Orlando Bloom's Extreme Physical Transformation For The Cut
In the upcoming Sean Ellis thriller, Orlando, 48, plays an ex-boxing champion who 'trains for redemption' before seemingly 'spiraling' when 'obsession takes hold.'
Speaking with People this week about the 'challenge' of taking on such a taxing role, Orlando admitted that while he was 'excited,' he did not anticipate that it would take such a huge mental toll on him.
'What I hadn't expected and was surprised by was the mental toll that this kind of intense discipline takes,' he said. 'The paranoia and anxiety were very real and disturbing, caused by the lack of sleep — turns out you can't sleep when you're hungry.'
Orlando also noted that he experienced 'obsessive thoughts of food' after restricting his water intake to get to his 'lowest weight.' 'Water restriction to get to my lowest weight for the final scenes led to obsessive thoughts of food, dreaming of what I could eat when finally off a diet of tuna and cucumber,' he said, before warning that this extreme physical transformation is 'definitely not something to try at home.'
The actor added, 'I was supervised weekly and had my blood work monitored by an expert nutritionist, Phillip Goglia, who helped me lose 30 pounds in approximately three months.'
You can find Orlando's interview with People here. The Cut hits theaters in the US on September 5.

Nicola Peltz's friend slams Brooklyn Beckham's family on Instagram
Nicola Peltz's close friend, Rebecca Faria, has her back. Faria weighed in on Peltz, 30 and her husband, Brooklyn Beckham's ongoing feud with his famous family on Instagram Wednesday, calling the Beckhams 'toxic' and accusing them of putting out 'fake' stories about the couple. The friend commented on Peltz and Beckham's joint Aug. 11 Instagram post featuring photos from their Aug. 2 vow renewal, which Brooklyn's family was not invited to. 13 Nicola Peltz (center) with her friend Rebecca Faria (left). detoxbyrebecca/Instagram 13 Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz. Instagram/ Nicola Peltz Beckham 'I love seeing people who spend years in therapy over toxic family ties coming here and judging someone who actually had the guts to walk away,' Faria wrote under the post. 'Everyone's been kissing the Beckhams' ass forever, and Nicola was the first to stand up for her values since [she] couldn't care less about their fame or money!' Faria continued. 'The moment they couldn't control everything, they lost it and started planting fake press to make her look bad in the public eye.' 13 Rebecca Faria defends Nicola Peltz on Instagram. Faria went on to state that she's known Peltz 'for years' and said the actress is 'genuine, humble, and refuses to live in a fake world.' 'Brooklyn is a grown man who can defend himself just fine!' Faria added about Victoria and David Beckham's 26-year-old son. 'If he walked away, it's because he knows exactly the environment he grew up in.' 13 Nicola Peltz's friend, Rebecca Faria. detoxbyrebecca/Instagram One fan replied to Faria's comment and called Peltz 'a toxic, controlling narcissist hell bent on turning him against his family and friends so she can have him all to herself.' In response, Faria wrote back, 'Calling Nicola controlling is just lazy. She's not holding anyone hostage. Brooklyn is a grown man who's fully capable of making his own choices. He is an adult who's perfectly aware of the life he wants, and he's living it.' 13 Rebecca Faria responds to a fan who called Nicola Peltz 'controlling.' 13 Rebecca Faria in a mirror selfie. detoxbyrebecca/Instagram The Post has reached out to reps for Peltz, Brooklyn, and the Beckhams for comment. Brooklyn and Peltz renewed their vows last week, three years after their April 2022 wedding. 'The event is about honoring the love and commitment they've built together over the years, and creating a memory that will stay with them forever,' a source told People after the ceremony. 13 Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz at their vow renewal.

David Beckham/ Instargam Brooklyn and Peltz's wedding seemed to mark the beginning of their rift with the Beckhams. At the time, there were reports that Victoria, 51, was allegedly upset that Peltz did not wear a gown by Victoria's clothing label. The Spice Girl also allegedly made her daughter-in-law cry by hijacking the newly married couple's first dance. 13 Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz.

In May, Brooklyn and Peltz allegedly refused to attend his dad David Beckham's 50th birthday party in London because they didn't want to be in the same room as Romeo and Turnbull. Romeo and Turnbull ultimately broke up in June, and insiders claimed that the pair split due to the Beckham family drama and the 'strain' it caused their relationship. 13 The Beckham family at David's 50th birthday party.

