All about Orlando!

Biography

     This is the page that tells all about Orlando; anywhere from his childhood, to his career, to his love life. (That's something that we all want to know about.)

In the beginning...
    Orlando was born on January 13, 1977 in Canterbury, Kent, England. He was born to Sonia and Harry Bloom and has one sister, Samantha. Other sources name Orlando's mother as Shelia.  It is rumored that Colin Stone was revealed to be Orli's biological father instead of Harry.  Colin is Orli's guardian.  He showed his talents at an early age when his mother entered him into Bible-reading and poetry-reciting contests.

His academic career.
     Orlando left high school in 1993 at age 16. As a young child, Orlando was diagnosed with dyslexia. After that he moved to London to act with the National Youth Theatre. After 2 years he was awarded a scholarship to the British American Drama Academy where he was noticed by an agent after appearing in a school play. This landed him a role in Wilde. After starring in Wilde, he went on to enroll in London's prestigious Guildhall School of Music and Drama where he appeared in several plays. He graduated in the fall of 1999 and has since had an astonishing movie career.

His early film career.
     While in school, Orlando acted in many school plays. After he was noticed by an agent, he landed his first film role in Wilde. After seeing this, many advertising firms and film casters flooded him with an enormous amount of offers. He turned them down to continue schooling. Since he has appeared in the Lord of the Rings, Black Hawk Down, Pirates of the Carribean, Ned Kelly, and a few more low-budget films.





The beginning of the Fellowship.
     Just days before graduating from Guildhall, he received a call from Peter Jackson in which he was deemed to play the Elven prince Legolas. He is totally my favorite character in the movie! Anyway. With this he rushed off to begin the 15 month filming process. He trained very extensively in archery, horseback riding, and swordplay. He also studied the posture that he thought Legolas would have; and with this we have one of the greatest movies of all time.

What's next?
    Orlando will be in the upcoming film The Calcium Kid which is about a young milkman who is also a boxer. Also on his list is Ned Kelly where he grows a scraggly beard that I prefer be shaved. As expected, The Return of the King will come out this year as well as all of the above. Troy will come out in 2004 and  is a historical film based on The Illiad. Also in the film will be Brad Pitt. I don't know about you but I am so looking forward to that one.

His love life.

     Orlando and Kate Bosworth are happily in love. A million of us wished that was us. I know, believe me.  The two have been spotted everywhere together.  He even flew her down to be with him on the set of Troy. How romantic.
