Actor Orlando Bloom has recently revealed all the hard work he put in for his film The Cut. The actor, who plays the role of a boxer in the film, had undergone a significant physical transformation for his role. In an exclusive conversation with Variety, the actor revealed how he lost around 52 pounds (approximately 23 kilos) in 3 months. He said, “I basically tiered down the food over a three-month period until just before filming, I was at my lightest. I dropped 52 pounds, and I was about 185 when I started. So, I dropped quite a lot of weight, and I was very mentally challenged as well. You feed somebody tuna and cucumber long enough..”

Orland called his journey more “exciting” than “daunting”. He further stated, “I was more surprised about the mental aspect of it, like the sleep deprivation and not the depleted calories. There's a lot going on in your brain...living in that headspace for a while was very challenging.”
The director of the film, Sean Ellis opened up about Orlando's diet and transformation. As the film follows the life of a boxer on an often-disturbing journey, Orland was bulking up during production. Sean said to Orlando, “Your brain is starved of calories, basically.” He also added, “It was going to be impossible for him to work while dieting. So, he came to us at his lightest and then starts to eat. So that meant that we had to shoot the film with the ending first and the beginning of the movie at the end.. Over the 25 days that we were shooting, he was putting on the calories and then it's edited in reverse.”
Orlando Bloom's transformation journey is proof of the work that goes on behind the silver screen.
