"Over time, you get into shape...that's the result."
In the article also, it was opened that Gyllenhaal was really punched for scenes especially the emotional ones like the death of Hope's wife. While filming the intensely physical scenes, Gyllenhaal said "The thing was, whenever I took a real hit, my first thought was "someone better have got a good f****** angle on that."
