Orlando Bloom Reveals Katy Perry Needed A ‘Stiff Drink’ After Watching His New Film The Cut: ‘She Was Really Moved’

As an ardent fan of the captivating world of cinema, I found myself utterly enthralled by the latest news about Orlando Bloom and his extraordinary journey for the film “The Cut.” The man is nothing short of remarkable!


In a dedication that bore fruit, Orlando Bloom put in considerable effort for his latest film, The Cut, which had its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5th. Ultimately, his hard work paid off when he successfully impressed his fiancée, Katy Perry.

On Friday, September 6, Bloom shared that the Women’s World singer asked for a strong cocktail following the movie viewing.

47-year-old Bloom features in the film, portraying an unidentified boxer required to shed a significant amount of weight for a ring comeback. The Sean Ellis-directed movie’s formal summary characterizes Bloom’s role as that of a retired pugilist who is willing to jeopardize his life for another chance to fight.

Bloom admitted to being extremely hungry, or ‘hangry,’ during an interview with that particular magazine. It seems he had a nutritionist who made him follow a stringent diet for three weeks prior to filming, which consisted solely of tuna and cucumbers. The intention behind this regimen was to have Bloom begin at his lowest weight, then gradually gain weight as the movie production advanced.

In a heartfelt reaction, Perry, aged 39, shed tears upon witnessing the debut of the drama. Bloom stated this, expressing that “she was deeply touched” since she was aware of the effort involved. At a particular moment during filming and returning home to his family, Bloom reminisced about thinking he wouldn’t make it through.

For those who might not know, he, along with Perry, have a child named Daisy Dove, born in 2020. Bloom is also a father to Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland, who was born from his previous marriage with Miranda Kerr. “She was present the whole time, with the kids and all,” said Bloom proudly about the singer.

Catriona Balfe, famed for her role in Outlander where she plays Bloom’s on-screen spouse and coach, concurred, stating, “You can manage activities like that when you’re solo; it’s all about being single.” However, with family matters at hand, the challenge definitely becomes tougher.

Before the shooting started, the actress commented on how the English actor appeared “thin and bony” (gaunt). She then said, “The change was surprising…I exclaimed, ‘You look like a dried grape!'” John Turturro, another star in the production alongside Balfe and Bloom, jokingly stated that Bloom only made things difficult for him for financial reasons.

The Severance star himself is quite experienced when it comes to adapting weight for a role. He notably put on weight for his 1994 film Quiz Show and lost it for 1997’s The Truce. The former part, he said, made him sick.

Meanwhile, Balfe mentioned that she’s always prioritized her health over any acting role, as of now, the film The Cut, penned by Justin Bell with a narrative by Mark Lane, remains without a distribution channel or set release date.
