In his inspiring new reality series, “Orlando Bloom: To the Edge,” the actor takes risks and tests his limits by training for and participating in three extreme sports, wingsuiting, free diving and rock climbing. The idea is for Bloom to face fear and push himself mentally, emotionally and physically. For Bloom, the closer he gets to death, the more alive he feels.
It is a very “don’t try this at home” series. Bloom trains for weeks with professionals who teach him skydiving, and he practices a breathing technique for free diving called a “death table.” He is guided by experts who monitor him, and he calls his partner Katy Perry every night to assure her that he is OK.
