Orlando Bloom is not holding back while promoting his new film“Bucking Fastard.”The movie stars Bloom as Gareth Mulroney, a man caught between twin sisters played by real-life siblings Rooney Mara and Kate Mara. At the San Sebastián Film Festival, Bloom opened up about the film’s threesome scene, describing it as“very sincere”and noting the simplicity of the characters’desires alongside an innocence to the sisters.
Director Werner Herzog added his own layer to the story, revealing he gave Bloom no instructions for the intimate moment.“You are in bed, and you have two women in your arms. How you deal with it, I cannot give instructions,”he said. Herzog called the scene“beautiful”with“charm and depth.”The film, loosely based on identical twin sisters Freda and Greta Chaplin, premiered at the Venice Film Festival on September 3.
The project blends A-list star power, boundary-pushing storytelling, and one of the most talked-about director-versus-actor dynamics in recent memory. Hollywood has been leaning into more explicit material, and this film is testing where audiences draw the line between art and discomfort.
