Jake Gyllenhaal's dedication to his role in the 'Road House' remake is evident in his commitment to his physical transformation for the film. Co-star Hannah Love Lanier revealed that Gyllenhaal adhered to a strict diet regimen during filming, even going as far as trying to convince others that rice paper wafer crackers were delicious despite their cardboard-like taste.
During filming in the Dominican Republic, Gyllenhaal's intense workout routine led to moments where he had to cool off by removing his shirt due to the sweltering heat. Lanier mentioned that there were instances of some flexing as he did so, adding a touch of humor to the filming process.
The star-studded cast of the movie includes UFC champion Conor McGregor, Daniela Melchior, Jessica Williams, Billy Magnussen, Lukas Gage, and Post Malone. Gage shared his excitement about filming fight scenes with McGregor, highlighting the unique experience of working alongside both a professional fighter and a renowned actor.
Following the completion of filming, the cast celebrated with a memorable wrap party that included a spontaneous skinny-dipping session in the ocean, allowing them to unwind after their hard work on set.
McGregor expressed gratitude for the opportunity to learn from Gyllenhaal, acknowledging the actor's extensive experience in the industry and the challenges they faced while working on the film.
'Road House' is now available for streaming on Amazon Prime, offering viewers a chance to witness the culmination of the cast's efforts in bringing this remake to life.
