Gyllenhaal undergoes yet another transformation for his gritty boxing drama.
More than 35 new images have hit the web for Antoine Fuqua‘s (Training Day) boxing drama Southpaw, starring Jake Gyllenhaal as a championship boxer who must prove himself as a father and fight his way back to the top after he loses custody of his daughter in the wake of a personal tragedy.
Gyllenhaal has been on a role with his performances lately, and these pictures showcase the way he transforms himself for every film. Just thinking about the work that must have gone into bulking up his gaunt physique in Nightcrawler is impressive, and that's just the physical element. From a script by Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy), Southpaw also stars Forest Whitaker, 50 Cent, Rachel McAdams, Clare Foley, Miguel Gomez, Victor Ortiz,Rita Ora, and Naomie Harris, and arrives in theaters Just 24th.
