Gabreya:
He looks really good in that picture, though. He's gonna make a hot Prince of Persia! :P :P Btw, like some y'all said, half of his hair probably is hair extensions while his real hair probably grew a little.
Plus, I find it cute that he and Reese are holding hands like that.

Concerning my question about time era for PoP, I saw on another site that it's supposed to be 6th century-ish.

I doubt they're concerned about historical accuracy in PoP. It's like a Conan movie - dark ages, but ancient and no real place in time.

I think his hair looks fairly authentic for what hair styles in 6th century probably looked like.
After all, they probably didnt really wash it that much, and it would just fall where it fell to dry.
It will be interesting to see a pic of Jake out of costume, while he is filming, to see how it looks after a good shampoo and blow dry.

Well, this recent PoP pic with Reese reminded me of this pic that MilAn posted a while ago. In Milan's pic his hair looks real and natural to me (he looks sort of like a surfer boy to me here). But, in the PoP pic w/ costume his hair looks like a hair helmet to me.

Yes, I know - the plot as far as the two lines I've read doesn't read like gruelling realism to me. ;D But still, since it's set in Persia and not a completely invented place, I figured they might be going for some sort of "fantastical realism".

Sure enough, but a film like this hinges very much on the star being deemed attractive from top to toe.... and this film with its fantasy elements doesn't have to shoot for realism.
And authenticity tends to fall rapidly by the wayside in historical movies in any case - I recently read an article going on about how gorgeous everyone looks in "The other Boleyn Girl" and "The Tudors" and how in real life, they'd not have been anywhere near as hot - what with the sanitary and general health situation, even for the nobility, in the day of Henry the 8th.
It's always been my belief that movies about the Vikings nearly never do well because actors have to look so, well, hirsute in them - thus reducing their appeal.
