Little Donnie Darko is all grown up and ready to scrap in his latest film Southpaw which comes out on July 24th. Jake Gyllenhaal had to make some serious sacrifices in his personal life for this film, including breaking up with his model girlfriend so that he could spend more time in the gym.

Southpaw was originally meant to star Eminem, because the screenwriter based it on Slim Shady’s life, except instead of rapping he replaced that with boxing. So, it will have a very strong 8 Mile vibe to it.

There’s something about boxing movies that inspire actors to make massive transformations to their physiques, and also cement their status as legends. Think Robert DeNiro in Raging Bull, even Will Smith in Ali.

Jake has had a long and successful career, but could Southpaw be the one that pushes him to that next level?

He barely has enough muscle to stop his eyes from falling out. Wait until you see the after pics.
