Orlando Bloom From Behind
Mon, 17 March 2008 at 12:45 am
Orlando Bloom heads out to Malibu with a mystery male for lunch on Sunday afternoon.
Is it just me or does Orlando look exceptionally happy these days? CoughMirandaKerrCough.
Orly, 31, has been reportedly getting fit to be in the Johnny To-directed kung-fu film, The Red Circle. He’s been receiving martial arts and other types of physical training. Production in Hong Kong begins later this year.

1st?
FIRST.
hotttie!
Eric Bana does the best impersonation of Orlando! It’s hilarious!
They are really good buddies too, which is soo cool.
Yeah hes happy cos Miranda isnt with him lol
jared, better read your last thread on her before you assume so much.
I have a feeling Miranda doesn’t want anymore post about her here.
Jared, I see thru your wind up’s, 1st we had “Orlando likes em flexable” on MK’s post yesterday and now hes happy cos of Miranda??? LMAO I get you are trying to wind us up- it don’t work hun well not on me it doesnt lol
Miranda Kerr is the shiz.
Don’t diss her.
I reckon they make a cute couple thank you very much.
Actually.. maybe Jared has seen the last thread.. think about it anal- “orlando from behind?” bit of a coincidence
Aussie… and then you woke up.
Is Miranda still with Orlando??
Yuck. Can’t stand him.
*******!!! ******* *******!!!!! HATE YOU! HATE HIM!!!
scruffy?!
If you are who you say you are from the other thread. I think you should have a friend email Jared-or do it yourself- and tell him to stop linking your names. It will keep coming up in the same threads.
I WILL -AND I SAY IT NOW JARED, YOU HAVE BEEN GREAT IN THE PAST BUT IT’S OVER LEAVE ME OUT OF HIM!!!!!!!
Orlando is so damed sexy, if he is single then I can forgive him! PMSL Wow is that an ass I see… woo hoo! let me squeeze it hunni pie!!!
he’s so hot!!
You can’t beat pics where he is on his own- no distractions He looks so gorgeous though, I want to jump on his behind
lmao!!!
miranda kerr is so ugly! ewww i think kate bosworth and orlando was cuter…too bad they broke up
Ok, now this might be hard for some but how about we dont mention or talk about MK in this thread? Let’s not give her the link to his name. As far as I’m concerned she isn’t in the pics so why discuss her? Let’s not give Jared or Miranda any satisfaction.
Lets just admire the sexy. Lets try=PLEASE??
What a handsome man!

When he smiles like that, I can’t help but smile too.
Love the bum shot.
so if he isn’t in Hong Kong already, why the need to drop out
of the other movie?
This lucky b*stard is doing the gorgeous Miranda Kerr, i’m soooo jealous
I’ve just seen some other pictures and i think that mystery dude is Eric Bana
Orlando is cute and Miranda is beautiful.
It’s a shame that there’s no pics of sexy Miranda
Is happy because he is “in love” or he is happy because he is relieved that she is gone…either way, I’m glad that he looks better now. He always seems to look a lot better in the pics where he is not with her. Just an assessment…*shrugs*
He looks just fine to me. Been kinda miserable lately but he seems to have a good time here. Maybe it has nothing to do with girls, he might just be happy to be working again soon.
The mystery dude IS bald Eric Bana lol lol !
Orlando was best with Naomie Harris. She was the only naturally pretty one among the ugly dogs that chased him (Kate, Penelope, Miranda, Rumer).
It seems he’s off the An Education project for certain. Check out the following:

I wonder what “the misunderstanding” was.
Hey dumb@$$, that “mystery male” is Eric Bana.
I wonder what “the misunderstanding” was.
=====
It’s called a “scheduling conflict,” and it happens all the time. Sorry, no scandal to be had this time. For once, he didn’t do anything wrong. But don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll do something else unforgivable to get tongues wagging, like returning library books late, or not looking both ways before crossing the street.
He was probably fired. Be real, the writer is hinting at more than just a scheduling conflict.
No photos of the mystery lunch companion ie Eric Bana. What a shame - I’d rather see his ar$e. Never mind.
Orlando left the production in a huff because his role was cut down. His ego couldn’t handle it and everyone on the prod. was bitterly dissappointed. Ugly situation.
waou!!!!she is so hoottttt!!!!and really handsome!!!SPAIN love you,orlando!!!!!!
