The 47-year-old actor opened up about the ordeal in more detail while on Trevor Noah's 'What Now?' podcast.

'To the Edge': Orlando Bloom on Doing Extreme Stunts and Support From Katy Perry & Kids M. Night Shyamalan: 'Trap' Trailer No.

Bloom, now 47, recalled visiting a friend's apartment in west London's Notting Hill neighborhood. They had just moved in but were having trouble accessing the apartment's terrace because the door wouldn't open. And that's when a then-20-year-old Bloom decided to jump into action, an"ADD impulsiveness," as he called it."I looked out the window ... and I'm like, 'I could just jump that.

After paramedics kicked the door in to the unoccupied first-floor apartment, they tended to Bloom, whose problems were only getting started. He said the nearest hospital was not in a position to take in patients, prompting paramedics to call a hospital in north London. Bloom says it took the ambulance a staggering five hours to get him to the hospital because the ambulance had to drive"at walking pace" due to the severity of his injuries. The ambulance even came with a police escort. The severity of his injuries included an almost-severed spinal cord. He also said that he felt a razor blade-like sensation running up his legs with every touch,"almost like electricity.
