Jake Gyllenhaal to have shredded look for Southpaw

Jake Gyllenhaal will be coming up with a shredded look in his upcoming movie Southpaw. "The amount of time you have to put into it, the sacrifice that you put into your body, it's not something that you're eager to do again. It's a huge commitment," he said. The 34-year-old actor also said that his respect for boxers has gone up a notch after realising the work required to keep one’s body in peak physical condition.

"One thing I know, and we always talk about, is whatever you put into your character, how much commitment you have to put into the movie, all of that energy is in the film. I can feel that energy when people see the film", he added.  Gyllenhaal will be portraying the role of a boxer in the film.

Southpaw is slated for release on July 24. The move has been produced by Todd Black and Jason Blumenthal along with Alan Riche and Peter Riche. The flick features Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, and Rachel McAdams in the lead roles.