Wow, I’d say Miranda you scored yourself a real winner, a boy who likes it from behind and wears Mary-Janes, aw!
What makes you think that? Not saying that isn’t very possible, just wondering if you are speculating or actually have some info on it.
i love my air rift shoes. i am on my second pair which are totally worn out. i wear them to walk my dogs because the velcro is so easy to get on & you don’t have to wear socks. i wanted to get a pair for my dad but i can’t find them for men. they aren’t on the nike website. thanks for the post as i now know they make them for men so i will continue my search!
Proving yet again Orlando doesn’t give a sh!t what anyone thinks… look at the shoes… 90’s flashbacks. Regardless I’d still take him!
Where is this mystery man you speak of? Am I blind???
what’s that smell?
wow this is the first time i’ve seen him smile in a long time he looked so miserable in the other pictures
Looks just like the front….
here’s the ones with eric bana
http://elflady.com/orlandolove/showpost.php?p=580250&postcount=6
so has he been in London but just got back to LA after the AE mess?
If thats true I’m sure it will come out in the open.
How can he do something like that if a contract was signed?
Lovely men, scruff and all. Don’t care why Orlando is smiling, just that he IS.
Mary-Janes? WTF? The slammers are even stupider than usual today.
Orlando dropped out of An Education because he’s allergic to London. That happens when you become a Hollywood sellout. He looks terrible scruffy does not work on him.
Those shoes look like a cross between an orthopaedic shoe and Mary Janes for little girls. Otherwise the man is scruffy good! I still dig him just not the shoes but then again he seems to like the crazy throwback shoes.
yes he looks happy. Love him!!!!!
Oh, your info is so old, Jared. Didn’t you see her crying when he left her apartment in Feb? They are SO OVER. She started telling everyone “her secret” in her shoots in Jan/Feb and had her publist call the PAPs everytime they went out so he broke up and went public deep throat with long-face Willis in March just to piss her off. Someone’s now doing limbo in Miami and hooked up with “someone we E! Keep UP with” while the other one is in Malibu getting buff for the next movie. Oh yeah, he’s happy he doesn’t have that sap-sucker around!
NY was just the last straw. I think after what she did at Christmas she was able to cry and beg her way back. Then she was quiet for like a minute, then she started doing it again. Yeah, she defintely called in all those silly sightings that second week. I think the London pictures might have been him giving in out of guilt as he was trying to ween his way out of the whole thing since Christmas.
If she did spend his birthday with him in Jan, then she was back in NY right after that for a shoot so it was only that one week and then the miserable week in NY when they split.
Since it turns out the Daily Mail was right about his movie thing it makes me wonder if they were also giving the ’scoop’ on that Jennifer Aniston thing since they have the same pr team. Maybe it was to take the focus off of her since it said he was “casually linked” to Miranda only
So are you saying she hooked up with Brody? There was a sighting of them in a blog hanging out after the event and also a pic of them in a picture booth that someone thought was maybe a way to say something to OB after his booth pics with RW. It wasn’t a romantic pic at all so I doubt that-just a coincidence.
I LOVE ORLANDO! I LOVE ORLANDO! I LOVE ORLANDO!
I HOPE ORLANDO KICKS ASS IN THIS FILM. GOOD LUCK BEAUTIFUL AND I HOPE IT’S A REALLY BIG HIT.And yes i agree, he’s happy because that fish eyed girl is not around. Did I mention, I LOVE ORLANDO!
for Hornby to make that much of a comment is pretty telling. He is letting everyone know that it was Orlando’s fault, and he may have shot himself in the foot with his prima dona act there. He has left a bad taste in alot of peoples mouth with that act, and they are people who are important in Brithish films. Any bets on which movie will be the more crtically acclaimed. I think that a British film with respected actors may do better than an Asian kung fu type movie. The boy doen’st make great choices does he. And it seems he does everything possible to stay out of London, I wonder what the whole story behind that is. He went from loving London to not wanting to set foot init. I wonder if his mom and sister and old friends have told him that he is acting like an ass and they want to kick that ass, like he said they would if he started to act like a Hollywood sellout, oh wait he is acting like a Hollywood sell out
Love him, love the smile. Don’t care about anything else except that he’s working again. Can’t wait for buff adventure/kung fu Orlando! Finally, a new movie on the horizon. Will definitely keep me smiling.
