Orlando Bloom

The beautifully named Orlando Bloom is best known as Legolas Greenleaf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He is barely out of acting school, but has been included in the Young Hollywood Awards for "Exciting New Male Face" and was voted 19th in a magazine's list of Top 50 Sexiest British Actors. We'll see him next this summer in Lullaby of Clubland, but keep your eyes peeled. He is only on screen for 8 mintues. Next big gig--Ned Kelly alongside Heath Ledger.

FRAMEWORK
Orlando is 180 cm, brown-haired and brown-eyed. Like Sean Bean, his co-star in The Lord of the Rings, he has a tattoo of 'nine' on his forearm. He also has a tattoo of a sun on his torso.

EXERCISE
"I enjoy keeping fit and it comes easily to me because I'm into sports in a big way, especially surfing, snowboarding, skydiving, bunjee jumping and paragliding" he says. This is probably the reason why over the years he has broken his back, ribs, nose, both legs, an arm, wrist, finger, a toe and cracked his skull 3 times! "You could say that I'm accident prone." he smiles. For The Lord of the Rings he learned how to ride a horse bareback while shooting an arrow. He also learned to fight and wield 2 swords. "Letting go of the reins and shooting my bow and arrow was tricky stuff" he says. "You have to have real faith in your horse. I did fall off him once and broke a rib!"

DIET
"I am a vegetarian and stay clear of dairy products"
Orlando's favourite foods are pasta, pizza, oatmeal, rice and vegetables and baked potatoes. He also eats his nails. "Sadly, yes I do--ever since I gave up smoking. Now I'm trying to give up my nails"

LOVE LIFE
He dated actress Joanne Morley his Lullaby co-star, was briefly engaged to model Jemma Kidd, and is now said to be seeing actress Christina Ricci.
