4df9/1242070894-sixpackofpersia.jpgThose magnificent bastards over at Movieline point out that Jake Gyllenhaal’s abs, which were supposedly groomed for his upcoming Bruckheimorrhage of a movie, Prince of Persia, might be fake, some sort of prosthetic six-pack. If this is true, then I look forward to a bold new future of schlubby actors with the bodies of Adonis. Perhaps Steve Buscemi can don the fake chest for the inevitable Wrath of Khan remake?

  1. That’s very funny, OA But I think I must have read the Sword in the Stone one too many times in my youth: your comment made me think of an earnest 12-year-old having to pull a sweaty block of color bars from the rectum of a waxed celebrity. Awkward.

  2. Total Fake. Otherwise, his chest is right on top of his six pack…never seen that before.

    Yay for unrealistic ideals!

  3. I don’t think Christian Bale ‘roided. When he did “Rescue Dawn” he lost a shitload of weight, and that photo of him on the couch looks like it was taken during that time. Even under medical supervision, it was dangerous. That photo of him from “Batman Begins” was before “Rescue Dawn.”

    Besides, his Batman physique looks healthy and not all weirdly bulbous like professional wrestlers’ muscles. His skin isn’t a weird shade of pink and his jaw isn’t unusually filled out.

  4. I’m pretty sure that’s actually christian bale from The Machinist, in which he emaciated himself – lost 40 lbs or something.

  5. @6 The photo of Bale is from The Machinist, where he lost a lot more weight than he did for Rescue Dawn. He did Batman Begins right after The Machinist.

  6. @6: Really? Jesus, I hope the guy didn’t wear his heart out with all those ups and downs.

    Thanks for the clarification.
