The well-known actor says with conviction that the film "The Cut" tested every limit of himself and his life, even putting the latter in danger. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, while Orlando Bloom said that the protagonist role in this film made him think he was "going to die" due to the drastic weight loss.
According to the film, it centers on the story of a retired boxer obsessed with getting back into the ring, even if it costs him his life.
"I was very hungry all the time," Bloom tells People.
"The last three weeks in London, before we started filming, it was just tuna and cucumber," he continued.
The nutritionist of this film, during the filming, had put the star of "Pirates of the Caribbean" on a strict regime, precisely to drop the kilograms in order to gain the right weight for the protagonist role.
The actor's partner, singer Katy Perry, was shocked by his transformation. In fact, when she first saw him she was "just terrified," he said.
"She looked at me and said, 'I need a stiff drink,'" the actor said of his partner's reaction, noting that she cried after watching the film's premiere.
"She was really touched, but Katy knew exactly what was needed for that film."
Perry supported Bloom during filming, taking care of all the family balances.
"She was there all the time, with the kids and everything," Bloom said of the "Fireworks" singer.
The actor and singer are both parents to a 4-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove. Bloom is also father to son Flynn, who he has with ex-wife Miranda Kerr.
