Good morning. If you're someone who loves a health "cleanse," then you might be interested in Orlando Bloom's recent activity.
Orlando Bloom has posted a picture of himself undergoing a £10,000 blood-filtering procedure designed to remove microplastics and other chemicals from his body.
Bloom praised the treatment for helping to clear his body of "toxic chemicals," while some scientists stated that the benefits are unclear.
Benefits or not, we have no doubt that a blood-cleansing station will be set up in Bondi in a matter of weeks.
