Orlando Bloom Says He Was a “Horrible Person” Amid Weight Loss Transformation for Role
Orlando Bloom was without a doubt a different person on the set of his recent movie.
The Pirates of the Caribbean alum reflected on the intense dieting he underwent to lose 52 pounds for his new film The Cut and the toll that the weight loss took on his entire being.
“I was exhausted mentally, physically. I was hangry,” Orlando said during an Aug. 27 appearance on This Morning. “I was a horrible person to be around. The paranoia, the intrusive thoughts.”
The 48-year-old—who confirmed his split with Katy Perry in July—explained that professional boxers, like his character, can struggle to meet their basic needs while abstaining from certain foods in order to meet their goal weights, adding, “We’re supposed to eat and sleep and take care of ourselves.”
As for how he was able to lose the massive amount of weight? Orlando hired a professional that had worked with other stars, including Christian Bale.