Other than knowing that Hornby is ticked off about the situation, I don’t think that you can read anything else into his blog comment. He says “misunderstanding” - for all we know the producers/director misunderstood something about Orlando’s availability. I don’t think we can assume that the situation is Orlando’s fault.
Oh, WTF, around Nov-Dec we heard news of Brad Pitt getting out of at least two or three films. It probably happens all the time, except screenwriters don’t necessarily blog about it that often. So he left. Deal with it!
quote from Hornby’s blog
Orlando Bloom, by the way, is no longer a part of the cast of ‘An Education’. There was – ahem – a misunderstanding. It’s best not to say any more than that.
That sounds like more that a scheudling conflict, that sounds like Bloom was acting like an ass and he could say something more that would not be flattering to Bloom, but is choosing not to. Very different than schduling problems. Sounds as though he made some enemines, not a very wise move for someone whose career is on the skids

@#59: I can’t read that “ass-behavior” anywhere in this text but maybe that’s just me. Sure there could have been something that went seriously wrong but on the other hand it doesn’t have to be on Orlando’s side.
I will start to scratch my head if he is not starting to shoot anytime soon cause that would mean that there were no schedule-problems but maybe the $$ was not big enough…
It doesn’t help to complain about spilled milk. And “The Red circle” was a great movie and I will give him a chance to ruin it before I definitely say he will.
….he got out because his role was cut I don’t think that is a huge deal.
His choice. He signed up for one thing and then it turned into something else that he didn’t want. If I agree to plan A and then you give me Plan B instead, I feel I have a right to change my mind.
OMG FCUK ME!!!!!!!
Your right.
The fangirlies just don’t want to believe it; they’re just relieved that the VS model affair seems to be over, so they’re willing to forgive and forget and resume worshipping at the temple.
If it were just a schedule conflict, then everyone would be saying it; it does happen all the time–no shame in it. But instead we get the blog entry.
Bloomie’s shot himself in the foot again. Enemies indeed. Amongst people who didn’t hold him in high esteem to begin with; people who are important in the film AND theatre business.
Sad to see, but he is spiralling, and for the usual reasons, even if his fans don’t want to admit it. Some of his fans at least.
Yes, avoiding London at all costs.
Seems he beget quite a few problems for which he doesn’t take responsibility. His rep isn’t going to get any better after this round of sh**e.
show some proof then maybe people will believe it.
You can assume all you want from the blog entry but it is just that
your assumptions.
Maybe more news will follow but until then it is anyone guess
BTW I love the thread on the MK-Soho pics. No one gives a damn for half a day, and then boom! A group of shippers post “omg she’s pretteeee” in a row. Makes me LOL.
Sorry to mention here but I didn’t wanna post there.
Just like a small number of fans assumed a few things about those Atelier pictures a year ago and were shouted out as “crazy to assume” from pictures and tab spin.
Uh-huh.
Sorry honey, but I’m sticking with MY gut instincts when it comes to Bloom– I think he was the ugly misunderstanding behind the pullout too.
Face it. He’s changed–and not for the better.
aww i love him i think him and miranda are a good couple
if they even are
fine. Stick with your gut feeling. But you admitted its just that. No proof yet.
If they changed what was offered in the first place then he has a right to change his mind.
Orlando left An Education due to the fact that it conflicted with the timing of his other movie; Le Cercle Rouge. It has nothing to do with his ego.
Wonder how long before we hear he and his UK management have decided to go their separate ways? He definately has chosen Hollywood and everything that goes with it.
I feel sorry for his old friends and family.
He really has seemed to turn his back on the UK. Too bad. He could still learn a lot from people over there. They just don’t kiss his celebrity ass enough I guess.
I’m not so sure that you’ll see them go separate ways. He took his UK manager with him to the BAFTAs, she also encouraged him to do ‘In Celebration’. On the other hand, I haven’t seen Aleen, his US manager for awhile.
So Valentines Day promo is over, so I guess he’s into the “off-again” segment of his on-again /off-again “relationship”?
