<p><br /> Hollywood heartthrob Jake Gyllenhaal has revealed the truth behind his name, his accent and his bathing routine.<br /> </p><p><br /> The 29-year-old Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time star explained that his tricky surname is in fact pronounced YILL-EN-HOO-LA-HAY, an announcement that either ends years of speculation or causes even more confusion, depending on how seriously the actor's comments are taken.<br /> </p><p><br /> The movie star also spilled the beans about his new-found muscles.<br /> </p><p><br /> "First I grew the hair which took six months, then I would do was a daily rigourous exercise of bathing three to four times a day. So shampooing and conditioning, not a two-in-one, that's a secret that a lot of people don't know. Shampoo really works the biceps, then triceps I worked with conditioning. It works the abs too if you keep them clenched," said Jake.<br /> </p><p><br /> Finally, there was controversy over the Los Angeles-born star's London accent in the film. Director Mike Newell said it was "kind of Dagenham", while co-star Sir Ben Kingsley claimed Jake's Prince is clearly from London's NW5 postal region. But Newell responded saying: "Sir Ben is utterly sweeet, but he doesn't know his London postal regions worth diddly s**t".<br /> </p>
