I didn&#8217;t want to play this character.&#8221;<\/strong> His statement has surprised many, as Troy featured a star-studded cast that included Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Diane Kruger, Rose Byrne, and Peter O&#8217;Toole, making it a highly visible project at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A movie in which no cast member ended up happy<\/h2>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Bloom, who was one of the most popular faces of the 2000s thanks to his participation in franchises like The Lord of the Rings and Pirates of the Caribbean, mentioned that his experience in Troy was complex<\/strong>. During the video, the actor made a gesture that simulated slitting his throat while talking about his role and reflected on a scene in which his character was shown to be vulnerable, a representation that he felt was contrary to his personal convictions.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Troy (2004) Official Trailer - Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Orlando Bloom Movie HD\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/znTLzRJimeY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not just Bloom who has expressed his discontent. Other cast members, such as Peter O&#8217;Toole, have also voiced their frustrations. O&#8217;Toole, who played King Priam, criticized director Wolfgang Petersen, saying, &#8220;Yuck. What a disaster.&#8221; For her part, <strong>Diane Kruger spoke about how uncomfortable the casting process was, recalling feeling like &#8220;a piece of meat&#8221; when facing the studio executives.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the negative opinions, <strong>Troy was a commercial success, with a production cost of 175 million dollars and a revenue of 497.4 million<\/strong>. However, the critics were not so generous, giving it a score of 56 on Metacritic. This mix of successes and disappointments has led actors like Brad Pitt to reflect on their subsequent professional decisions, investing in projects more focused on quality.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Amazon Prime Video\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-s\/p\/c162012f-3d10-436b-a6b5-fde423154d8c\/3464089414\/amazon-prime-video-download-amazon-prime-video.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Amazon Prime Video<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/amazon-prime-video.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/amazon-prime-video.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent video by Variety, Orlando Bloom revealed that he regrets participating in the movie Troy, where he played the character of Paris.
