The Long Goodbye: Jake Gyllenhaal and friend part ways

Published by lolli at 8:21 pm under Uncategorized Edit This

Anyone who’s had an awkward exchange can appreciate this post. Actor Jake Gyllenhaal and recent Amazing Race contestant Mike White had lunch together today. The paps caught them post-meal and documented each second of their long, awkward farewell. Let’s break it down:

First, Mike initiates a fist bump:

which Jake mistakes for a handshake. No matter, he easily goes from paper to rock (so suave) but now Mike’s not so sure.

 By the time their hands collide, each has gone over to the other side. Oh the sweet folly of life!

The exchange ends with Mike grasping onto Jake’s fist in a gesture that says, “This unlikely friendship will last…”

 ”…because I will not let go of your hand…”

“…even as you strain to pull away.” I bet they’re glad the photogs caught every detail of what looks to be the early stages of a friendship. But seriously guys, plan ahead next time, will you? Decide on a form of goodbye beforehand, it saves a lot of trouble.
