  • Interview: Orlando Bloom
    Interview: Orlando Bloom With his soulful dark eyes, good looks, and dark brown hair, Orlando Bloom cuts a very dashing image as he resumes the sexy role of Will Turner in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest," the second installment of a three-part trilogy directed by Gore Verbinski. When Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) gets himself into more trouble, his problems throw a huge wrench into Will’s blissful plans to wed Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), and the couple find themselves embroiled in yet another exciting and comic misadventure with the craziest pirate of the high seas. Q: What's the attraction of doing these films? Is it a fulfillment of your childhood fantasy? Bloom: My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies. I play characters that are larger than life...getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, a soldier... I've really lived out all of my childhood fantasies. "Pirates" wasn't like living out another childhood fantasy. It was just a great opportunity to work with some great people like Johnny Depp. It was a big draw. I've always admired him as a young actor. When I signed up to do the first one it was… to be on set with somebody like him, to see how he handles himself, to see how he goes about it… it was a real privilege. You learn as you go, so I did that. Q. What's the scariest or the most challenging scene you've shot? Bloom: That's a good question. I think the wheel.

    3/5/2020 Orlando Bloom Biography - life, family, childhood, children, name, story, school, mother, young World Biography (../in… / A-Ca (index.html) / Orlando Bloom Bi… Orlando Bloom Biography January 13, 1977 • Canterbury, England Actor Bloom, Orlando. AP/Wide World Photos. Reproduced by permission. Orlando Bloom is best known for playing the elf warrior Legolas Greenleaf in the epic film trilogy The Lord of the Rings. His ability as an actor was appreciated by critics, but the bigger story was that over the course of the three films Bloom attracted an enormous number of fans. Although his naturally dark features were disguised by a waist-length blonde wig, blue contact lenses, and pointy ears, young girls the world over discovered a new heartthrob. Bloom's success as Legolas opened doors for the classically trained English actor, who has gone on to appear in a number of other critically acclaimed movies. In addition, he became one of the hottest young properties in Hollywood, making Entertainment Weekly 's "It list" in 2003. Early bloomer Orlando Bloom was born on January 13, 1977, in Canterbury, England. His mother, Sonia, ran a foreign language school; his father, Harry, was a human rights activist, lawyer, and author. Before moving to Canterbury the elder Blooms lived in South Africa, where Harry Bloom (1913–1981) was a fierce fighter in the struggle against apartheid, a policy of racial segregation. When Orlando was only four years old, his father died after suffering a stroke. He and his older sister, Samantha, were raised by their mother, who had a profound effect on her children.
