Orlando Bloom has shared a look at his intense workouts in Queensland as he shoots a new movie in the state.

The 45-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actor, who has just begun filming new film Wizards! in Far North Queensland, took to Instagram on Monday to share a series of shirtless videos of himself during a training session at a local gym.

“I broke my back when I was 19 and they said I’d never walk again,” Bloom captioned the post.

Last year he discussed in a separate Instagram post that he had experienced a near-fatal accident in 1998, during which he fell three floors and crushed his spine, narrowly escaping paralysis.

While staying in Queensland, Bloom is training at a specialist gym in Port Douglas, having made an agreement with the venue.

The Hollywood star has been repeatedly spotted at the gym since arriving in the region earlier this month with his fiance, pop star Katy Perry, and their daughter Daisy Dove, one.

Bloom joins Pete Davidson, Naomi Scott, Franz Rogowski and Sean Harris in Wizards!, a new film from Australian director David Michôd that reunites A24 and Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment.

The film follows two hapless beach-bar operators (Davidson and Rogowski) who run into trouble when they stumble across stolen loot.

Bloom was spotted filming scenes on the beaches of Cape Tribulation late last week, in which he appeared to be shirtless.
