Jake Gyllenhaal's crazy transformation for role in Southpaw.

Jake Gyllenhaal has been know to physically commit to roles much like Christian Bale and Matthew McConaughey, and he's proven it once again by putting on pure muscle for his upcoming role as a Boxer in Southpaw. Gyllenhaal had just last year dropped 20 pounds to play Louis Bloom in Nightcrawler.

To play the lead in Southpaw an upcoming movie about a boxer who fights his way to the top only to find his life is destroyed in the process, Gyllenhaal had to gain back that weight and put on extra muscle. The amount he gained is still unknown but I'm sure with the coming promotions and interviews for the film, he will more than likely be asked on the matter. The folks over at Deadline Hollywood had the first look at Gyllenhaal's character and it's safe to say he's crazy ripped. Now that is commitment.
