11. Jake Gyllenhaal and Maggie Gyllenhaal
OK! Magazine has identified Jake Gyllenhaal as one of several hot male Jewish celebs. He was born into privilege, as his father Stephen Gyllenhaal was a film director and a descendant of a Swedish noble family. But Jake and his sister Maggie’s parents wanted to make sure that their kids were brought up with their feet firmly planted on the ground.
They identify as Jewish, with their mother coming from a Jewish family that migrated to the United States from Poland and Russia. To keep with living a simple life, Jake’s bar mitzvah was celebrated without pomp or fanfare and he was made to volunteer at a shelter and have summer jobs to support himself.
