Jake Gyllenhaal was bandaged but smiling at a movie event in Los Angeles on Friday, just two days after he had to be taken to the emergency room after smashing a mirror on the set of his film Nightcrawler.

The actor’s left hand was wrapped as he spoke on stage at a screening of Prisoners at ArcLight Hollywood (see photos at right and below).

Gyllenhaal lost about 20 pounds for his Nightcrawler role before Wednesday’s incident took even more of a physical toll.

The actor received stitches after hurting his hand but returned to work later that day.

Jake Gyllenhaal was rushed to the emergency room after punching a mirror on the Los Angeles set of his movie Nightcrawler on Wednesday.

He received stitches and returned later in the day.

A source tells us the incident occurred during an intense and emotional moment for Gyllenhaal’s character, when he (purposefully) banged his hand against a mirror.

Unfortunately, it shattered and he was badly cut.

Gossip Cop has reached out for additional details concerning the actor’s injury.

We will have updates.

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Gyllenhaal has dramatically lost weight for his Nightcrawler role.

Jake Gyllenhaal looked a little different on Monday’s red carpet for the Hollywood Film Awards.

The actor showed off a thinner frame and face, the result of dramatic weight loss as he prepares for Nightcrawler, in which Gyllenhaal plays a crime reporter who explores the underworld of Los Angeles.

At left is a picture of Gyllenhaal in June; at right is how he looked on Monday (see larger version below).

According to some reports, the star says he lost approximately 20 pounds for the role.

Of course, Gyllenhaal isn’t the only actor to undergo a major physical transformation for a project.

On one end of the scale, Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey revealed startling weight loss for their upcoming HIV drama Dallas Buyers Club.

Chris Pratt, meanwhile, got ripped for the superhero movie Guardians of the Galaxy.

What do you think of Gyllenhaal’s thinner look?
