Orlando Bloom is Sympathy Shirtless

He`s CUTE !!!

I agree, he’s ‘toned’ but not to the point that he looks unnatural. I honestly think he looks great just the way he is - slim yet filled out where he needs to be (i.e. shoulders, arms and back). I don’t think overworked ‘bulging’ muscles are all that attractive, never have. He looks sexy to me here.

Why do his fans have to turn everything into a fight? The years you’ve spent b!tching and bullying each other all in his name is mindboggling and now you’re p!ssing over his muscles? You all need therapy. Unbelievable.

I think that this person is just trying to stir up trouble. Or maybe they are too young to realize that you can disagree without “fighting”.

@Boys to men: some guys don’t have chest hair, back hair etc. they don’t wax etc they just never had any. Orlando is likely one of them

@Deja Vu2: get off the pants. he’s on set, in costume for a role. if they wanted him to wear a bra and a plaid mini skirt that’s what he would be wearing.

@all the folks noting that he was in a robe other days and not this time. had a chance to talk to the makeup artist I mentioned earlier and he said the change may be required. if it’s the same tat material as Viggo and Wentworth the stuff is sticky. think putting double sided tape on. if he had a shirt on it would mess up the tat.

Just so you know, 99% of the comments going, he’s a lousy actor, he’s getting old, he’s fat…

It’s just a sad kid called Gibson trying to stir the pot & trolling around the net, because he has no life and the whole world is out to get him. Too bad people keep feeding the troll. He has no life, no job, just a sugardaddy to enable his 24/7 internet frenzy. Boohoo Gib!

Que homem lindo…. santo Deus!

Esse foi abençoado.

Seriously.

Dont worry Orlando. Its almost March. The year is almost up.

I know I’m being obnoxious (again) by posting the same thought on more than one thread, but this online article about Eric Bana really is worth reading. I’m surprised that Orlando Bloom has not been able to emulate the likes of Bana, Mortensen and Depp in some areas of his life, especially in light of his past admirable mentions of them in his interviews. He’s had the best examples in the business to learn from, in so many ways. He should take notes from his “good buddy” Eric and do the same things – if he really values his privacy and wants substance in his life. IMO, of course. That’s just how I see things, personally. Bana has a great and level head on his shoulders. He was already married by the time he was 30 and had his priorities set straight. I love how he references his wife in the interview; he’s very happily married. I copied and pasted some key segments which seem timely right now regarding Bloom.

People don’t hassle him, he says; he’s part of the furniture. “At a shopping mall people might want to take photos,” says his wife, Rebecca Bana, “but it’s so rare. On a day-to-day basis, he just blends in.” He flies under the radar in the media too, rarely appearing in the social pages and avoiding interviews. “It’s about staying away from celebrity,” he says. “If you allow that world to consume you, it will kill you.”

Bana sometimes wonders how much further he could take his career if he lived in Los Angeles; if he didn’t have kids he’d probably be based there. That said, relatively few films are actually made in California - he’s made as many in Malta as he has in LA. “No matter how you do it, it is a pain in the ****, so just do the one that is the most practical. For us, it works and there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. I’d rather the hassle of the extra travel and be at home when I’m not working,” he says. “But the real reason I live here is because I was born here. This is where all my family and friends are. It’s my hometown. I think it’s as great, if not better than, any other city in the world.”

It delights him that when he runs into old school friends they’re not interested in what it’s like to make movies with Brad Pitt and “good buddy” Orlando Bloom. “It’s like, ‘You don’t still have that big white Falcon that you used to drive to school, do you?’”

Despite living in such different worlds - Bana defines them as the working actors’ world, the “normal” world, and the celebrity world - he insists he doesn’t feel torn between them. “Two of those are very real; the third one doesn’t consist of much and I have nothing to do with it. There is a whole celebrity industry that is complete bullshit and it’s not something I ever have to deal with.” He walks the red carpet just a couple of nights each year. “Unless you’re Paris Hilton, you’re a deer in the headlights. It is the weirdest part of the job but it’s necessary and I’ve got to the stage where I try to enjoy it as much as I can.”

Oh for heaven’s sake. You are comparing Orlando’s life to Eric Bana’s? That is just stupid.
How in the world are they similar? Did Eric shoot to worldwide stardom after his first movie? Was he the most googled person at the age of 25 (or any age, for that matter)? Was Eric working on huge movies non stop for 8-9 years? No? Then you can’t compare them. That is a ridiculous try at an insult.
If you are going to compare careers, try comparing him to Leo. You know, still single, model dating, shot to stardom at an early age Leo. Leo, who lives in LA because that is where deals are made, no matter where the movie is filmed. Leo who also had to drop out of sight to shed the teen-idol image. that is a more accurate comparison.
As for Johnnie? I’m afraid Johnnie would suffer from the comparison to Orlando at the same age. Orlando hasn’t been arrested for trashing a hotel room. He hasn’t been found in possesion of narcotics. He hasn’t been engaged to every starlet he dated. Etc. Etc. Even Johnnie himself, has said that he is NOT the right person to be giving out advice, yet you want Orlando to emulate him? Oh hell no! Johnnie at 45 is a lot different than Johnnie at 30.
Orlando is doing just fine. He has handled his stardom with grace. He isn’t a druggie, or a big partier. He hasn’t taken roles simply for the paycheck, and he is now in the process of re-defining his career. Sure, he dates beautiful women, but why not? He may not be ready to settle down for years. I say that he should have fun while he is young. He has plenty of time to settle down.
Comparing Orlando to men in their forties is ridiculous.

“Comparing Orlando to men in their forties is ridiculous.”

Comparing Orlando to anyone who can act is ridiculous. Lets not even go there.
Age however has nothing to do with the poor choices he has made in the past year. That excuse may have still worked if he was in his early 20’s, but he’s not. He’s 32 for crying out loud and that said I have tons of male friends who are ten years younger then him and already seem to condust themselves with more responsibility and integrity then him. Not to mention his trampy ho who is almost 26yrs old and still behaves like she’s in highschool. So please dont bring the age thing into it. Lacking years is -and never will be- an excuse for lacking intelligence.

@98
don’t know your friends so don’t know if they are as mature as you claim. at 10 years younger than bloom, sorry, i can’t see it especially if they count you as a friend. mature people no matter their age don’t waste time slagging other people. case in point dicaprio, depp, mortensen, bana trash other actors or their s.o.
