Jake Gyllenhaal is all beefy for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

I’m not really sure whether to laugh or not at these photos of Jake Gyllenhaal taken in Morocco, North Africa, on the set of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.

On one hand, Jake is pretty ripped and you ladies are probably swooning right now. The hair seems right, the costume look accurate and his overall appearance just “feels” like what you’d expect Prince Daston to look like if he jumped from the video game onto the big screen.

But it’s friggin’ Jake Gyllenhaal and somehow I’m not getting him as the Prince of Persia. All he’s ever done (at least from the movies I’ve seen) are mostly meek, quiet characters, who are introspective and thoughtful.

Not at all like a butt-kicking, sword-swinging, muscle-loaded warrior.

I’m hoping to be proven wrong, but this just looks so bad right now. There is something very wrong with these photos.

What do you men think? Are you girls hot for him, or are you chuckling like my wife did?

(the second photo also has his girlfriend, Reese Whitherspoon walking alongside him. I assume you know who she is. Although in the photo, she looks like she might be trying to hide her identity under that hat. Maybe she thinks he looks ridiculous too!)

  1. I think his face looks like a Sesame Street character. Feel free to laugh, Mike.

  2. Now we're getting topless pictures of men?

    Where did we go wrong, Mike….?

  3. yeah he looks goofy esp the hair it looks like a cheap wig even if its his real hair.

  4. I concur. This photo at the bottom is backwards. It should be Jake in a hat and shirt, Reese topless. :)

  5. I'm pretty sure you started this :)

  6. Man, I didn't know you were going to post picture after picture of a topless Jake…frankly, I'm a little disgusted.

  7. Reese Witherspoon is Jake's beard.

    Gay is OK!

  8. What's Reese getting out of it? A good dance partner?

  9. Figured it was right up your alley :)

  10. Wow… I don't think I've ever seen Jake so HOT before. Oh, no wait. I forgot about Bubbleboy.

  11. You just can't stop talking about Bubbleboy, can you?

  12. LOL! You're so funny. :)

  13. Is it me or does it look like his face was imposed on someone else's body?

  14. Are you trying to seduce me?

  15. He doesn't have the right kind of face for action or muscularity. His forte is tortured, anguished, somewhat crazy people.

    Kinda looks like a wig or something. His hair seems to sit unnaturally on his head somehow.

  16. Is it working?

  17. I think he looks absolutely disgusting. I can’t wait for this movie to be over for him to (hopefully) go back to how he looked before. NORMAL. HOT. But right now? He’s just gross.

    Feel free to laugh. I do every time.

  18. jarhead, need i say more?
