EP 28: Solitary Confinement To Filming Movies With Chris Hemsworth | CJ Bloomfield’s Insane Story

Welcome to episode 28 of The Pocket with Chris Griffin! Wow, wow, wow… This episode is probably my favourite to date. I sit down with CJ Bloomfield, a man whose life story sounds like something straight out of a movie. CJ's journey is nothing short of extraordinary, going from a life immersed in crime and gang culture to being sentenced to 28 years in prison. However, fate had other plans for him—he served just 2 years after his two biggest charges were dropped. But what CJ did with those 2 years is what makes his story truly remarkable. While in solitary confinement, CJ began honing his acting skills, using the graffiti on his cell wall as an imaginary camera. Little did he know that this practice would set him on a path that would change his life forever. Two years after leaving prison, CJ landed a role in a movie alongside Chris Hemsworth, and his life took a complete 180. Now, he's on track to becoming a major A-list celebrity with some massive projects in the works. We dive deep into his incredible transformation, discussing the lessons CJ learned along the way, the healing journey he's undertaken, and what it takes to turn your life around in the most profound way possible. I could write a full book recapping this episode but I will leave it there - you will just have to tune in! I’m excited to hear your thoughts.