Why does he always look happiest during the downtime portion of his relationships?
So he fu/cheats around and renigs on contracts?
Gee. Why don’t I like this new “I’ve turned thirty and won’t be so serious” Bloom so much?
Now I get it. Those two g*d-awful, cheesy, groaners of UNO commercials were really just audition tapes for this kung fu movie?
Groan 3.
Please, oh please. I thought this Red Circle was supposed to be a serious suspense film, not a silent Orlando Bloom and his Eyebrow action film.
@73. That would be a very interesting twist if these commercials and this new asian film were actually generated by his UK team, wouldn’t it? Maybe you’re right and its the Other that will be…whatever.
you know I heard yesterday that the new 2009 Corrola gets like 34mile to the gallon or something like that. Right up there with the pirus anyway.
thought that was interesting since he got so much flack for doing the commercial for that and it wasnt a hybrid but yet it gets better milage then some of the other hybrids
Actually the RED CIRCLE is apparently doubtful to be a kung fu martial arts based movie so people are saying, I agree he seems to be doing a lot of work in HK lately, I’m sure some here would say that maybe the SGI leader is to do with that? I can’t say because I know nothing about that Ikeda man. All I know is Orlando seems famous in Japan, I dont hold out much hope for him being really good in this movie as he seems to act the same in everything, and I can’t see that changing now.
Oh and regardless of whether it is “over” between him and MK, I still dont think he is a GREAT guy anymore, so nah I havent resumed anything , still think the same.
You tossers. You all speculate without knowing c**p. His part in An Education wasn’t cut down - he was already committed to Red Circle and it ended up the training and shooting schedules conflicted. He had hoped to be able to do both, and it didn’t work out. It was always a possibility when he signed for An Education because of the prior commitment. Nick Hormby got his knickers in a twist because of him dropping out and took it public. Classy.
And he spends time in L.A. because that’s where his business is - Hollywood is a company town. You’re a Wall Street banker, you live in NY. A U.S. Senator, you have homes in both DC and your home State.
But then neither explanation would make for juicy gossip and ripping someone apart, would it?
The truth- are you british I recognse 2 Brit words there lol
I agree with you though. People- why care what movie he is doing- he is working, and thats good enough IMO
the truth… LMAO is that supposed to be inside info? It aint everyone knows that already. Everyone is saying the same thing all over his fandom :/
Hollywood is a company town. All actors have to live there to work. Oh, so that’s why I haven’t seen James McAvoy, Keira Knightly, Johnny Depp, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ewan McGregor, Jude Law, Collin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, Cate Blanchett, Javier Bardem and Kate Winslet in any movies lately. Maybe we need to hook these folks up with a LA realtor so they can get some work.
@#82, you’re absolutely right. I’ve never seen photos of ANY of those people in L.A. Ever.
Just because one sees pap photos of someone in L.A. doesn’t mean they’re there full time. Sheesh.
So we have him dropping out and he’s automatically the bad guy? Nick Hornby can’t possibly be the bad guy in this situation? Are you guys freaking kidding me? You act like a bunch of scorned harpies because he dared to *gasp* act like a normal guy and sleep with a beautiful woman that he liked. Get over yourselves.
Well said.
I love orlando, but he’s wearing girl shoes…I hate girl shoes on guys.
I love the fact that you ex-fans are so damned predictable. If anything happens it HAS to be Orlando’s fault.
Hornby never said that it was Orlando’s misunderstanding, only that there was one. He could be angry at the director for not getting the timing right, and losing a major name for the film. He could have been mad that they butchered his script, changing roles around and making Orlando hate the changes. He could be p!ssed that losing Orlando, means that he lost a chance to open his work to a larger demographic.
We don’t know, yet you automatically rush to make Orlando the bad guy. As others have said, he is nothing but professional in his work, and has NEVER had a rep as being a Diva. Yet you want to hate him so bad, that you make stuff up just to spread your venom.
What we DO know, is that we originally heard that filming would take place during March and April, now the news states that it would film through May. A month is quite a difference. That screams ’scheduling conflict’ to me.
Oh come on ricki, with that then to you Orlando cant possibly be the bad guy tho can he? Think on this Hornby guy is a well respected writer and director, do you HONESTLY think that he is going to make up something, or pretend that he is pissed off just for no reason? Maybe YOU should face that Orlando isnt such a professional guy after all!!
