Orlando Bloom is opening up about one of the scariest and most difficult moments of his life.
In honor of World Mental Health Day on Oct. 10, the “Pirates of the Caribbean” star — who is also an international goodwill ambassador for UNICEF — spoke about the challenges he faced after suffering a serious accident as a teenager.
However, Bloom received some alarming news while he was in the hospital. “I was told for the first four days that I may never walk again,” he said. After having surgery on his back, Bloom had to wear a brace and start physical therapy. Just 12 days later, he walked out of the hospital on crutches. He said his recovery was “really remarkable and unheard of.”“I would say the months after the fall were quite a dark time,” the 45-year-old actor recalled. “As somebody who’d sort of always been very active in my life, it felt very restrictive all of a sudden and I was in a lot of pain.
Speaking about the importance of mental health, Bloom said the subject “is particularly challenging because it’s unseen.”