Taylor Swift Says It Was a 'Great Challenge' Introducing Jason Kelce's Kids to Her Cats After He Told Them Cats Were Poisonous
The former NFL player has previously shared his tactics to get out of adopting a cat NEED TO KNOW Taylor Swift is embarking on her greatest challenge — trying to convince Jason Kelce's daughters to be cat lovers The singer spoke about how she introduced Jason's four girls to her cats during a podcast appearance Jason has previously shared that he's trying to deter his family from getting a cat by telling them cats are poisonous Taylor Swift has found her greatest challenge yet — making Jason Kelce's daughters cat lovers. The "Cruel Summer" singer, 35, appeared on Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast New Heights and was asked by the Kansas City Chiefs tight end about his brother telling his four daughters that cats are poisonous. "It was actually really a great challenge because as soon as I got the kids around the cats, it was my goal to prove to them that they weren't poisonous," Swift explained. "And there's no better way to prove that than to just hand them Benjamin, my rag doll cat, who lets humans hold him like he's a baby." "And I mean, my favorite thing ever is when [Jason's daughter] Benny will come up to me and just go, 'I find Benjamin. I find him,' " she continued. "And she's just like over there, laying with him and petting him and holding him." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The musician went on to say that her cats are "so good" with kids, especially since Jason's daughters will just "drag" them. "They're just like, 'Meredith is here!' " Swift said, mimicking Jason's daughters' voices. "I'm like, 'Yup. And you know what? She didn't bite you at all, did she? And if she did bite you, she wouldn't be poisonous.' They're like, 'That's not what our dad said.' And I'm like, 'Well.'" Swift then went on to say that she had heard Jason and his family were getting a cat from a very "well-placed source." 'I will neither confirm nor deny. We'll see if it does get to that,' Jason replied. 'You're getting like a proper cat. You're getting a cat that chases mice,' Swift said. 'What I have are not that. They sit around, and that's enough.' 'There's a chance I've been talked into a barn cat,' Jason admitted. 'That does not go inside, that will survive off of rodents in the field and guard our house.' 'Those girls are going to be sneaking that cat into their beds every single night,' Swift predicted. Jason went on to joke that this exact situation is "why I lie to my kids," saying he wants them to be "critical thinkers." "They need to realize it's absurd to think this, and you handing them Benjamin and then walking them through critical thinking ability. Now all of a sudden they won't believe something that every moron tells them on the Internet, right?' Jason joked. 'Yeah, it was really like, I know it wasn't helpful for you, but it was helpful for me,' Swift replied. Last September, Jason shared on an episode of his podcast that he told his daughters that cats 'are poisonous' in an attempt to stop them from bringing a feline home. 'You know what my latest plan to divert our family from getting a cat is? I just keep telling our girls that cats are poisonous,' Jason revealed. 'Why the f--- would you tell them that?' Travis sked. "... So that they don't want cats,' explained Jason. 'And I don't have to deal with having a cat and make them terrified.' Read the original article on People

What Conrad and Laurel Scene Means for Belly in ‘TSITP'
Season 3 of The Summer I Turned Pretty continued its streak of bringing key book moments to life this week, this time with a heart-wrenching Laurel and Conrad scene. Now, TSITP star Jackie Chung is breaking down the iconic moment and hinting at what that Conrad and Laurel scene could mean for Belly's future. 'I was looking forward to this one,' Jackie said in an interview with People. 'I look for those book moments [in the script], and I remember reading this Conrad scene in the book and just thinking, 'Ooh, I love this one.'' In the scene, Conrad convinces Laurel to support Belly and Jeremiah's wedding, even though he's obviously still in love with Belly, because he wants her to be happy, prompting Laurel to ask Conrad when he gets to be happy. (Insert broody Conrad here.) Jackie, who has played Laurel for three seasons, explained Laurel's motivations in the scene, saying, 'I do think she recognizes that he has feelings for Belly.' She continued, 'And I think she's pushing him a little to open up and let them out, so that he can be happy and not just harbor these feelings and bury them.' But make no mistake—just because Laurel is encouraging Conrad doesn't mean she wants him marrying her daughter, either. 'I really feel firmly about this, that Laurel is Team Belly,' Jackie said. 'She does not want her to get married at this point in her life—to anyone. She wants her to grow and mature first.' Still, Jackie admits that Laurel and Conrad's conversation could lead to Conrad actually fighting for Belly in future episodes. 'I see how her being like, 'Hey, find your happiness, Conrad,' could lead to him mucking things up for Jeremiah and Belly.' Oh, and while chatting with People, she also talked about *those* Laurel and Susannah romance rumors. When asked whether she thought her character might be more than platonic soulmates with Susannah, Jackie admitted, 'It never crossed my mind.' According to her, it's 'rare to see this kind of love on screen where these women just wholly support each other and care about each other and have a decades-long friendship,' so she can see why fans might get it twisted. As she explained, 'I can understand how people could interpret it that way, I guess. But yeah, no, I just always saw it as a really, really deep friendship.'
