Orlando Bloom reveals Katy Perry’s reaction to his role in 'The Cut': 'She needed a stiff drink'

Orlando Bloom's role in The Cut has clearly made waves, especially with his fiancée, Katy Perry. At the film's premiere during the Toronto International Film Festival on September 5, Bloom shared that Perry was so moved by his performance that she needed a “stiff drink” to recover.

Bloom’s role as a boxer required a dramatic physical transformation, so he endured a grueling three-week diet of only tuna and cucumber to start at his lightest weight and bulk up as the film progressed.

Bloom described the experience as both physically and emotionally grueling, admitting he sometimes felt on the brink of collapse. Perry, moved by the intense effort Bloom invested in the role, needed a drink to calm her nerves after watching the film, according to People.

During this intense period, Perry’s support was crucial. While Bloom concentrated on his demanding role, she took on the responsibility of caring for their daughter. Bloom acknowledged the difficulty this posed for his family, highlighting Perry’s unwavering presence and assistance.



Catriona Balfe, who portrays Orlando Bloom's on-screen wife and trainer, remarked on his dramatic physical transformation, saying he looked “like a raisin” before filming began. John Turturro, another co-star, humorously speculated that Bloom's intense commitment might have been motivated by financial rewards.



Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, who began their relationship in 2016 and got engaged in 2019, are proud parents to their young daughter, Daisy Dove. The couple's journey has included both on-and-off periods, but they remain dedicated to their growing family.

In addition to their daughter Daisy Dove, Orlando Bloom also has a son, Flynn Christopher Blanchard Copeland, from his previous marriage to Miranda Kerr.
