Jake Gyllenhaal, happy with his action figures

"Talking to Empire magazine Gyllenhaal said “How did I get so big? 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 running on walls, as if I were jumping up and down and grabbing things. I mean, it was really fun stuff. “ Source: presspuppy.com

Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch & team reaching Kilimanjaro's top

"Reaching the top of 19,340-foot Mt. Kilimanjaro proved to be an emotional experience for Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch, who climbed
 Africa's tallest peak to raise awareness of the global water crisis.
Jessica Biel and Isabel Lucas attending "Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro Pre-Ascent Event" held at Voyeur on December 9, 2009 in West Hollywood, California.

"I
 walked over to Jessie and gave her a big hug," UN Foundation executive
 Elizabeth Gore, who also made the hike, tells PEOPLE via satellite phone. "The two of us embraced and
 we just cried. Every single one of us was in absolute tears."
"The temperature was zero degrees and so many people were struggling," adds 
she. "People had hurt limbs, people had altitude sickness."

Once the group of climbers – which included Ethiopian-born Kenna and 
environmentalist Kick Kennedy, granddaughter of Robert F. Kennedy – reached
 the summit, they quickly had to begin their descent".
