It appears the Nike Oregon Project has a new fan after photos surfaced of an American actor sporting the training group’s attire recently.

Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted running in a Nike Oregon Project singlet over the holidays in Saint Barthélemy, a French-speaking island in the Caribbean. His choice of footwear appears to be Brooks. The Beaverton, Ore.-based group posted a photo of Gyllenhaal sporting the Oregon Project colours with its recognizable logo captioning it: “Please help us welcome Jake Gyllenhaal to the Oregon Project.”
