Shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal shows off his jaw-dropping muscles while filming the Road House remake

Jake Gyllenhaal flaunted his seriously ripped physique on Saturday when he filmed a shirtless scene for the Road House remake.

The 42-year-old actor plays a former UFC fighter who takes a job as a bouncer in the Florida Keys and “soon discovers that all is not as it seems in this tropical paradise,” the synopsis reads.

He showed off his washboard abs and bulging muscles while wearing skintight black shorts in the ring.

A referee then stopped Jake after knocking down his opponent, 46-year-old mixed martial artist Jay Hieron.

Jake was then sprayed by a crew member for the look of sweat while filming during the UFC 285 mixed martial arts event.

Character: The actor, 42, plays a former UFC fighter who takes a job as a bouncer in the Florida Keys.

Before stepping into the ring, Jake was seen laughing in the front row of the crowd with Conor McGregor.

It comes after Jake was seen weighing in on the podium when a clip of the actors’ filming was released.

The Ambulance star flexed his awesome arms and roared at the crowd, exhibiting a great deal of macho angst.

In the video of the scene, Gyllenhaal’s character is billed as ‘the challenger’ as he leaps onto the stage and strips off his sweatshirt, revealing his stunning body.

Sporting a full six pack, pronounced pecks, and sculpted arms, the A-list heartthrob certainly looked the part as he glared down at his opponent.

Jake met Hieron in the middle of the stage, where they engaged in inaudible chat before Gyllenhaal landed a fake slap.

Taking the mic, the Brokeback Mountain star said: ‘This son of a bitch just makes me laugh, because he’s a FUCKING JOKE! Come on. Just give me the belt. just give it to me Give it to me.

Hieron’s character wasn’t too pleased, calling Gyllenhaal’s fighter ‘a fucking bum’ and saying, ‘I promise you that’s the only hit you take. I’ll put you to sleep tomorrow night.

In an interview with Good Morning America last year, Gyllenhaal discussed the remake and the late Patrick Swayze, who starred in the original 1989 hit film.

Ripped: He showed off his washboard abs and bulging muscles while wearing tight black shorts in the ring.

Fight: Jake was held by a referee after knocking down his opponent, 46-year-old mixed martial artist Jay Hieron.

Oh! Jay also took a few hits before going down.

‘Those are big shoes to fill,’ he said, ‘but Patrick was a friend when he was here. We did a movie when I was quite young called Donnie Darko together.

Gyllenhaal was 21 when he was shooting the 2001 sci-fi fantasy film with Swayze: “He was always so loving and loving to me.

“I take it very seriously playing the part and there are some things I take from it, but overall we made a whole new movie and I’m very excited about it.”

Although the film is a reimagining of the original project, he said there are still elements from Swayze’s version.

The Road House remake will be released in 2023.
