Jake Gyllenhaal has recently been seen in a viral video that shows him as a UFC middleweight fighter known as Elwood Dalton. He is featured in a trailer for the upcoming Road House remake, where he plays the bouncer role, looking after a dive in the Florida Keys. In the trailer, Gyllenhaal’s character goes from his UFC fighting days to taking on the job of a bouncer. He looks after the dive in his own style, which is sometimes hyper-violent. Gyllenhaal’s character is put against Knox, an antagonist played by Conor McGregor, who is a seriously beefed-up fighter.

Jake Gyllenhaal is known for his dramatic transformations in movie roles. For Nightcrawler, he reportedly ran 12 miles a day to get the leaned-out look of a coyote. For Southpaw, he worked out twice a day and gained 28 pounds of muscle to play the lead role of a boxer. Knowing this, it is interesting to explore the mass and height difference between the two main movie protagonists.
