Jake Gyllenhaal is the Shirtless Prince of Persia

Jake Gyllenhaal channels his inner brute and shows off his newly buff body on the set of his latest movie, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, in Morocco, North Africa on Monday morning.

The 27-year-old actor, who has an entire mane of hair now, held hands with his actress girlfriend Reese Witherspoon. The couple spent the the weekend at the exclusive luxury Moroccan hotel Amanjena. Gyllenspoon grabbed lunch on Saturday at a Moroccan restaurant followed by a tour of the local sights.

In the film, Jake will play Dastan, a young prince in sixth century Persia who must join forces with Tamina (Gemma Arterton), a feisty and exotic princess, to prevent a villainous nobleman from possessing the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.

I dunno. The Prince in the original game had a more…juvenile physique. Strong and athletic, but not this greatly buff. While the face, hair, even Jake’s expression show the mark of a good Prince character (if they wrote the dialog right…), he looks quite a bit older and just…unnatural. I wonder if they’re making the Prince in this movie older than his game age? It wouldn’t be unheard of, but it has me thinking.

does any one where exsactly in morocco is he?

i think they r in ouarzazat,but i’m not sure,normaly historical movies are made in there..

morocco is amizing i think the couple r enjoying the life in there,it’s pretty amizing,
the food the colors the people waw,,i love it..

How stupid are all the people who think this is all his real body? You can see the lines where the rubber is glued to his torso.

Stupid idiots. They shouldn’t have bothered he looks fugly as hell.

John Abraham should be the Prince of Persia…

wth did they choose Jake Gyllenhaal over John Abraham???

then again…why am I complaining Jake is shirtless. good enough 4 me!

syrrrrraaaa @ 08/12/2008 at 9:54 pm

I think they should’ve picked omid djalili for this part, perfectly suited persian for this role, here’s a link for those that dont know him

I think it’s fail.

I prefer clean Jake, but I think he is still hot in this way!

umm steroides??????? but still hot

The studio already knows that it has a bomb on its hands. They’ve already delayed the release to 2010! They useed the excuse of the heavy competition next year, but if that was really teh case, the would have just moved it forward, or back a few weeks, not a freaking YEAR!

The execs must have gotten a glimpse of Donnie Darko in Neanderthal Drag, and knew that they had a stinker in the oven.

They should have given Orlando anything he wanted to sign for this movie. Jake looks like a cheesy wrestler, not an acrobatic swordsman.

WORST CASTING EVER!!!

Yeah his torso has funny wrinkles in it. Something glued there or male cellulite? His hair looks icky dirty and overall, not a good scene. Jake has looked good in other pictures, not here.

No Way should they have cast Jake. He’s not remotely the right guy for the part, looks or talent wise. Hell, Oded Fehr would have been a better choice!

I am so upset about this I don’t know what to do… First off, Jake Gyllenhaal, while I liked him in DONNIE DARKO and JARHEADS, is absolutely WRONG for the Prince of Persia. One of the most terrible decisions of casting in recent memory. Secondly, me being a huge fan of the Prince of Persia series, I have no idea why it looks as if they are starting off with more of the look from the second game in his costume. The first game, which was the SANDS OF TIME, was not dark or gritty like the much less appreciated WARRIOR WITHIN, and it’s obvious that that is more of the look they are going for with these first pics which is really discouraging. On top of that, why does he look so absolutely ridiculous in this whole little get up?!? I was very much looking forward to this picture, but with the casting of the prince and these pics I really don’t know… Looks like another potential failure of video-game to movie adaptations.

doesn’t look very persian for one. and i think the prosthetic abs (for some sort of injury I assume (hope)) looks a bit off. probably just the lighting though. but he still doesnt look very persian.

oh my gawd @ 08/13/2008 at 7:03 am

JAYZUS! Look at that bod. I’d definitely take him. And the hair is smokin. Yum! And he’s unwaxed. Gawd, this is going to be better than Jarhead, bod-wise–and that’s hard to pull off. Can’t wait!
(Reese, you are the lickiest woman in the world! Tap that for some of us!)

HAS NO-ONE SEEN THE ARTWORK OF BOLLYWOOD SUPERSTAR JOHN ABRAHAM AS THE PRINCE? HE WAS ROBBED! HE IS OF PERSIAN DESCENT AND FABULOUS! WHAT IS GOING ON???

Are they making his hair look like a wig on purpose?!?

awful awful awful

Bloom would have been so much better.

You chicks are screwed up who think he looks ****! Go back to your little scarf wearing pretty boys that hold your handbag while you are shopping. It is great to see the real man coming back!!!

FAKE AND PHONY @ 08/13/2008 at 9:17 am

Geez, Jake looks awful!

PAPARAZZI IN MOROCCO DESERT ????

After 100 Jake and Reese photo oportunities we have a PROOF that REESE WITHERSPOON USES PAPARAZZI to promote her little fauxmance.

How pathetic!

LOL

LOL

LOL

TOO MUCH STEROIDS

he looks like the prince enough to warrant him to play the role but will he do it good? hell it’s not even on him will there ever be a good movie based on a game but this and maybe the halo project could change that.

The Hollywood leathers decided to put the prostitute that sleep with them in this film.

It is ridicolours!
This men looks like a ridicolous write dirty write american not a persian! The special effect must make miracle to tranform this prostitute men.

Reese Witherspoon looks like the mother of him. She became old every time more and more…Propably she gave money for this production too.

Poor Marocco and decadent Hollywood!
Jake Gyllenhaal is an unfortunatly and unhappy person with this film and his decadent personal life!