Sleeping with a beautiful woman he liked? FFS we arent kids here, he has prob slept with beautifuller women than plain jane Miranda with the shark nose- he has had one night stands since the age of 16!!!! He has prob slept with near 80 women, Im sure a lot of them were gorgeous- what the hell has that to do with why people are suspect because a respected british writer and director is hinting at Orlando being less that professh!
Orlando is a joke here in the UK its more a case of Orlando who?? Nick Hornby is respected very much so, so I doubt he has just sour grapes that he had another film and couldnt do his- why would this experienced director give a two ton toss about something that apparently “happens all the time” added to that fact that Orlando must have had a “get out cluse” added to that said contract that Hornby himself will have agreed to, so why the hell would he be effed off about that if he knew it might happen anyway?? Think about it thicko!
Or maybe you should face the fact that you lack objectivity and the ability to read. Did I say Orlando isn’t at fault? No because I don’t have all the facts and neither do you. Jealous harpy, jealous harpy, jealous harpy.
Oh and Orlando most probably told them about his other committment, so they knew abotu his schedule before hand, and if they adjusted or changed theirs, then they had to have known it would affect if he could do the film or not. How’s that for logic? Is it hard for you to follow along?
LMAO jealous of what?? Tell me??
It’s you who can’t follow logic!! CANT YOU READ? I said that he had a get out clause in his contract because of the other movie duuhhh!! So they will have already known that! FFS talk to myself it seems
I see, he spent years building a house outside of London, a house he talked about, a house he went over budget on so it could have all the green elements he wanted, a house he shopped and cared about a great deal. And he built that house knowing that he would HAVE to live in LA. Sure the other actors mentioned show up in LA, Johnny Depp, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ewan McGregor, Jude Law, Collin Farrell, Ralph Fiennes, Cate Blanchett, Javier Bardem and Kate Winslet , but they don’t live there, Bloom has spent a total of four months in the home he lavished years in building. He has set foot once in London since September and then only for a quick weekend. This is the same guy that said the bad thing about making movies was missing his family and friends at home. And now when he has a chance to work in London, with the creme of London actors he backs out. And no it wasn’t scheduling problems because it has been announced that Red Circle isn’t filming until later this year. And since St. Bloom can do no wrong it is all Hornby’s fault for dropping a hint that he may have acted like an ass. Hornby who is a fantastic author, and a respected part of the British movie scene. If for no other reason is seems he should have kept the role to allow him sometime at home with his friends and family and to work in a respected British production that may have opened some other doors for him. His fans are the biggest bunch of ostriches I have ever seen. I truly believe they could find him with a bloody knife over a body while he confesses loudly that he did it, and his deluded fans would still say it wasn’t his fault. If anyone else but their sainted Orly had pulled half the crap he has and they would turn their backs in a minute.
@92 I don’t really see why couldn’t someone be a fantastic artist AND an a$$hole at the same time. Not saying NH is, just saying there’s no contradiction. I love his books btw. That blog entry hinting at conflicts was quite unprofessional though. Just my two cents.
IS THAT ERIC BANA????
I am not saying that it is possible, what I find funny is that Orlando is the one who dropped out, and used the pathetic excuse that it was schduling problems, he dropped out just as the production was beginning, and yet NH is the one who gets the blame because he let it slip that he wasn’t too happy about it. Why blame him, he didn’t do anything wrong other then be a bit peeved that an actor who accepted a role dumped the whole production because he didn’t get what he wanted. I would put NH accomplishments up against blooms any day, and 20 years ago he will still be a wonderful author and Orlando may well be just yesterdays flash in the pan.
you know I had always thought all miss kerr’s pap pics with bloom were set ups but wondered why the ones from the apartment she looked like crap. Now if what was said on the other thread is true, that she was planning on going with the buddha boy but he told her no at the last minute, it would make sense that she had called them thinking they would get pics of the happy couple going to the airport. Instead they got him going alone and her looking dejected holding the dog.
#92, congratulations - for someone who appears to not like Orlando, you show an amazing ability to keep track of all of his comings and goings.
