Orlando Bloom Sympathy for Delicious, The Cross, Lord of the Rings
RUN, don’t walk, over to Gossip Girls for the latest Orlando Bloom rock star photos from his upcoming film, Sympathy for Delicious. If you thought the shirtless candids taken on his way to his trailer were hot, you’ll melt over the new on-set photos as he puts on a rock star performance for a bunch of screaming fangirls. There are even more screaming fangirls ’round the world now, after seeing these photos. It’s as if someone asked us to write down our fantasy Orlando Bloom accessory list: Long curly hair. Check. Eye makeup. Check. Sexy rocker tattoos. Check. Jewelry. Check. Tight pants. Check. Killer arms and abs. Check Check Check. Many many thanks to the filmmakers for seeing the rock star potential in Orlando Bloom and giving us girls some fantastic images to carry with us.
In continuing awesome news, Orlando Bloom has signed on for another picture, a sci-fi film entitled The Cross about a mysterious border town. Orlando plays a character trying to cross the border no one ever has, and the delicious Vincent Cassel (Eastern Promises) will be the guard trying to prevent him. Lovely Olga Kurylenko (Quantum of Solace) also stars. I’m sure we’ll get some more info on the plot as things progress. A sci-fi adventure starring Orlando and Vincent and Olga is enough draw for me at the moment.
So, that’s the “now” portion of this Orlando Bloom post. Now we’ll go for some “then” and give you a peek at Orlando Bloom in his first major role as Legolas in the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
I’ve always loved this shot of him in Fellowship of the Ring, in the snow…the calm and beautiful Elf, barely fazed by the weather…
Sensing danger…
Young Orli, behind the scenes on Fellowship of the Ring.
Behind the scenes in Rohan, Return of the King. Look at that sweet little face and cherubic lips.
A pretty boy and his pretty horse…
The boy is not afraid of horse germs, and the horse is not afraid of Elf boy cooties…
Gorgeous unfinished shots of what was supposed to be Legolas’ return home, but with time constraints on the film, it never made the final cut. Look at the exquisite hair and clothes…
And that razor sharp profile…
From willowy beautiful Leggy to buff hot sexy rock star. You’ve come a long way, baby, and we’re enjoying the ride.
