TheLove & Other Drugsfame explained that in a particular scene fromRoad House,where he is seen taking a plate of tacos, the scene immediately cuts to black. He added that he was on a strict regime, and even“one chip” would have destroyed it all.
“If you really look. I don’t eat tacos. You see me take the plate and I say thank you and then the scene cuts you never actually see me take a mouthful. I was on a strict regimen, one chip would have done the whole thing.”
Earlier, Jake Gyllenhaal shared withMen’s Healththat the diet plan played a massive part in his transformation. It was equally important and painful as theworkout regimeneeded the actor to sacrifice sweets for the role. Although the actor had to give up a lot for the role, he never skipped any meals.
“In this case, there were things that were taken away, but I had a hell of a lot more calories that I could consume.”
The team behind the Doug Liman directorial was so passionate that Gyllenhaal’s trainer Jason Walsh and his associates formulated a new plant-based formula to drink. The actor had some issues digesting whey protein supplements, and therefore, Walsh’s formula also contributed a lot to the 43-year-old’s physique.

“I was like this is really cool but I was also just totally terrified. I was teaching professional fighters, who could really kick my a**, how to kick my a** so that people really buy it. Their ability to judge distance is unlike anyone else to be working with someone who can do that, there’s a safety to that too.”