And you must be up on international law as well. Last time I checked, it wasn’t a fooking crime to have homes in both the US and the UK. There are a LOT of people, show business or not, who own homes in both places. (Or, God forbid, like Brangelina, who have many homes all over the world. Why isn’t Interpol on the case?)
Hornby is indeed a good author, but that doesn’t immediately make him a nice person. By blogging what he did for everyone to see, he shows that he has a complete lack of class as a person. BTW, and he only has one other screenplay to his name - Fever Pitch. In spite of Colin Firth, the movie sucked. Or should I say the script?
Actors drop out of films for all kinds of reasons, and the reporting by the producers that it was due to a scheduling could mean it was just that. It isn’t some GREAT CONSPIRACY to screw up Hornby’s life, FFS. (Isn’t it also possible that the producers jumped the gun when they announced they had signed him, and citing a scheduling conflict is a graceful way to say they didn’t? Nah, that would never happen Hey maybe the script sucked. Did you ever think about that?)
And by ‘crap he’s pulled’, I assume you base that on facts as well. I don’t think he’s a saint (I hope not, that would make him boring as s**t), but you seem to be basing everything on gossip sites and magazines. To be so well educated on top of having a knack for deduction of a person’s character must be quite a burden.
Or it could just be that you’re taking the p*ss.
I agree with that #96, it makes much more sense lol
She looked like crap and he looked as though he didnt give a damn!
so classic, number one attack the poster who may disagree personally. That way you diminsh their crediablity, never mind it makes you look as though you can’t come up with a valid arguement to support your position
Yes people do own homes in more than one country, but typically they also live in those homes at least part of the time. He has been on a break, vacation or whatever since sept and yet has made no effort to spend anytine in his home that he says he loves in a house he lavished money and time on. No time living close to family and friends those who he said were the most important things in his life. Seems a bit odd doesn’t it
He was a producer on About a Boy, and wrote the novel High Fidelity. so yeah I think he has some credibilty where movies are concerned.
They jumped the gun, oh please it was in Variety and a number of other respected industry publications. I don’t think they would have announced in such reliable sources if they were jumping the gun. And if the script suckied why would he have signed on in the first place
He hasn’t made some of the best choices in his personal life, pawing women, the accident, and that is something we probably don’t agree on, cheating with a woman who was in a relationship with another man.
He has had several things annoucned that he would be in London for, film judge, etc and the only one he showed up for was the BAFTA;s and he spent like two days there and then left.
I think you are so desperate to explain anything away that doesn’t fit the carefull built image of Orlando Bloom and mr perfect you can’t be objective about some of his possible problems. Dream on, eventually you will have to admit that the man has his problems and the image and the person are two different things.
Just so ya know……tomorrow is “later this year”.
If Red Circle starts in May, THAT would be a freeking schedule conflict, since Education will still be filming.
What don’t you understand?
you really believe it is gonna start filming tomorrow, that is kind of reaching don’t you think. It will be interesting to see when it actually does start filming. And if Orlando’s part is small it seems like they could have gotten most of his stuff done first. The whole scheuling conflict was his teams way of saving face for him.
he is in CA and she is in NY, if there is true love why aren’t they together? Oh I forgot she has that important book to finish the one that is going to be such a inspiration for young girls about how to treasure yourself. You know the one that says live healthy, no jucie fast that makes you **** out everythink you eat, no jumping into bed with boys just because everyone is doing it, but to only sleep with someone because it is an important relationship, The one that says you should be secure in yourself as a woman and you don’t need a man to complete your or to make you valuable. Wait, SHE is writing this, Wow she must have one hell of a ghost writer lol Maybe Orlando will write a forward about how the reason he loves Miranda is she is a strong independent woman , who also loves anal sex, now that is something every young girl needs to know, anal sex will get you any guy you want.
@99 - Yeah, what the heck, I’ll rise to the bait.
so classic, number one attack the poster who may disagree personally.
~ You call that attacking? Shoot, I was aiming for sarcasm.
Yes people do own homes in more than one country, but typically they also live in those homes at least part of the time.
~ And he does. I must have missed something, he own two homes but never lives in either one? Always stays in a Hotel? You are making no sense at all.
