JAKE Gyllenhaal endured six months of “pretty heavy training” to prepare for his new movie Prince Of Persia.

The hunky actor — plays the lead role of Prince Dastan in Disney’s upcoming movie, which is based on the video game of the same name — says it took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to bulk up for the role.

“How did I get so big? Let’s get straight to the important questions!” Jake said.

“Six months of a lot of really functional training. It’s not really about getting bigger or stronger. It wasn’t about sitting in a gym trying to look good.

“In order to be a warrior fighting in all these scenes and to actually fight with these people and have legitimate fun in the movie, it required six months of pretty heavy training, as if I were fighting, as if I were jumping up and down and grabbing things. “I mean, it was really fun stuff.”
