Jake Gyllenhaal Is Our Very First Hanukkah Hottie!

We know that Hanukkah is eight days, but given the fact that only five of them happen during the work week, we've decided to keep to that number when we created a list of our favorite Hanukkah-celebrating guys in Hollywood. So enjoy our Hanukkah hotties over the next week as we look back on some of the coolest things these guys have done this past year.

Jake Gyllenhaal and his baby blues kick off Hollywood Crush's Hanukkah celebration. He's had a fun little 2009 thanks to a movie, a romance and those hot stills of his buff bod released from "Prince of Persia." It seems that finally someone is giving Taylor Lautner a run for the gym, er, we mean money.

Vital Stats: Jake turns 29 in a few days (December 19) and is still going strong with his lady love, Reese Witherspoon, despite the rumors circulating that they had split late last month. According to the internets, he celebrated his Bar Mitvah at a homeless shelter so that he could understand just how privileged he was growing up in his film industry family.

What he did in 2009: This year Jake released the war drama, "Brothers," alongside Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire. And when he wasn’t romancing his brother's wife on the big screen, he was busy romancing his lady, Reese, and the masses with his boy-next-door charm. What else did we learn in 2009 about Jake? That Kristen Dunst admitted that she'd like to see her ex one more time. Who could blame her?

What he's up to in 2010: Speaking of his abs, Jake is set to release his shirtless-freindly flick, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," next year and he's got a slew of other projects in the can, including "Love and Other Drugs," with Anne Hathaway, as well being attached to the remake of "Damn Yankees."

Does that role also require him to not wear a shirt? We hope so!

Come back tomorrow when reveal our second Hannukkah Hottie — one who had quite the "Summer" this past year.
