Orlando Bloom Wigs Out
Orlando Bloom shows off his shaggy new do in a grungy wig on the set of his new movie, Sympathy for Delicious, in Los Angeles on Wednesday (January 28).
The 32-year-old British actor also sported tattoos, black fingernail polish and suspenders.
The plot follows the life of a paralyzed DJ (Christopher Thorton) who realizes he cures the sick, but can’t help himself from pursuing his rock ‘n’ roll dreams. Bloom is taking over for James Franco, who was originally cast as the lead. Laura Linney will play the band’s manager. Christopher Thornton, who wrote the film, will star as the DJ and Mark Ruffalo will portray a priest.

First. He is a worst actor then Ben Affeck and not very manly.
I cant wait to see this movie!!! It has an awesome cast and Mark Rufalo is going to be directing it!!!!!
”who realizes he cure the sick” sounds so ghetto… oh and btw in the uk- suspenders are something completely different…
JARED, Orlando does NOT play the paraplegic; Christopher Thornton, who is paralyzed in ‘real life’ does. He also wrote the script. Orlando is a rock singer who befriends him.
in agreement with Gunn Fan:
yea seriously jared thats the second time, dude. lool
He looks gross. This is a bad move for him, the only thing he has going for him are his looks. His bad acting is going to stick out even worse with nothing pretty to look at.
James Franco would have made this role so much better! It sounds weird when you hear Orlando doing it, but if it was James I would be like this guy is so cool! :)
*sigh* One of these days Jared will learn to read and comprehend the text in front of him. No one outside this blog said he will play the DJ. Correct the mistakes already!
I think that he makes grunge look good!
I can’t wait to see this movie.
I also can’t wait to see Orlando shut the nay-sayers up. As far as I am concerned, if you haven’t seen him in Haven or Ned Kelly, you have no right to comment on his acting.
I think that he will blow his critics out of the water.
It’s quite possible that he does better, acting wise, when he’s not under the same pressures that big budget block busters and big name celebrity actors presence put him under. Smaller films may be better for him until his acting skills advance.
is he still a celebrity?
I completely agree with you. Most of the people commenting saying that his acting is ****, probably never have seen Ned Kelly and Haven. They should stick to their blockbusters. Its ridiculous how some people still think that just because its an indie movie that its automatically going to be low profile, and therefore if he’s doing one he MUST be low profile as well. People like that are retards.
this is just one of those overrated hollywood actors who can’t really act right? :)
James Franco should of totally done this movie!!!! I love james!
true james franco would of made that rocker style look cool and very sexy!!
Please make james take this role back.. i wanna see more james
They’re extensions, not a wig.
I’m in agreement ….. not because I am a fan …… because I’m not. I’m a writer …… and writers will most always make the best casting directors for a film or tv show …… if a writer is true to their story and their characters they will cast the character ….. Not Actors!
Orlando may have his chance to shine yet ….. If he fits the character ….. a lot of his directors have said ….. He is the “character”
Directors and writers want an actor who can relate well with a character ….. so well in fact ….. that most audiences will not be able to see the actor …. only the character they are playing ……
All the fan girls see Will Turner or Legolas or Bailan or Paris or Drew or even Joe Byrne ( Ned Kelly ) or Shy ( Haven ) , etc….
When I watched him in Ned Kelly and Haven I only saw the characters not him …. the other ones Orlando stood out too much ….. I had a difficult time seeing the character he was playing.
I’m not saying he’s not a great actor ….. Ned Kelly was his best so far in my opinion …. He does have the talent and it seems the desire to do the best job he can.
I think he will do a magnificent job on this one. And something tells me that the story is one I cannot wait to see come to life.
I can’t wait until the release date.
Whats up with all these disgrunteld James Franco fans posting? And James Franco has fans? Get over it!
HE LOOKS LIKE A DOUCHE AND THE MOVIE SOUNDS GAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go back to the UK you freak!
A movie about a paralyzed DJ, a rock band and a priest sounds gay?
My guess is that you are about 12-13? Go home to mama little boy.
James has twenty three fans. And they are taking turns posting the same BS over and over.
@20
With James out of the movie, it actually becomes LESS gay, if the rumors are true.
I actually like James. But if I had to chose between James, and Orlando as he looks in the role. Orlando wins, hands down.
Get your facts straight, Jared. Enough people told you on the other post that Orlando isn’t playing the DJ. It’s great that he’s finally working though.
He looks like a hobbit. How appropriate.
whats with the james hate?? and james is a way better actor than orlando will ever be
