Jake Gyllenhaal looks mawkish in Prince of Persia shot

Actor Jake GysahlGreens seems to look perpetually doe-eyed and confused in every Prince of Persia shot I’ve seen. Still, here he is looking much more like the titular Prince than ever before, even if his face does resemble that of a child who just dropped his ice cream on a cat, and is watching the cat run away with it on its back.

This is the first official picture from Jerry Bruckheimer’s take on The Sands of Time. The picture is apparently available in Entertainment Weekly with much better quality, so if you’re fixing to masturbate over this, you can do it to that one. 

“I’m tired of taking myself so seriously,” says GysahlGreens. “It’s nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, ‘Actors don’t normally do this.'” 

He’s right, of course. Proper actors don’t normally appear in videogame movies.
