Prince of Persia actress Gemma Arterton recently starred in the movie with dashing actor Jake Gyllenhaal; something that made her friends extremely envious of her. However, Jake isn’t the only good looking actor she has worked with.

She has starred alongside a slew of hunky actors including James Bond Daniel Craig, Sam Worthington and Dominic Cooper. However, it was her camaraderie with Jake Gyllenhaal that had all her friends’ tongues wagging hard. They often bombard her with a string of girlie questions. Gemma confesses, “They’re always asking if I kiss him. And I say, ‘Yes, I do, so there!’ They’re all wildly jealous!”

And Jake’s qualities:

1. He is devastatingly handsome.
2. He is lovely, amiable and friendly.
3. He has a sense of wit.
4. And despite mega fame, he is extremely grounded and humble.

Gemma gushes, “The nicest thing about Jake is that he’s such a lovely, funny, kind and down-to-earth guy.” Ahem….ahem….

On September 14th, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time will be released on DVD and Blu-ray. In anticipation of the release,we have a fabulous Q & A with the super hot Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays Prince Dastan in the film. He answers questions like – What was your inspiration for the movie? What sort of injuries did you get?. Find out the answers!

QUESTION: You and Gemma Arterton have great chemistry on screen in Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time. That must have helped in the scenes where your characters banter together?
JAKE GYLLENHAAL: Oh definitely! Those scenes I think were the best written and the most fun to play. They came so naturally and we shot them so fast. It was unfortunate that the ended so quickly. We might spend a month on an action scene and half a day on that scene (with Gemma). We would nail it and move on. She and I had a sort of tit for that thing. The first time we met she looked at me as though she was unimpressed and I looked at her like…’You should be! Why aren’t you?’…(joked). So that was it from the beginning, there was no acting required.

QUESTION: The weather in Morocco during filming was supposed to be so hot and sandy that it was almost like having sand in your mouth all the time?
JAKE GYLLENHAAL: It was not that bad. It was ok. It was hot but it was fun. The desert is really cleansing…the sand exfoliates your skin….and there is a nice warm dry sun and you are sweating.

QUESTION: You must have been conditioned by Jarhead?
JAKE GYLLENHAAL: I was. I make a lot of movies about turning back time and a lot of movies in the desert. It’s a very strange thing.

QUESTION: You have been Spider Man and Batman. Now in Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time you have become a sort of super hero?
JAKE GYLLENHAAL: No! I am a video game adaptation. (jokes)
