Here’s Some Jake Gyllenhaal Workout Porn

Check out Jake Gyllehaal's hot man on man workout action

Yeah, yeah, it's a clickbaity title, but you know what, the word porn applies here. Pornography is, at its very core, material designed to stimulate a sexual response and watching Jake Gyllenhaal get into the best shape of his life for his new film Southpaw fits that description perfectly.

Southpaw opens in theaters next week and it's basically like Kramer vs. Kramer meets Rocky. In fact, it joins Over the Top as only the second member of the "performing feats of strength to win custody of your child" genre. As we all know, boxing films are a great way for actors to win Oscars. Just ask Wallace Beery (The Champ), Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby), Robert DeNiro (Raging Bull), and to a lesser extent Christian Bale (The Fighter). Even better, child custody films have won Patricia Arquette (Boyhood), Meryl Streep & Dustin Hoffman (Kramer vs. Kramer) Oscars. Add to this the fact that the film's director Antoine Fuqua guided Denzel Washington to his second Oscar for Training Day in 2001. If you'd like, you can also add body transformation movies to the list, and you can look no further than Matthew McConaughey & Jared Leto's recent Oscar wins for Dallas Buyers Club.

All of this is to say that Gyllenhaal is likely on his way to Oscar glory if for no other reason than the odds are stacked so heavily in his favor, Oscar voters will have no choice but to give him the award. In the meantime, we'll just enjoy watching him do crunches, spar with Forest Whitaker, and just generally prove that he's a hunk. Also, word to the wise: If comic book movies want to start winning Oscars, I think the only place to start would be with Kramer vs Kramer vs Batman v Superman.
