British actor Orlando Bloom, 47, has shared that he’s ready to undergo any transformation for a decent film.
Therefore, for “The Cut” film, where he played the role of a former fighter who dreams of returning to the ring despite putting his life on the line, the artist had to lose weight. To do so, he had to go on a diet.
Speaking about the intense preparation, Bloom shared that this transformation was the toughest challenge of his acting career.
“I was really hungry. During the last three weeks in London before filming started, I was on a diet of just cucumbers and tuna. They put me on a strict regime to wear me down, so we began the film with me at my lowest weight, and I gradually gained it back during shooting,” he told People.
He recalls Perry’s initial reaction to the series: “It was something that I don’t think she fully had thought through what I was doing. I think she just thought, ‘Well, there’s insurance in place. There’s things in place that he’s not going to do anything that’s going to kill him.’ And of course, to some extent, that’s true.”
His wife, singer Katy Perry, was moved to tears when she watched the film’s premiere, knowing the sacrifices her husband made for the role.
