Orlando Bloom confesses to extreme wellness trend that gave him ‘sensation of death’
Fox News
Orlando Bloom explains why he's not afraid to try new things to better his health and overall well-being -- including ingesting frog poison.
"Kambo is a ceremony where your skin is burnt with these little dots, and then you put up the poison from the Amazon – it's like a frog poison," Bloom, who is currently promoting his new Peacock series "Orlando Bloom: To the Edge," told GQ. "You have this sensation of death and you kind of purge your body. But it's incredible." Christina Dugan Ramirez is a freelance entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.
"They say that the Amazonian warriors have done this historically to heighten their senses for hunting. And I certainly had this feeling of being clearer and wide open from that, but it was pretty brutal in terms of what it does to the body in the moment. It only takes 15 minutes, but it's a real purge – it's coming out both ends at different times sometimes. Although that didn't happen the first time, but in subsequent times that I've tried it."
