We’ve seen the results of his workout regimen, but will the wilderness work him over?

Hollywood actor and outdoor enthusiast Jake Gyllenhaal will show off his wilder side when British survivalist host, Bear Grylls takes him to Iceland and the two conquer Mother Nature in an upcoming episode of Discovery Channel‘s Man Vs. Wild.

Active volcanos and glaciers are just some of the trying natural circumstances the duo have to face and Gyllenhaal goes everywhere and eats everything that Grylls does.

“For me, it’s all about discovery,” said Gyllenhaal.

He’ll need that adventurous attitude. Grylls has done a lot of nasty stuff (including eating rotten meat and drinking his own urine) but I’m sure Jake won’t have to handle anything quite that desperate.

The 37 year-old explorer did share that the actor comes out on top.

“The wild is always very revealing – not only physically but mentally. You’ve got to smile when it’s driving horizontal hail and be able to face your fears and just get on and do it – and on both of those accounts, Jake came up strong.”

Gyllenhaal isn’t the first celeb to partner up in a ‘Boys Gone Wild’ kinda episode. Will Ferrell joined up with Grylls for a 2009 show where the two men took on Northern Sweden in survivalist style.

Man Vs Wild kicks off six new episodes on Monday, July 11th at 9pm ET with the Gyllenhaal experience.

Jake Gyllenhaal appeared on the red carpet for the premiere of Source Code, held at the Arclight Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles on March 28th.

The 30 year-old actor, who wore a Tom Ford suit, told reporters the film moves from the cliched responses and repetition to give the audience a heady experience.

“We knew beforehand that the only way this was going to be engaging and intriguing and fun to watch was through variation,” Gyllenhaal said. “How Duncan staged a scene, how I responded, how I gathered information, how much I was aware of what was going, and how much I wasn’t aware.”

Once he was able to leave behind the automatic ideas of a thriller, Gyllenhaal says he found a renewed interest.

“So it felt like a real tightrope walk for me. And as soon as I stopped thinking about all those cliched responses you might expect from an actor in a thriller, as soon as it became a real psychological exploration, it became fascinating to me,” he said,

Source Code opens in theaters Friday, April 1st.

Jake Gyllenhaal gets serious on the cover of Men’s Journal magazine for April 2011.

Pensive and almost brooding, the actor reveals he takes his training seriously and drives himself pretty hard.

“I’ve had to teach myself to slow down a bit,” he confesses. “Because I get so into it, it becomes a real addiction. But it’s like a New Year’s resolution.”

The Source Code actor thinks a bit more introspection is called for in his life saying, “To sit down and read a book. Life’s not a bike ride. I wouldn’t say exercise less, but sit with myself.”

Good advice for anyone.

The Gyllenhaal issue is on newsstands now.

Vanity Fair’s Annual Hollywood Issue cover is upon us. The March 2011 cover shot by Norman Jean Roy, features some of the hottest names in movies right now. The mag proclaims: “Vanity Fair went back to the basics—no teenagers, no penguins, no (full-on) nudity, just the most exciting actors and actresses of the moment.”

But once again, it’s a pretty white bread deal. The four actors on the front cover are (left to right) Ryan Reynolds, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and James Franco.

The rest of ‘Hot Hollywood’ featured after the fold out are (left to right following Franco,) Jennifer Lawrence, Anthony Mackie, Olivia Wilde, Jesse Eisenberg, Mila Kunis, Robert Duvall, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Garfield, Rashida Jones, Garrett Hedlund and Noomi Rapace (see the larger/full photo under.)

This is mainstream Hollywood at it’s finest, which I guess is exactly what you buy VF for. The only two actors of color (Mackie and Jones) do not make the front and the only older actor (over 35) Duvall is hidden in the back like they were ashamed to include him.

Vanity Fair has come under fire for it’s white, white and more white focus in the past years, but what do you think? Is it the magazine’s fault or Hollywood in general for only casting white?

This issue goes on sale in New York and Los Angeles February 3rd and then nationally on February 8th.

Here’s the poster for the upcoming thriller Source Code starring Jake Gyllenhaal.

When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he’s part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he’s ever known, he learns he’s part of a government experiment called the “Source Code,” a program that enables him to cross over into another man’s identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second, much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.

This movie does look interesting, I love the sci-fi elements. More movies like this should be on their way out, unfortunately they are rather rare.

Is Swiftenhaal on for Round Two? Not exactly.

Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted with Taylor Swift at the Boundr’y – a Nashville eatery near Swift’s condo. Other patrons reported that the duo were friendly but not in a romantic sort of way.

“They did eat,” the patron tells PEOPLE. “They were cordial to one another, but not affectionate.”

And another source tells PEOPLE that they seemed friendly. “There was no holding hands, but they seemed happy together,” the source says. “They sat next to the fireplace just chatting away.”

Looks like the two are just trying to stay friendly.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan stepped out to the Palm Springs International Film Festival 2011 Gala Awards at the Palm Springs Convention Center on Saturday night.

Mulligan, who was receiving the Breakthrough Performance Award, wore a beautiful Prada cocktail dress for the event. The actress who won the coveted part of Daisy in the Baz Lurhmann adaptation of The Great Gatsby has moved to the Big Apple but welcomes the change. “I live in New York now, so that’s sort of new. But I always wanted to live there,” she said.

Gyllenhaal presented Natalie Portman with the Desert Palm Achievement Actress Award and joked that he first met the actress “waiting in a line to have her sign my Queen Amidala doll,” referencing her role in the “Star Wars” films. “I sure hope she wins that Oscar [for ‘Black Swan’] this year — because then that doll is going to worth a s—load of money!”

It was a match made in tabloid heaven but it wasn’t meant to last.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift have decided to call off their budding romance. Sources tell US Magazine that 30 year-old Gyllenhaal is the one who initiated the split because he was very leery with the public attention the two brought as a couple.

“He said he wasn’t feeling it anymore and was uncomfortable with all the attention they got. Taylor is really upset. We told her not to move so fast with this, but she didn’t listen.”

The couple have not been spotted together since December 9th and while Gyllenhaal was in NYC over the holidays, Swift, 21, was in Turks and Caicos with her family.

After receiving a Golden Globes nomination for his performance in Love and Other Drugs, Jake Gyllenhaal got the inevitable question immediately: Who will he take as his date? Will it be the first red carpet appearance for him and Taylor Swift?

The actors laughs for a while before responding. “Dude, I didn’t think I was getting nominated. It’s going to be a long, slow burn for me. I’m not rushing into anything!” says Gyllenhaal.

It must be difficult to decide – it’s still a pretty new romance – and would he want to have anyone, let alone his new gal take some of the spotlight? It could be very overwhelming for both. Plus, Swift and Gyllenhaal have kept a surprising low profile for two very high profile celebrities. Hitting the red carpet together would blow the roof off that.
