“I was asleep. I didn’t wake up. It was pretty unexpected,” Jake added. “I got a call and then I checked my phone and I had 25 e-mails, and it was either disconcerting or exciting. In this case it was exciting.”

FYI: Jake is wearing Hoyle Jackson jeans.
