Jake Gyllenhaal's Lawyers Taking Legal Action Over 'Fake' Photo

Jake Gyllenhaal's attorneys are taking action against web-site bosses who posted a picture on the internet which appears to depict the star in his underwear.

The photo shows the Brokeback Mountain actor in tight white briefs and socks as he stretches on 1 leg in a pose resembling Grace Jones' stance on her Island Life album cover.

Gyllenhaal's legal team has fired off letters to several internet websites, which includes Queerty.com and Buzzfeed.com, demanding that the photo is removed.

The star's attorneys write, "As anybody could tell from a cursory examination, this can be a fake picture, in which our client's head has been pasted on the body of a different person", adding that it portrays him "in a false light, violating his correct of publicity and constituting a false designation of origin in violation of the Lanham Act".

Nevertheless, Gyllenhaal has a fight on his hands - chiefs at Queerty.com are refusing to get rid of the image until it's proved to be a fake: "We're keeping the photo up, given that it hasn't been proven fake and due to the fact their letter bumped it from 'funny and cute' to 'actually newsworthy.'"
