00:00Orlando Bloom says he was hangry and exhausted while undergoing a 30-pound weight loss transformation for The Cut.
00:07I was horrible to be around.
00:10Orlando Bloom joined Hollywood's Body Transformers, dropping 30 pounds for The Cut in just three months.
00:17A-list actors and actresses are no strangers to transforming themselves for movie roles,
00:22including Lady Gaga for Joker 2, Chris Pratt for Guardians of the Galaxy, Mila Kunis for Black Swan, and so many more.
00:32The actor explained that he underwent an epic 30-pound weight loss transformation for the movie.
00:38The movie follows an Irish boxer pushing his body and mind to the limit in pursuit of a championship title.
00:45The 48-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean stars' dramatic weight loss took a serious toll,
00:51and he's been open about it.
00:53The father of two revealed on this morning in August that the strict diet and training made him horrible to be around and stressed.
01:02I wouldn't recommend it to anyone at home, by the way.
01:04It was definitely not something to take lightly.
01:07The Lord of the Rings actor explained that he was working with a great nutritionist,
01:13the same one who helped Christian Bale achieve some of his most dramatic body transformations,
01:18to reach peak condition in record time.
01:22He basically teared me down from three meals a day to two to one, Bloom recalled.
01:27As filming drew closer, his meals became even more restricted,
01:32and towards the end, he was apparently eating little more than tuna and cucumber for three straight weeks.
01:37Unsurprisingly, the deep cover actor admitted this restricted diet made him extremely miserable,
01:45especially when he had to give up his favorite protein powder.
01:49But there was nothing funny about the toll such deprivation took on his well-being.
01:53I was just exhausted, mentally, physically, and I was just hangry.
01:59I was a horrible person to be around, Bloom candidly confessed.
02:03He went on to share that the extreme diet also severely affected his mental state,
02:08leading to paranoia and intrusive thoughts.
02:11It's really weird.
02:12We're supposed to eat and sleep and take care of ourselves, he added, reflecting on the experience.
02:18We'll be right back to another
