WEIRDLAND: Abdominal conspiracy theory

Abdominal conspiracy theory

"Footage of next summer’s video game adaptation Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has popped up online, and with it has popped up some minor controversy. Apparently, viewers are speculating that Jake Gyllenhaal’s abdominal muscles, seen prominently in at least one shot, are not actually his own. Because this footage is from the set and not from some post-production house, it can’t be an airbrush job, but it might be a prosthetic plate covering up his own less-toned abs. The “conspiracy” theory originates with commenters at Towleroad and was brought to most people’s attention via Kyle Buchanan at Movieline.

"Ah, Hollywood: a place where winsome, dreamy-eyed slacker boys can go to become unbelievably shredded bodybuilders…
Sure, Gyllenhaal has bulked up before for Jarhead, but the quality of his Persia sixpack and its lack of resemblance to concomitant, shirtless paparazzi photos have provoked the internet’s most conspiracy-prone beefcake lovers to smell a rat". Source: blog.spout.com

NO, NO, NO, I do not believe this. Our Guy has worked hard to get that body. I really don't think it is fake at all, Thank You Kendra Honey, for letting me sound off.

They are jealous of his great shape, Gail, or they are too lazy to hit the gymn as frequently as Jake, lol

thanks, Gail, the same was rumoured when Jake showed his impressive body building in "Jarhead", I say less Twinkies and more exercise -I still have to practise what I'm preaching ;)
