Bloom's dedication to the role was evident on set, according to his costar, Caitríona Balfe. Balfe described Bloom as looking "gaunt" prior to filming, with a transformation that was both physically striking and emotionally affecting.
"You can do stuff like that when you're on your own, it's one thing about being single. We were all younger before we had families [and] you can kind of throw yourself into something. But when you have to come home, and you have to be a parent," Balfe said, recognizing the added challenges of balancing family life with the demands of such a demanding role.
