Orlando Bloom throws on his leather jacket and mounts a custom motorcycle before zooming down a street in Sydney, Australia on Wednesday.
Orly, 31, was spotted picking and choosing between a number of different custom motorcycles at Sydney’s bike store Deus Ex Machina.
Mr. Bloom is in town with his main squeeze, Australian ‘Victoria’s Secret’ angel Miranda Kerr.

hes wearing the same yellow gloves that he was wearing in the pics from england when his bike broke down…he mustve known he was going to do some riding there
Hmm, perhaps he also brought them to go riding in Melbourne with family.
Or maybe he takes those gloves everywhere since he’s a motorcycle enthusiast in case he gets a chance to ride? Is there some big deal about him bringing his own gloves along that I’m missing? I’m all for a good conspiracy theory but sometimes gloves are just gloves?
It just looks like he had his own agenda for this trip.
Good to see him enjoying himself.
I dont see anybody getting at a conspircay theory here- but that may just be me, I just take it as “He knew he would be riding” - and more than likely he did, whats so conspiracy about that? In NZ he loved to ride motorbikes there over the rough terrain, so yeah I would imagine he planned or thought “I fancy going riding when I’m there”.
But maybe I am wrong and they are getting at conspiracy LOL!
LOL, I probably read too much into it. People analyze a lot so I thought y’all we’re looking for a deep meaning to the gloves. I agree, he was likely planning to have some fun when they let him out of his cage. LOL.
#92 here. I wasn’t going with a huge theory. Just making a joke about him going to Melbourne. I agree gloves are just gloves.
Slow news day. Am I correct that its been two days since she told the world what he was doing or thinking?
Me thinks maybe she was told to shut the bloody —- up or something.
If he hasn’t left yet they are probably on their way back soon. I wonder if they will go together or try to make it look that way again? You know they (at least she) is aware of what is said so they will probably try harder to make it look real.
If thats the end of the trip it was very telling.
+She told OK she wasn’t sure if he was spending her birthday with her even though he was in the same city
+They arrive at the airport different times and we get strange pics-none of them with the two of them together.
+ Wireimage sponsored lunch to document first time of meeting pops but he arrives and leaves on his own.Only seen with Miranda in
set up table by the window
+Makes appearance at races
+Sighting in Melbourne. Although not verified it was three people who seem to all think it was him
+Strange excuses of his absense from miranda about jet lag and being holed up in his hotel room-
+Above bike store pics which some dispute the day they were taken.
LOL Cage is the word
No pictures of Orlando leaving or arriving in L.A, I wondering if he would be heading to Hong Kong to meet with the director of the red circle. What happened to all the training he was suppose to be doing?
Yes, two whole days. LOL! I wonder too about the exit strategy from Oz. I suppose she’d want to make it look good. I don’t know what he’ll do. Maybe he’ll play along for some hand-holding entering the airport pictures or maybe he’ll insist they must walk in seperately.
I agree that the trip has been telling. Not nearly what she wanted it to be. I chalk that up to Orlando’s insolence. This whole weird trip made the entire thing appear even more fake.
I guess when he gets back to LA he’ll have jet lag again and won’t be able to go out for a week? LOL.
I too can’t wait to see how they exit. Kind of funny that its such a show now that that is even a big deal. Who will win in this pr game of chicken? lol. Will she get her show or will he dodge it again. My hope is that he is ticked at her “I know where he is 24hrs a day” comments and won’t be into it at all.
I don’t know how much of her quotes get back to him or not but I hope the future house plans did as well. I remember Orlando said in an interview recently that the favorite parts of his new house were his bedroom and the bathroom. After she made her comments which were just so close to everything Orlando had said he wanted it made me wonder if Orlando has a reallyhuge bathtub (since he said the bath was his favorite-there must be something special about it) and maybe even a hammock out back. Don’t comments like that scare the heck out of men? It’s like she is saying ” I want to live in YOUR house”.
I am quite sure they will leave together. All in all why shouldn’t they.
That is indeed a showmans they have. Orlando hasn’t been mentioned in the press so often for year as now for one week.
I’m quite possitive we’ll get some photos from LA after they arrive.
All in all, the show(mans) must go on..
Unless the showmance is hurting him more than helping, and I think he is beginning to see that may be the case. He can dump her find someone who is a little better at the whole thing (keeps their mouth shut and just smiles pretty when they have a few set ups) and he will still keep his name out there, while she will fade like mist in the early morning sun. All she has is him, he still has enough clout that any gril would do, and there are a lot of hungry starlets or models who would be easier for him to control. She is a spoiled little b*tch that has always had what she wanted, and has a huge ego and a very inflated view of herself. He picked the wicked witch of the West. and he could do better in the showmance stakes by picking someone a little more low key. I think this whole trip has been her death knell with him.
Why should they leave together?
They didn’t arrive together.
Their announced arrival date and pre-arranged photo op with wireimage was changed.
They’ve only been seen together twice in a week and a half.
@ ducati
Excellent thought about Orlando going to Hong Kong to meet with the director. That would be the best thing he could do to move the attention away to this showmance and back onto his career. Although she did say that “they” would be returning to LA, but then she’s included him in all kinds of comments with dubious elements of truth to them.
I think the whole cachet of dating a VS model may be overshadowed by the press and her making it sound like she has his balls in her purse. I mean the whole I am dating a VS model is to prove that you have more balls than the other guys, not that they have been removed and placed into said VS model’s keeping. Hope he gets them back when he breaks up with her.
Do you have a link to the article where he talks about his house - or is it an interview? I’d be interested in checking it out. Thanks.
using your logic why didn’t they arrive together either?
