Jake Gyllenhaal talks about Jarhead

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal, whose three movies (Chronicles, Jarhead and Brokeback Mountain) are going to release this fall, is making news for his role in the Gulf War drama ‘Jarhead’.

The film is based on the best-selling book by Anthony Swofford who wrote about his experience in Saudi Arabia during the first Gulf War.

Jake talking about the film, the cast and his role said that this movie was a life-changing experience for him. Gyllenhaal had to shave his head and reshape his body for the role but he discovered that stripping aside Hollywood superficiality and getting in touch with his inner grunt made the acting easier.

Oscar-winning director, Sam Mendes recently said “He really went from being a boy to being a man. It happened to him during the shooting of the movie, so a lot of it surprised me and I was really thrilled with what he came up with.”

Gyllenhaal takes the central role of Tony “Swoff” Swofford. Peter Sarsgaard portrays Troy, Swoff’s partner in their elite unit of Marine scout. And Oscar winner Chris Cooper portrays Lt. Col. Kazinski, the commander who itches to unleash his killing machine on an overmatched enemy.

Paris Hilton set to play her great-grandfather’s ex

Paris Hilton, who recently made her acting debut in horror film ‘House of Wax’, looks set to play Hollywood icon Zsa Zsa Gabor in a new movie. The hotel heiress is in talks with producers to star as the glamorous veteran actress - who was once married to Paris’ great-grandfather Conrad Hilton - in a new biopic.

Like Paris, Zsa Zsa is better known for her personal life than her professional career. A source revealed, “Paris thinks she’s perfect to play Zsa Zsa, as she’s the sort of glamorous, determined and ambitious woman that she admires. They both have pretty colourful lives, so Paris could bring an element of empathy to the role, if nothing else.”

Born in Hungary, Zsa Zsa followed her sister, Eva, to Hollywood and had her big movie break in the 1952 film ‘Moulin Rouge‘. However, she is more famous for her staggering list of husbands - nine in total, including Paris’s great-grandfather, Conrad, who founded the famous Hilton hotel chain. She once quipped of her ex, “Conrad Hilton was very generous to me in the divorce settlement. He gave me 5,000 Gideon Bibles.”
