He basically worked for exposure and in this case it worked. Yes 175k is a lot of money but for a big budget trilogy it’s definitely on the lower end. People also underestimate how long those shooting days are. It’s not uncommon for principal photography to have 16 hour shooting days. Shooting those movies back to back must have been tough for everyone on set.
It's also one of the few cases where it truly works and even then it wasn't guaranteed to work, because the movies could've easily flopped if they weren't well made.
But he took a gamble and it paid off. I'm happy for him. Still, sucks that production companies can lure actors into salaries this low - apparently even leads on some newer streaming series are having trouble making ends meet if they have to rent an apartment in LA, etc. In that regard, Bloom had it easy compared to some of the young actors these days (not to discredit the incredible achievement of surviving shooting 3 literal epics back to back).
