E! Online – Features – Sizzlin’ Sixteen 2002 – Guys – Orlando Bloom

Fast Facts:

Birthdate January 13, 1977

Hometown: Canterbury, England

What You Don’t Know: While in New Zealand shooting Lord of the Rings, he became a real thrill seeker, once bungee jumping five times in a row.

Quote: “It’s all very surreal. I’ve had two really fantastic experiences [LOTR and Black Hawk Down] I feel really lucky–I’m sort of doubly excited.”

Being in a Hollywood blockbuster sounds like an absolute miracle for a virtually unknown young actor. Well, how does three or four blockbusters sound?

Welcome to the world of Orlando Bloom. The handsome, raven-haired, 23-year-old British actor has had the great good fortune of winning the role of Elfin archery ace Legolas in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. That’s three smash hits right there, even if only one of them has made it to theaters so far. (The Fellowship of the Ring, duh!) Talk about career insurance.

But every day is miraculous for Bloom, because just three years ago, he was in an accident that could have ended his career–and his life.

“I broke my back,” recalls Bloom. “I [fell] out of a window…some friends had a roof terrace on the landing below their apartment, and I fell off the drain pipe. It gave way, actually, and I fell three floors. I was told I might not walk again. So, for about four days, I was contemplating that as a serious part of reality. Then they operated, and I walked out of the hospital in about 12 days.”

The gift of the improbable just keeps on giving next year, in the second LOTR installment, The Two Towers. The December 2002 release reportedly features scads of full-tilt horseback riding for this William Tell of Middle Earth.

Bloom’s big break, medically speaking, also helped him land his second blockbuster-starring role of the 2001 holiday season–in Ridley Scott’s horrifyingly realistic Black Hawk Down.

“My character breaks his back, and I had mentioned I had done that when I was up for the part,” Bloom says. “Who knows why one actor gets a job and another doesn’t? I think it was just good timing that I happened to be there and I had had that experience–I mean, I was lucky.”

Yeah, Bloomin’ lucky.

I can’t believe I forgot to post that it was Corey’s birthday on friday. Also Jon W’s birthday. Nuts. I remembered them, even sent out cards, but forgot to post. Sigh.

Happy B-day!

Go Rams!! We’re going to the Superbowl!!!

::: The Amazing World of Colorgenics :::

You are a very sensitive person and you try hard – (perhaps a little too hard) – to make favourable impressions and to be recognised by your peers… But you have that inherent need to feel appreciated and admired. You are easily hurt if all of your endeavours go by unappreciated or not acknowledged. stop trying so hard

You enjoy taking part in anything that may constitute fun and excitement. You need to be stimulated and need to feel that “Life is worth living” and you are awaiting that stimulation and you don’t particularly care where it comes from .!

You are a perfectionist in everything that you put your hand to. You are demanding and very exacting in the standards you apply to your choice of colleagues and friends…perhaps you demand too much from people…That perfection you seek in a particular person is illusive…perhaps it does not even exist…

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You are trying to build up your own position and you resist all external influences. You insist that you are your own person and you will not tolerate any outside interference. Decisive and proud, you are true managerial material…

sigh. That’s weird. Pretty much me.

I may be going to england. . . if I get in to this grad program

sooo weird

now I am excited

it’s working with sprinter hurdlers

OMG OMG.

Oh my god. Do I really want to go to grad school? Can I deal with this? My mom really wants me to go. It’s probably a good idea.

Just saw Anne, a girl who used to go here and was a BMEer but transferred to Rochester and plays bball there. There’s a washu-rochester bball game tonight. . . I don’t know what to do, cause I want to cheer on Anne but I want my team to win and then the Bears will be in first place in the UAA. . .

AGGH! Grad school! Yuck! Sigh.

Movie & TV News @ IMDb.com Holidaying Bloom Misses Lord Of The Rings Success

Lord Of The Rings star Orlando Bloom has missed the massive success of the fantasy film – by relaxing in India. The British star hung out in Asia with pals over Christmas and the New Year and has yet to discover the full scale of the hype surrounding the movie. During his holiday, the film’s release has seen him become one of the most lusted over stars in the world, with websites devoted to him springing up all over the internet. Bloom, 25, says, “My agent says she’s wading through bags of fan mail in my absence. We’re trying to send pictures and other stuff about me to as many people as possible. The enormity of it is only just hitting me. I’ve spent the last few weeks in India, so to be honest, I’m only now realizing the craziness. After all they hype, I went to hang out for Christmas and New Year. In fact, a couple of the Hobbits came with us, and we relaxed. We just had a laugh.” Canterbury-born Orlando also stars in military drama Black Hawk Down and the combination of both movies has boosted his heart-throb status – much to his surprise. He says, “I find it amazing that people get so excited. I have no idea how my life is going to change though.”

Soo, no spikes and no LotR in the mail. Oh well. It was worth a shot. Must. . . not. .. stress. . . about. . . losing. . . spikes! My parents bought me new ones and paid for overnighting them. Sigh. Too bad I don’t like gold as much as silver. And why doesn’t anyone have my size? Grr.

Almost able to get a custom av on FF. Yay.
