READ MORE IN BOXINGDirector Sean Ellis said to Variety: “Your brain is starved of calories, basically. “It was going to be impossible for him to work while dieting. So, he came to us at his lightest, and then he starts to eat.”So that meant that we had to shoot the film [with] the ending first and the beginning of the movie at the end. “Over the 25 days that we were shooting, he was putting on the calories. And then it’s edited in reverse.”Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITSBloom, now 48, added: “I was more surprised about the mental aspect of [it], like the sleep deprivation, and not the depleted calories. “There’s a lot going on in your brain living in that headspace for a while was very challenging.”Sam Thompson left gobsmacked as he’s surprised by huge Hollywood A-lister during his 280-mile endurance challengeEven Bloom’s co-star Caitriona Balfe – who plays his on-screen wife in the film – was stunned by his gaunt face and body.
