Jake Gyllenhaal Didn't Juice Up for Prince Role

Sexy Actor Jake Gyllenhaal is currently filming "Prince of Persia", which is based on the famous video game.

Set in medieval Persia, the story of an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world. Which is why after the prince was tricked by a dying Vizier to unleash the Sands of Time that turns out to destroy a kingdom and transforms its populace into ferocious demons.

In his effort to save his own kingdom and redeem his fatal mistake, it's up to the prince and the princess to return the sands to the hourglass by using the Dagger of Time, which also gives him a limited control over the flow of time.

Director Jerry Bruckheimer recently told MoviesOnline that we "won't recognize" Jake Gyllenhaal in the upcoming flick and insists that Jake did not go the A-Rod route in order to bulk up for the role.

Bruckheimer said: "No, he didn’t use steroids. No drugs! No drugs, he just worked really hard. Well he’s a cyclist anyway and he bikes all the time so we just had him do a little lifting, but he looks fantastic."

One thing for sure, Gyllenhaal really looks amazing as you can see from the picture shown on the right, courtesy of JustJared.com.

The movie is scheduled for release during the Spring 2010.
