Jake Gyllenhaal spoke exclusively in a British accent while shooting his latest film.

The 29-year-old actor plays the lead in upcoming action movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. He had to put on an English accent for the role, and was so keen to give his best performance, he stayed in character from the day shooting began to the day it ended.

“Jake would chat with crew and visitors in a British accent,” a film set source said. “It was funny to hear this American guy talking in an accent when he wasn’t shooting. He took it very seriously.”

Jake bulked up for the film, following a strict diet and exercise regime to make sure he looked good in his skimpy costume. He was so thrilled with the way his torso looked, he spent most of his time walking around with his shirt off.

“It’s a very physical role. He was very proud of the way his body looked. He was constantly shirtless,” the source added.

Jake Gyllenhaal embodies an action star – literally – in his new movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, according to his costar Gemma Arterton.

“He has so much action, but he does really well at it,” Arterton says in a video promoting the movie, due in theaters May 28. “He’s a bit of an action figure himself, I think.”

Gyllenhaal, 29, who plays the Prince of Dastan, definitely has an action figure physique for his role.

In the flick, Gyllenhaal’s buff character joins forces with a princess, Tamina (Arterton), in medieval Persia to fight a furious leader who is trying to destroy the world by stirring up a devastating sandstorm.

“She realizes that his destiny is actually part of her destiny,” says Arterton, 24.

But does Gyllenhaal really believe in fate? He just might. “I think there are signs all along the way throughout our life that tell us things that we can either pay attention to – or not,” he says.

The director of Prince of Persia Mike Newell did an interview with mb.com.ph and I thought I would post this little bit about Jake:

Q: Was Jake Gyllenhaal your first choice to play Dastan and what was it about him that got him the part?

Newell: You had to have someone of a certain age. He had to have a command of the screen, which Jake obviously does and is partly what makes Jake a very interesting actor. I looked around and Jake was the first name that came into my head. And though I did meet lots and lots of other actors, I kept coming back to him.