No time living close to family and friends those who he said were the most important things in his life. Seems a bit odd doesn’t it
~ No, it doesn’t. There is such a thing as international telephone service, EMails, or flying said family and friends to L.A. when they can visit, as he has before. And, believe it or not, he may even have friends in L.A. (And family too.) In this set of pictures, he was with Eric Bana. OMGWTF??
He was a producer on About a Boy, and wrote the novel High Fidelity. so yeah I think he has some credibility where movies are concerned.
~ Producer credits are often given to authors as part of the deal when film rights are purchased; sometimes they actually ‘do’ something, sometimes they don’t. As for High Fidelity, I didn’t know that selling film rights were part of ‘credibility where movies are concerned’. He certainly has cred as an author. In films, not really proven, but that may come with time. (Though appearing to be dissing actors publicly may not be the best move.)
They jumped the gun, oh please it was in Variety and a number of other respected industry publications. I don’t think they would have announced in such reliable sources if they were jumping the gun. And if the script suckied why would he have signed on in the first place
~ Where do you think Variety and HReporter get their news on films and those in the film industry?? Producers or their publicists. And about the script sucking - it was a JOKE. Every other possibility that how it could have been Orlando’s fault has been mentioned, why not that?
He hasn’t made some of the best choices in his personal life, pawing women, the accident, and that is something we probably don’t agree on, cheating with a woman who was in a relationship with another man.
~ Pawing women? Yeah, according gossip sites/magazines (‘according to our source’). Accident? Caused by paparazzi. Cheating with a woman (meaning Miranda, I suppose)? Again, gossip sites/magazines - and blogs like this – guessing as to when Miranda and he started seeing each other as more than friends, and whether or not she was ‘cheating’.
He has had several things annoucned that he would be in London for, film judge, etc and the only one he showed up for was the BAFTA;s and he spent like two days there and then left.
~ Film judge: The press releases and articles about the competition said he was part of a panel judging the films, not that he’d be at the actual ceremony. I think Kevin Spacey is the only one who showed up, and that’s because he’s working there with his theatre company. They all likely saw the films via screeners, then cast their vote(s). Kinda like judging the Oscars, maybe? Speaking of Oscars, I noticed a lot of presenters, nominees and recipients flying to L.A. for only the ceremony, and leaving within a couple of days. Isn’t that the same?
I think you are so desperate to explain anything away that doesn’t fit the careful built image of Orlando Bloom and mr perfect you can’t be objective about some of his possible problems. Dream on, eventually you will have to admit that the man has his problems and the image and the person are two different things.
~ I didn’t say he was a saint or that he was perfect. I do, however, think is he unfairly judged - as many in the public spotlight are - because of gossip and innuendo that has no basis in fact. We all have problems (including me, including you). But passing judgment on someone’s ‘image’ or character based on gossip and innuendo? Reminds one of high school.
I think a lot of people in the public eye are given credit for a lot of things for which they don’t deserve - and a lot of criticism for things that simply aren’t true. It just isn’t right. Anybody can post something on the internet, be it MySpace, LJ or JJ. Choosing to believe it all reminds me of a diet pill commercial on TV these days – ‘we couldn’t say it if it wasn’t true’. Suuure.
Brava!
Bravo?
Whatever.
Great post!
#92 - Carey Mulligan, Dominic Cooper. Who?
I mean: ooh, a bit part with the ‘creme’ of London actors! Orlando’s career is ruined!
After all, it’s not like Orlando ever got to act with Ian McKellen or Cate Blanchett or Ian Holm. Instead he’s been stuck with international nobodies like Johnny Depp or Heath Ledger or Geoffrey Rush or Ewen McGregor or Tom Wilkinson or Kirsten Dunst or Edward Norton or…you get the idea.
Also, does it make any sense to spend all that money building a house and not go there? How do you know he doesn’t?
There’s a truly mind-boggling amount of talking out of one’s @$$ going on here. This board is peopled by those who think that anything they don’t read about doesn’t exist and fill in the gaps with their own prejudices and leaps of illogic. For example, #102 has somehow decided that she knows Miranda’s sexual preferences based on some stupid innuendo she probably misunderstood. For all we know, Miranda might like it that way, but leaping to the conclusion that you actually know….
I have never seen so much hate and bitterness directed at someone who is not perfect but hasn’t done anything to deserve this.
Except possibly for poor Rumer Willis when she was seen in Orlando’s vicinity.
