Jake Gyllenhaal's Beard, Actor Sports New Facial Hair

Jake Gyllenhaal is beard-ly recognizable with his new scruffy look. The actor was spotted in Hollywood, grabbing sushi with friends.

So where's the "Source Code" actor been hiding that we've only gotten a peak at his new scruff now? His forthcoming cop drama flick, "End of Watch," is in post-production and slated for release later this year -- perhaps he's just been hard at work.

But we have to say, role related or not, Gyllenhaal's new look is a great disguise when he's looking to dodge the paps in Hollywoodland -- although, it didn't work this time.

Check out Gyllenhaal's new scruff/disguise below and let us know if he should itch or ditch his new scruff:

Recent beard pictures are the most "hot" of Jake..who is normally handsome but looks like a TIGER with that good looking, masculine, full beard. Only the "whimps" object

I have to say I don't understand the meaning of this article. Jake has been sporting that beard for a long time now and the paps has been snapping photos of his bearded face for just as long both in the streets of NY and in Hollywood. You just have to look all over the Internet to see that. I don't mind the beard but I have notice for sometime that whenever Jake does sport a full beard he seems to go out of his way to look as unappealing and unattractive as humanly possible. Here we have a guy who was just recently named by GQ Magazine as one of the best dressed male celebrities in Hollywood and yet for the last few months he's been dressing like a unkept, homeless guy. If this was always the case that would be fine. But for a long time, even in casual wear when seeing him walking down the street, Jake always presented himself as being well-groomed. Now he seems to want to look like a bum. It all seem to be a little too manipulated as if he's trying to change his "image" from stylish to rags. And the thing is he really doesn't work for him.

I have NEVER seen him look like a bum. Some people do have a CASUAL part of their lifestyle..It's not his fault the press hounds him when he is out trying to enjoy a few moments of a normal life.

OH MY GOD, he is so HOT looking with that beard. Cut the beard and I will break your arms. I want to jump on him and ride him like a mechanical bull. I'm sweating just talking about him.

Not knowing who Jake is doesn't hold any credit that he is a unknown he is not but much more shows how out of touch you are in the subject of current film. If that makes you proud then more power to ya.....................

He really doesn't look like himself.

Of course now that this picture has been plastered all over the net, the paps will be sure to be on the lookout. So much for a good diguise.
