Bloom has shared insights regarding the mental challenges accompanying this drastic transformation. He expressed, “The mental toll was as significant as the physical one. Lack of sleep and hunger led to paranoia and anxiety, emotions I had never experienced like this before.”
To achieve the lean physique typical of a boxer during weigh-in days, Bloom adhered to a stringent regimen, starting with his lightest weight at the beginning of filming and gradually gaining weight as the shoot progressed.
He has cautioned fans about the potential hazards of such extreme diets, admitting to obsessive thoughts about food due to his strict meal plan. “When you’re on a diet of just tuna and cucumbers, it becomes all-consuming,” he noted.

Although the experience started with excitement, the challenge became overwhelming for Bloom. A source revealed, “He thought he was ready, but the deprivation changed him completely. It wasn’t just weight loss; he lost his balance and his calmness, which affected his relationship.” Perry has yet to publicly comment on this situation, having previously praised Bloom as a stabilizing force in her life.
As the couple navigates their role as devoted parents to their daughter, insiders suggest the timing and pressure surrounding The Cut have been particularly challenging for them.
Bloom, however, attempts to contextualize his experiences, stating that the film represents a larger narrative about confronting personal struggles. “This film explores not only the physical battles we face but also our internal struggles and paths to self-acceptance,” he explained.
The couple shares a three-year-old daughter together.
