Jake Gyllenhaal is in hungry mode

Jake Gyllenhaal's passion for his upcoming movie motivated him to lose a dramatic amount of weight.
The 32-year-old actor embarked on a strict diet and fitness regime to slim down for the thriller, Nightcrawler, in which he plays a struggling crime reporter in Los Angeles, and admits he was ''always a bit hungry'' while preparing for the role.
He told UsWeekly.com: ''It takes place in a land where I think there is a desert in a lot of ways, great opulence, and at the same time, great vastness and emptiness. I knew that [Lou] was literally and figuratively hungry.''
In order to feel more like the character, the actor aimed to look almost skeletal and got into a ''mode where I was always a bit hungry.'' The Brokeback Mountain star isn't following a special eating plan for the movie, currently filming in L.A., but is just eating less to keep his weight down. He added: ''I just love this movie. That's how I did it. There really was no technique.''
