Orlando Bloom Sympathy for Delicious Love + more Ned Kelly
There are new hot hot hot photos of Orlando Bloom at Gossip Girls, taken on the set of his new movie Sympathy for Delicious. The jury is still out on the wig, which hopefully shows up better on film, but there are plenty of fangirls squeeing everywhere over the hot rock star goodness of shirtless Orlando Bloom with tattoos, eyeliner, and that’s right, tight leather pants. I would have preferred a slinky, lithe androgynous rock star Orlando rather than grungy hardcore rocker Orlando, but hey, did I mention the tight leather pants? Sympathy for Delicious hits theaters and I’m there, no question.
While we wait for more delicious shirtless Orlando Bloom pics to surface, I thought we’d enjoy a bit more Orlando Bloom in Ned Kelly.
The Kelly Gang rides into town. Notice the sort of casual slouchiness of Joe Byrne (Bloom). I love that he’s riding a horse while wearing a suit.
The casual slouch even as he helps Kelly (Heath Ledger) hold up the bank manager.
I love this devilish glare, with the slightest hint of a smirk.
Here’s more of the scene with Rachel Griffiths as the bank manager’s wife. Joe tries to play harmless, but she knows he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
A man should always take out his gun before he sits down next to a lady…
The slightest hint of a sensual touch…
And she, er…gives in. I love that when Orlando Bloom kisses, he’s always got a hand up to grip the back of the woman’s head rather possessively. Very sexy. He’s got great hands.
Making out with yet another girl.
Notice the hand…again…
Worried by troubling news…
On horseback, with Ned Kelly. They’ve been betrayed.
It breaks Joe’s heart.
