Orlando Bloom's 'The Cut' Premieres at TIFF

Orlando Bloom lost 52 pounds for his role in 'The Cut,' a film about a boxer undergoing extreme weight loss to return to the ring. The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, 2024, features Bloom alongside co-stars John Turturro and Caitríona Balfe. Bloom described the physical and mental challenges of his transformation, including a strict diet of tuna and cucumber. His fiancée, Katy Perry, was deeply affected by the film, needing a 'stiff drink' after watching it. The couple attended the premiere together, making a fashion statement on the red carpet. The film explores themes of physical and emotional endurance, with intricate costuming by Sophie Canale to reflect these struggles.
