Pictures Jake Gyllenhaal is barely recognizable on red carpet

[yowza]

Jake Gyllenhaal has shocked onlookers with his gaunt appearance at the 17th Annual Hollywood Film Awards.
While the 20lb weight loss was for his role as a freelance crime reporter who stumbles upon the dangerous underworld of Los Angeles in Nightcrawler......

holy crap, he looks like hell!

 

[dorodoro]

Perhaps this is for a movie role? Otherwise, what the hell happened?

It says that he lost 20lbs for a movie...

 

[havocs]

he looks like he freaking aged 20 years...

 

[Maja Mirales]

He looks awful... yuck..

Might have lost a tad more weight than 20 pounds, hope he puts it back on soon cos he's not looking well!

 

[salemish]

Lol, he looks like my uncle in the last pic.

Here we have the difference between an actor and a model - they are two different job descriptions. "Pretty" doesn't get you Academy Awards.

Speaking of which, did you see Gyllenhaal in Prisoners with Huge Jackman? He did so much with that role as a man of very few words. I hope he doesn't get overlooked at Oscar time.

gosh he looks really sick. and just for a movie, and he sacrificed quite a lot...

i wish that movie is so worth it
