Orlando Bloom has spoken about the controversial scene in his new film, Bucking Fastard, where his character is involved in a three-way relationship with real-life sisters Rooney and Kate Mara. In the film, Bloom plays Gareth Mulroney, a man who becomes entangled with the Holbrooke sisters, Joan and Jean, portrayed by Rooney and Kate Mara. The storyline has drawn attention due to the fact that the two actresses are actual sisters in real life. The characters share a unique bond in the film, speaking in unison, dressing identically, and even sharing dreams. They also fall in love with the same man, creating a complex and unusual dynamic. During an interview at the San Sebastián Film Festival in Spain, Bloom discussed the film’s most talked-about scene. He described it as a reflection of the characters’ “carnal desires,” while also highlighting the “innocence” of the sisters. Bloom noted that his character, Gareth, is sensitive and quickly finds himself out of his depth. He called the scene “a very sincere moment,” emphasizing the emotional weight behind it. He also praised the real-life sisters for their seamless chemistry on screen, saying they seemed to move, breathe, and think as if they were dreaming together. German director Werner Herzog, who directed the film, shared his perspective on the scene, saying that he often lets actors take the lead in such moments. He told Bloom, “You are in bed, and you have two women in your arms. How you deal with it, I cannot give instructions.” Herzog praised the scene for its charm and depth, acknowledging the unique challenge it presented. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival in September, where Bloom, Rooney, and Kate walked the red carpet together. Bloom had previously discussed the role at the Toronto International Film Festival, describing his character as a “simple guy” who stumbles into a complicated situation. The film explores the evolving relationship between Gareth and the sisters, eventually leading to a legal conflict when the sisters damage his property in an act of revenge. Bloom praised the film for refusing to judge its characters or offer easy answers, a key focus of Herzog’s direction. He called the experience a “bucket-list opportunity” and expressed admiration for working with both the director and his co-stars.
