picspam series 3: jake ryan
Words cannot describe how much I love Jake Ryan, the most perfect fictional high school crush ever.
If you don't know who Jake Ryan is ... first of all, shame on you. Secondly, read this article. Apparently, I'm not the only girl whose dating life has been ruined for eternity because of him.
Because sadly, Jake Ryan does not exist.
But such is life.
Now, you know me. I love to swoon over hot boys and the characters they play. That's why, at the request of raya_of_saturn, I bring you the third picspam in the series.
Super 80s heartthrob style.
I hope you enjoyed it!
If you're wondering what ever happened to the actor who played Jake, the article I linked to above had this to say:
Finding Michael Schoeffling isn't nearly as easy as finding his fans. He did eight movies after "Sixteen Candles," none of them a big hit, the last of them in 1991. He played small parts, mostly as the hunky love interest.
He's 43 now and, last anyone heard, lives near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., where he owns a hand-crafted furniture business. (Yes, Jakettes: He's a carpenter. He works with his hands. In his last interview, in 1991, he was happily married to his wife, Valerie. Their two children would be teenagers now.) He's unlisted, and other Schoefflings in rural Pennsylvania won't help inquisitive fans. GQ magazine looked for him in 2002, and gave up, calling him "the Salinger of male model/actors."
