Orlando Bloom dropped 50 kilos for his upcoming function in The Cut, one thing he says he “wouldn’t recommend to anyone.”
“It’s not something to take lightly,” Bloom, 48, mentioned on his look on This Morning on Thursday. “I had a great nutritionist. I was recommended by one of my agents who worked with Christian Bale on some stuff, so he was checking my blood and stuff.”
The Pirates of the Caribbean star defined that his nutritionist, Phillip Goglia, slowly obtained him right down to eating only one meal a day.
“Suddenly, all these foods were being taken away from me, and my protein powder was the last one,” Bloom mentioned. “I was like ‘No! Don’t take that one.’ Then basically I came down to [eating] just tuna and cucumber for the last three weeks.”
The actor confirmed off his slimmed-down determine on the London screening of his upcoming film. But, in line with Bloom himself, he was “a horrible person to be around” whereas he was training for the function.
“Mentally, physically, I was hangry,” he mentioned. “The paranoia, the intrusive thoughts. We’re supposed to eat and sleep and take care of ourselves. It’s really a commentary on the lengths a person will go to have that second shot. I think that’s so relatable.”
The British actor beforehand spilled the grotesque particulars of his psychological state, in an interview with People.
“What I hadn’t expected and was surprised by was the mental toll that this kind of intense discipline takes,” he mentioned earlier this month. “The paranoia and anxiety were very real and disturbing, caused by the lack of sleep — turns out you can’t sleep when you’re hungry.”
Bloom’s new movie, during which he performs a former boxer training for a redemption struggle, premieres in theaters September 5.
