Orlando Bloom Details Filming 'Bucking Fastard' Threesome Scene with Rooney & Kate Mara | Just Jared

Orlando Bloom is dishing on his new movie Bucking Fastard.

The 49-year-old actor plays the character of Gareth alongside Rooney and Kate Mara in the new Werner Herzog-directed film.

Bucking Fastard “is about two sisters, Jean and Joan Holbrooke (played by the Mara sister), who are so close to each other that they speak in unison, love the same man, and have the same dreams. They even make the same slip of tongue in unison. We cannot see the world as they see it, but we do see how the world reacts to them – through the courts and the press, through those that want to help and those who want to use them, through the eyes of beasts both tame and wild, and even through their own echoes in the core of the earth.”

While promoting the new movie at the 2026 San Sebastián Film Festival in Spain, Orlando detailed filming the threesome scene with Rooney, 41, and Kate, 43.

Orlando first noted to Variety that there’s “such simplicity to the characters and [their] carnal desires, but also an innocence to the sisters.”

“My character, the Bucking Fastard, is sensitive too,” he added. “And he’s quite quickly out of his depth in some ways. It was a very sincere sort of moment that was created.”

Werner then shared his approach to filming the steamy scene.

“There are moments when a director has to step back,” the filmmaker said. “In the love scene, I said to Orlando, ‘You are in bed, and you have two women in your arms. How you deal with it, I cannot give instructions.’ It is beautiful because it has such charm and depth.”
