Entertainment Weekly is offering up this first picture of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

Jake Gyllenhaal says of the role, “I’m tired of taking myself so seriously. It’s nice when a stuntman turns to you and is like, ‘Actors don’t normally do this.’”

Jerry Bruckheimer’s Prince of Persia lands in theaters on May 28, 2010.
