Being a gentleman is a worthy goal.

I wondered how they would top the Pirates and skeletons and moonlight, because that's a pretty cool concept.

I'm still at the beginning of my career. It's all a little new, and I'm still learning as I go
Orlando Bloom

A friend told me that teenage girls are always looking for someone to pin their dreams on. That doesn't make it any less weird though.

I crave working on those small independent movies because I love going to see those myself.

Vig used to call me 'Elf boy', and I'd call him 'filthy human'. As an Elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me, 'Oh, go manicure your nails.'

I'm so happy to have been a part of that process and I would go straight back into the desert in a ton of chain mail for Ridley any day of the week. He's an amazing director and I can't wait to see the long version.

My whole career has been fulfilling my childhood fantasies, playing characters that are larger than life, getting to play a knight, an elf, a prince, and a soldier.

When everyone around you is doing all this incredible pirate acting and you're having to sort of play the straight guy and move the story forward, you kind of want to be doing some of that pirate ripping it up stuff, but in truth, to be a part of that project is what I love.

Someone tried to save my soul in a gas station.

I love it. I hate that word (fatherhood), but I love being a father it's changed everything in so many ways.
Orlando Bloom
Image
The philosophy that I've embraced isn't about sitting under a tree and studying my navel.
Orlando Bloom
Image
Elves are like trees, grounded and focused from the trunk down but graceful and agile on top.
Orlando Bloom
Image
I had the training at drama school where I studied Shakespeare and Brecht and Chekov and all these period historical playwrights and I think that I responded to the material.

I cherished my time filming 'Lord of the Rings' in New Zealand - it's the most beautiful, magical place with great hospitality. I love places that are completely cut off from everything - where I can relax and enjoy the simplicity of nature.
Orlando Bloom
Image
I got to dress up in funny clothes and run around New Zealand with a bow and arrow for 18 months, how bad could that be?
Orlando Bloom
Image
I mean, I have a great job. I get to dress up and become somebody else, especially when it's someone like Legolas, who's this super-cool kind of otherworldly elf. It's, like, I'm lucky, man, so why would I not appreciate that?

I can be a little bit outrageous. I can be a lot of things. I'm a bit of an adrenaline junkie, so I love to go out there and do kind of crazy stuff which is slightly outrageous, like bungee jumping, skydiving, surfing and that sort of stuff. But I also like to just chill with my friends and go and see movies and do normal things.

I'm always amazed at anyone's interest in what I have to say.