Pam, i love you.
well said PAM:D and as for all the haters haha your all idiots. You obviously hate the guy yet there doesn’t seem to be a single poster on here that knows more about him than you lot do lol Please don’t tell me that you actually go to the length of researching a person in order to help you validate your hate out loud for every body to hear duh! wow what sad little people you are. I think that some people on here are sporting some mighty egos and blatantly getting off on putting others down. All that energy that you waste typing out your bitter jealous words of hate could be spent doing things way more useful, like jamming your fingers in your eyes you sad little cretins haha seriously get a life or just shut the fcuk up
These must be the pictures to prove that he’s not in rehab (unless it’s one of those places that let you out during the day). At least not yet!
Oh, we are in that “everyone-gets-at-everyone”-status again. I won’t say that everyone disagreeing with me is sad, pathetic or jealous. If they have another opinion, let them be. As long as they don’t freakily go on my nerves and try to convince me that their opinion is the only one worthy to exist.
But if you want to get at each other what becomes absolutely senseless in the end, go for it! Who am I to keep you back?
@108: What exactly was it that some people thought he was in rehab? I kind of forgot. Was there a concrete reason or just a random shot?
@pam: And since the HB-article we all know what her preferences are…LOL
Never mind, just kidding!
Or he’s simply not in rehab. I love how everyone here takes comments anons those turn into facts.
EVERYONE: The world does not revolve around Orlando Bloom. Read a quality book or watch the news. You all need perspective.
PS: I’ll take Orlando Bloom from behind any day. Okay, NOW I feel better.
THEY TRIED TO MAKE HIM GO TO REHAB AND HE SAID NO, NO, NO
Wow you have a lot of time on your hands.
Sarcasm huh, well you missed
No one said he wasn’t living in his house in Hollywood, but he has spent a total of four months in the one he spent years building in London, and it isn’t as though work is keeping him away, hmmm and with the writers strike it isn’t as though there was much in Hollywood keeping him away either. Wonder why he hasn’t been home for months to spend some time in this house he talked about in many many interviews.
Not unreasonable to think it was his fault, he is the one who dropped out just a few days before filming started.
email and visits and phone calls are great things when you can’t get away to go home, but that isn’t the problem with him and it hasn’t been for over five months. and while a visit for a week or so is great, why not go back to London, which he considers home, and spend some time with some of those friends who may not be able to drop everything and fly to LA?
Hornby, respected, talented, responsible and not pulling out of his contract
Bloom not so respected as an actor, leaving film and everyone in a lurch, many doubt his talent
pawing women, yeah if it was reported only one or two places I would blow it off, but it is said about him consistently in many different sources while he has been in several different countries, hmmmm may be something to that after all
Accident caused by paps, then why no charges brought forward, If it was for sure with witnesses and all it seems they would have an open shut case, yet nothing seems odd. Of course the fact that he looked a little wasted may have something with no one wanting to pursue it. He dodged a bullet with that one and I think he and his pr people know it. They just want keep quiet and let it fade away.
It seems just as high school to ignore obvious problems the man has and to explain everything away by saying it is only gossip or tabloids. My that tactic then Britteny Spears is the sanest and most down to earth person on the planet and only the victim of those nasty paps who make her life miserable.
I think you have a little hero worship going on with Orlando and you can’t stand the fact that he is has some flaws, some fairly significant flaws. Is he a horrible awful person, no he, in my opinion is someone who isn’t handling fame very well and could use some help from those family and friends he said he was gonna count on to bring him back down to earth.
Now if you have another treatise you intend to write, give me some time, I actually have a job that I need to spend sometime on, I don’t have the endless amounts of time that you do to pen epics on the heroic attributes of Orlando Bloom
The reason he looks so happy is he had finally decided to make it public that he likes it in the behind, must be hard to have to always pretend he likes the girls instead of admitting he is one of the girls
I’d hate to do this just when the conversation was getting really heavy but, any of you gals got any pics of Orlando bare naked ass?
All this talk about blah, blah, blah, …ANAL SEX… blah, blah, blah…LONDON has really got me wanting to put a finger or two up his ****! He seems like the type who’d giggle once it’s in.
…and by ****, I mean cornhole. Thanks for blocking **** but not ass, Jared!
