Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom, who plays a boxer in the Sean Ellis film The Cut, underwent a stunning physical transformation for the film.
In the film, Orlando’s character is on the brink of a total breakdown as he races against the clock to drop weight before a fight, reports Variety.
He is guided by a shady coach, played by John Turturro, in his journey. Orlando’s character will do anything to shed pounds, even as it threatens his life.
As per Variety, Orlando himself lost a whopping 23 kg in three months in preparation for the movie. He discussed his eye-popping physical transformation at the Toronto Film Festival.
He told Variety, “I basically tiered down the food over a three-month period until just before filming, (when) 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.” (IANS)
