Ooooh Orlando!!
Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Bloom (what a long name!!) was born on January 13, 1977 in Canterbury, Kent. His mother, Soni Copeland was born in Calcutta, India. Bloom had thought that his father was South African-born Jewish lawyer Harr Saul Bloom, but during his younger years and after Harry’s death, Bloom’s mother revealed to him that his biological father was actually Coling Stone, a family friend. Bloom had one sister, Samantha Bloom.
Bloom began acting professionally with a television role in an episode of Casualty, and subsequently made his film Wilde opposite Stephen Fry, before entering the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London where he studied acting. He came to fame in the early 2000s, after playing Legolas in The Lord of the Rings films, and subsequently establised himself as a lead in Hollywood Films, including Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Troy, Elizabethtown, and Kingdom of Heaven. Bloom’s most recent releases are the sequel Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and Haven.
