Orlando Bloom Wigs Out

A supposed to be big hollywood actor is degraded to a supporting role.. i guess that ’s what happen if you’re stupid enough to take the breaks for granted and bad karma for being a player.. lol

Orlando might have learned his lesson..

# 10 here. Big name actors can and do take supporting roles. Some actors are better suited to supporting roles than others. I personally think OB was hyped too much and over exposed for a while. That can work against an actor. I also don’t think leading roles are right for him, for a variety of reasons that I won’t go into. What Orlando’s fans think compared to what the general movie going public thinks are often two different things. The general movie going public is made up of many groups of people, and not all of them see Bloom the way his fans do.

I don’t know if Bloom took his acting luck and good fortune and breaks for granted. He may have, considering so much was offered and given to him so early on in his career, and considering LOTR undoubtedly opened many acting opportunities and doors for him. If you don’t have to struggle to make it, as many actors do - often for quite a few years - before hitting the big time, it’s possible to take for granted one’s good fortune and to think the party’s going to last indefinitely. Two years without much acting work will hopefully have humbled him and given him some time to think and take some things more to heart.

He seems to have acquired a player rep. I don’t know if that is by choice and design or due to his actual behavior. It could be part of his image as it seems to fly in the face of the loving boyfriend image he had with Kate. It could be the rep he wants right now. Some men are major flirts but don’t do much more than flirt. They like to have their egos stroked. Some men are the shy quiet types, and you know what they say about those. If Orlando flits around with women left and right, then he’s not serious about genuine relationships with women, but is quite satisfied with casual superficial ones, which is fine by me. Not my problem. I’m not putting it down as a choice. But it contradicts much of what he said in the past about how he sees and treats women. The more he contradicts his past image, statements and behavior patterns, the more he stands to lose remaining credibility with his remaining fans. He’s already lost quite a few over the years. And I don’t think it’s a healthy or wise attitude for his remaining fans or his professional people to assume “good riddance to the lot of them” as a fan base is a market base and a kind of customer base. After all, what are singers and actors without the fans? It’s a two way street.

A celebrity with all the hype, yes he is. An actor?Hmmmm

Let’s just wish him well for his supposed to be comeback movie LOL

An almost has been actor who’s trying to be like leo by partying too hard and dating models but doesn’t have the strong acting credibility other than a pretty face or some luck maybe.. But surely, those two can’t make a lasting career for an actor. Way to go orlando.. date some more hot models!

He doesn’t have to have a comeback. He never left.

IMDB has his character listed first. It’s more than a supporting role, it’s a lead or co-lead.

I agree with some of the others, watch Ned Kelly or Haven and then comment on his acting ability. He is also far from being a heavy partier or a womanizer. Do you believe every rumor you read?

And those saying his career faded and this is his comeback? Don’t you realise he hasn’t been doing roles lately because he hasn’t wanted to? He’s been taking it easy, doing charity work and a play. It’s not like he can’t get roles.

@38 - apparently your ability to read and comprehend posts on delphi is is as poor as your ability to string a coherent sentence together. No one on there is ‘freaking out’ because Orlando is working, we’re actually happy about it, and no one has even mentioned James Franco because he’s not involved in the movie.

@37 - IMDb lists the cast by popularity until the official casting order comes out.

Finally. Bloom is going to try to do some decent acting again in the movie, not in the hair product commercial. He is not in the main role, it is proofed that he can not carry the whole movie himself. But he can do it correctly when it comes to the smaller roles, and when the leading actor is strong and powerful enough . Viggo and Johnny did it in the super popular trilogies LOTR and POTC. I personally did not like Blooms movies after that. He was , how to say it, “weak”. His acting convinced me in nothing. I am really waiting for this movie. He is no more angelic handsome like he was before. He is older. He must play now, he can not count only on his good looking . And somebody here said that he “can learn form good actors he is playing with”. To late, people. He is 32, if he does not know how to act till this age, he will never learn.

I forgot to mention how excited I am about this new role for Orlando. It will give him a chance to push some boundaries, and surprise a lot of people.
He’ll have my 12 bucks when this one comes out.

@44 - I’m curious as to which posters you mean, because I haven’t really seen much in the way of some who aren’t happy no matter what he does.

thank you.

your compliment made me smile this morning. I needed that today. Rough morning so far. Wanted you to know your kind words are very much appreciated.

take care,
