Bloom underwent a strict workout regime and limiting diet, working alongside a personal trainer \ufeffwho had gone through similar processes with other stars such as Christian Bale.<\/p>\n

“I had a great nutritionist. He was checking my blood and stuff,” Bloom shared.<\/p>\n

“He basically tiered me down from three meals a day to two, to one. Suddenly, all these foods were being taken away from me, and my protein powder was the last one. I was like, ‘No! Don’t take that one’.”<\/p>\n

Although the transformation took it’s toll on the actor both mentally and physically, he explained that it helped him to get into the right head space to be able to portray the character.<\/p>\n

“It’s really a commentary on what people, the lengths this person will go to to have that second shot,” he said.<\/p>\n

It comes after Bloom confirmed his split from partner Katy Perry after almost 10 years together.\ufeff<\/p>\n

The former couple, who were engaged and share a daughter together, announced the news with a joint statement through representatives to Page Six<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is \u2013 and always will be \u2013 raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”<\/p>\n

The couple proved this to be the case as weeks later they were spotted spending time in Venice together after Bloom attended Jeff Bezos’ lavish wedding to Lauren Sanchez<\/a>.\ufeff<\/p>\n
