Shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal Ripped For New Movie "Southpaw"

Gyllenhaal, 33, gained 15 pounds of muscle to star as Junior Middleweight Champion Billy "The Great" Hope, a "lefty champ who loses everything in a personal tragedy and is forced to fight his way to redemption."
"Literally. I think (Jake) broke up with his girlfriend because he was just in the gym every day," director Antoine Fuqua recently revealed to Deadline about the upcoming film, noting: "He was training like a fighter. I had him sparring, really getting hit. I put him in situations where I wanted to see what he was made of. No one but fighters understand the sacrifice it takes to be a fighter."
