Jake recently opened up about his fight scenes in his upcoming film Southpaw, where he plays a boxer.

“Everything that I did before the film was about getting those fight sequences right, we shot all the boxing in the first two weeks. We tried to make it as close to the real thing as possible, obviously it wasn’t absolutely real, but it was as close as we could get. I got hit all the time. Yes. Yes, I did,” Jake shared to Us Weekly.

FYI: Jake is wearing a Fjallraven coat.
