"I over-prepared myself because I never knew how much they were going to ask me to do, so I just made sure I'd be hopefully able to do anything," Jake told Entertainment Tonight, adding that he had gained five pounds of muscle for the role of the 6th century prince.
"I guess I've gotten buff," he said. "There's a lot acrobatics in the movie - a lot of running up walls, and jumping on things, so it requires muscularity, but it requires a lot of aerobic ability too."
However, Jake doesn't plan on keeping his buff bod for long after the London film shoot wraps.
"It's going to turn into fat and I'm going to be happy," he laughed.
The film, which also stars Bond girl Gemma Arterton and Ben Kingsley isn't scheduled to hit cinemas until 2010.