It could have been a simple thing with a simple picture of the
two but it was loaded with speculation none of which played well for her.
wow the man is looking hot i hope that he does a movie as soon as possible could it be possible he may go to london next?
I may have heard wrong but I listened twice and I was sure that while she said he was staying for the week she said “I” go back to LA.
I was reading the end posts on the last OB thread, and it seems to me a lot of folks are speculating whether her ex is in on this, and that this really is just all for PR.
I just can’t buy that because this drama/attention- seeking has been quite hurtful to both of them and their reps. Not only within his fandom, but also outside it. I’m not going to do a detailed review of all the drama these past months, most of us know it anyway, but even the mainstream outlets(HB/MSNBC/Fox/LATimes/NYP/E!/others I’ve probably forgotten) have questioned/snarked about this “union”. H*ll, even JJ, and today Forbes, have phrased things…interestingly…when referring to them. Everyone seems to be getting a weird vibe.
Point is, while they certainly dance and prance for the cameras and tabs, if this is all just for PR, it went south a looonnng time ago, and probably would have been dropped. So, sad to say, I think Jay really did get the shaft,and she and Bloom are deserving of every liar, cheater ,famewh*re, starf*cker/modelf*cker, gameplayer, user, *****, lowlife, lowclass desperate celebrity name that’s been hurled at them.
I hold no sympathy for either one.
I understand his fans wanting to hope in any reason that might exonerate him, but I think the time has passed for the “Orlando Bloom, Victim” profile. The only one he’s a victim of is himself.
Please don’t hold your breaths; they aren’t going seperate ways for a long time I suspect. TwueLuvForeva? Oh no no no-these two aren’t capable of such things, but eventually one will backstab the other to an inexcusable degree and it will be done.
Which leaves us with the $6M question.
How many of his fans/former fans are truly willing to continue hanging around and watching this? Why?
Are you really willing to give someone who has proven himself so undeserving(IMO), any more of your time, attention- in some cases money- but most importantly, your focused Good Will?
Is it time to shut things down and move on?
Lol. Just wondering what others might be thinking.
@108
I think London doesn’t agree with him anymore. I have several theories about why. Maybe he has had a falling out with his family because he has let fame go to his head. In some manner or another he made a complete ass of himself last summer while he was doing his play. He doesn’t get enough attention there, like he does in LA. Not only are his family put out with him, maybe some of his friends are too.
I remember him saying they would kick his ass if he let all this go to his head, and he might be fearful of said ass kicking, cause it sure looks like it has gone to his head. That is just for starters.
jj isn’t letting you post links it seems so here is a cut and paste of part of the article.
hope it works.
The house you are building, is it in London?
The house here in England. It has taken a year to build. I am trying to make it a ‘green’ house and a place which feels safe and comfortable and out of the way. It has been a great creative process. I have picked a great young Italian architect who has worked with Norman Foster. She was great and young and it feels like we have had a real collaboration.
What is your favourite room?
My bedroom or my bathroom.
So do you have a bath you can swim in?
Not like that, but I have been spoilt. If you walk in to the bathroom of this hotel that we are in right now you get ideas and think: I wonder if I could create some of that in my house? There is something great about building a home. I was trying to buy somewhere in London and I could not afford it. Forget about it, it is not the actors making the money it is the boys in the city.
I think they would go back together because she probably got angry that everybody talked about the arrival photos.
I am quite sure she reads the comments on the sites and wants to make it all lovely and ‘natural’. Or maybe there will be photos from LAX airport only. There are lots of paparazzi everyday. I am sure we’ll get photos soon. Either of both of them or only one.
totally agree, although he does look hot for a man with no balls.
What do you bet he has a flat in London to take his one night stands or casual flings back to. I am sure he doesn’t want them knowing exactly where he lives. They may end up with their faces pressed up against the fence after he is done with them.
It’s up for grabs but there are different theories about when the pr game started.
If you think it was all pr I agree with you that it doesn’t make sense since the whole Jay-cheating thing was a drama and did not help anyones reputation.
If you think that they had a real thing-or at least an on again off again thing but they broke up right before the oscars it might work.
I realize others have differnt povs but I think they did indeed split after NY and his behavior right after that supports that.
I do think she was behind the stink article and was very upset. I think she freaked out on him and there might have been some truth to what those “insiders” said that she had been counting on him to help her for a while longer to get some things nailed down.
Then from that very odd day at the Ducati shop its been nothing but a showmance. That leads me to think that the pr aspect only came into play after a break -up and he agreed to carry it on for a while to help her out.
People also have different povs as to if it was just out of compassion or if she has something on him. I’m not sure how I feel about that but I wouldn’t rule it out if she did the stink article as well.
So if that theory is correct than it is possible that this could end soon but we will see.
And I do agree that Orlando probably wants it too.
If it comes to him and London. I think London is a place where good actors live. The ones who don’t need much attantion because their work is enough. Kevin Spacey - plays in movies but also in a theatre in London and nobody denies he’s an artist.
There are paparazzi in London, sure but people in London are more interested in what can they see on stage/in the cinema than celebs themselves.
Living in London is not living on the spotlight and I believe that;s what Orlando is looking for.
I think you’re spot on with those thoughts.
Sadly, I think Bloom is proving to value tabloid celebrity only, and plays all the games he can to maintain it. Hollywood’s the best place to hype the illusion of talent and status, I guess London expects you to prove it.
Gah! Now I have to go and think about those ?s from above.
Thanks very much - I appreciate you posting it!
Do you know what mag. that is from?
@118 ‘Hollywood’s the best place to hype the illusion of talent and status, I guess London expects you to prove it.’ -
Perfectly said. Additionally, everyone does what they can do best..
I guess we may have some interesting plots going on!
