Overview

• Speaking on ITV’s This Morning, Bloom said a nutritionist reduced him from three meals a day to one before three weeks of mostly tuna and cucumber with weekly bloodwork checks by Phillip Goglia.
• He described exhaustion, paranoia and intrusive thoughts, saying he often lay down between takes and that the film was shot in reverse order to capture his lowest-energy scenes first.
• Coverage now reflects conflicting totals for the transformation, with several outlets repeating a 52‑pound figure while prior quotes to People and Collider put the loss at roughly 30 pounds over about three months.
• Bloom recounted dehydration and water restriction to reach his lightest point and warned viewers not to emulate the rapid cut without medical oversight.
• The Cut, from director Sean Ellis and co-starring Caitríona Balfe and John Turturro, is scheduled to open in theaters on September 5 via Republic Pictures after its festival rollout.
