Jake called in to On Air With Ryan Seacrest today to discuss ‘Southpaw’. Listen to the interview below!
Jake Gyllenhaal could be any early-30s urbanite. He is sitting in front of me wearing a plain white T-shirt and huge pillowy Nikes, and with a semi-wildman beard and gleaming eyes. He may look normal now, but in his new film, Southpaw, a boxing movie in which he plays a troubled brawler called Billy Hope, he is a huge and sculpted light-heavyweight, a slab of murderous muscle.
The remaking of his own body is becoming a Gyllenhaal signature. His physique in Southpaw is a shocking leap from the skeletal Lou Bloom in Nightcrawler, the sulphurous LA noir about a ghoulish journalist selling footage of freeway pileups to TV news shows. “This transformation,” declared the film’s distributor Harvey Weinstein at Cannes, “is amazing.”
Weinstein was appearing onstage with Gyllenhaal to fire the starting gun for the 2016 Oscars race, telling guests the actor would have his full support in awards season.
