Wow, he's yoked. But what's up with boxing movies, is there something special about boxers and fighters?

The Weinstein Company has released its first peek at the boxing drama with a promotional photo of Gyllenhaal showing off his impressive physique.

Yes, it's all steroids and Photoshop. There's no way you could legally achieve that body through hard work, free time, proper nutrition, and the best personal trainers Hollywood can buy.

He does seem to be emerging as quite a transformative actor, both in the types of roles he plays and how he changes his physical appearance to suit each role -- his "Donnie Darko" would have never crossed my mind as a potential leading actor in "Brokeback Mountain," for example. But losing and gaining weight so rapidly (while it does look like he's used at least some Hollywood "fakery" to get this most recent look) can be dangerous, even with the best nutritionists and exercise maestros on your side.

Um, really guys? That's not that big... Sure he's really lean, but that is all diet.

People need to get off this accusatory steroid bandwagon for every time an actor spends time in the gym. It is possible to build muscle without drugs ya know...

I've had multiple guys ask me what I'm taking when I'm a few months into one of my fitness kicks. It's called protein, carbs, rest and sleep.

It takes years of dedicated consistent dieting and training to put on the type of lean muscle mass Gyllenhaal built in a few months. It is laughable to suggest he accomplished this naturally.

That's not big at all. Look at how much muscle actors put on for roles all the time. Its camera angle and lack of perspective, notice he isn't standing next to anyone? These actors do nothing but eat, workout and sleep in order to achieve this look. You could do the same if you didn't have to go to work every day. I know this because my buddy was unemployed last year and had nothing better to do than hit the gym every day and take night classes. He put on something like 30 pounds of pure muscle.

Kind of off-topic, but did anyone see Christian Bale in "The Fighter?" I really thought he was a crack-head.

That guy can act.
