Orlando Bloom: Being paralysed inspired gym work

Orlando Bloom has revealed that a serious injury inspired him to work hard at the gym. The Three Musketeers actor was left paralysed for four days when he was 21 after falling three stories.

The 34-year-old has undergone multiple surgeries and 18 months of rehab to regain the strength in his back.

Bloom told Men’s Health: “I’m grateful for it. I’m always working on my back.

“It hasn’t prevented me from doing anything. But it’s a constant reminder.”
