According to Orlando, he ate only tuna and cucumber to prepare for the movie, which lead to his 52-pound weight loss.
“Just mentally, physically, I was hangry. I was a horrible person to be around,” Orlando said, sharing that he was “exhausted” and he had no “brain power” during the period.
Orlando said the nutritionist he worked with slowly “tiered [him] down” to fewer meals per day and took specific foods out of his diet. The actor said that he started to suffer from “paranoia” about his list of foods he was allowed to eat dwindling.
“Suddenly, all these foods were being taken away from me, and my protein powder was the last one,” Orlando said. “I was like, ‘No! Don’t take that one.’ Then basically I came down to just tuna and cucumber for the last three weeks.”
