There’s no denying Orlando Bloom is one of the world’s most gorgeous actors and undoubtably has the body to go with it.
But, unlike his killer good looks, his amazing body wasn’t something he was born with.
And, when it comes to maintaining his physique, the actor has revealed he has resorted to some pretty extreme tactics.
Bloom recently headed to “The Late Late Show with James Corden” and revealed some of the ridiculous workouts he does, specifically one that makes him pass out on the odd occasion.
When Corden pushed the actor to reveal his workout secrets, Bloom said he works out with one of the world’s most famous big wave surfers, Laird Hamilton.
“He does this pool training at his house … where we do weights underwater,” he revealed.
“So, you take some 50-pound (22kg) dumbbells and you hold breath and sort of walk underwater and do weights,” he said, to the shock of Corden.
“That’s what they used to do to find out if people were witches,” the late-night host said in horror.
“Of course you can come up and take a breath, but the whole thing is when you deoxygenate your blood, when you hold your breath like that and you stress your body out, it’s a much more intense workout,” Bloom added.
“Absolutely,” Zac Efron chimed in, enthralled by what Bloom was saying.
“It can be really good for you but I sort of push it and I don’t really have a gatekeeper, so my thing is I’ll do that on an exhaled breath and then come up,” he said before imitating himself floating to the surface, passed out and seizing because of overexertion.
“Because you have this thing where you pass out and I’ve done it twice and they’re like ‘Bro, you’ve gotta stop doing that’ and they need to watch me every time I did it,” he admitted as Corden shook his head in disbelief.
“Once wasn’t enough. I had to [pass out] twice to realize I should never do that again,” Bloom added.
