Overview

• In new interviews this week, Bloom says his three-month cut ended with just one meal a day consisting of tuna and cucumber.
• He was supervised weekly with blood work monitored by nutritionist Philip Goglia, and he cautions the public not to attempt similar regimens.
• Bloom describes severe effects including exhaustion, paranoia, intrusive thoughts, poor sleep, and needing to lie down between takes before doing push-ups for the camera.
• Filmmakers began with the ending so he could perform at his lightest, then regain weight as production moved backward through the story.
• Republic Pictures releases The Cut in theaters on September 5, following a fresh Collider sneak peek that highlights the boxer’s perilous drive to make weight.
