Discovering the USA with Orlando Bloom
Oct 11, 2005 - Lynn Barker
When we last chatted with mega-hot Orlando Bloom we were on the phone and he told us about putting a leaf down Elizabethtown co-star Kirsten Dunst's shirt so she'd think it was a bug. His dog Sidi could be heard sniffing in the background. We got the pleasure of chatting again with Orlando in person recently in L.A. while he was on a break from his "Pirates" films.

With long hair and "Pirates" goatee, the mega-star looked dashing in dark brown shirt with rolled-up sleeves and casual pants held up by a fancy inlaid belt buckle. Newsflash! Orlando wears boxers! No, wait... hold up..we only know because of the low slung trousers and the fact that the actor likes to lean back in his chair relaxing with arms up behind his head..thus the preview of the top of the boxers.
Getting serious now, the romantic comedy Elizabethtown is warm and funny but also deals with the serious issue of a death in the family. Orlando told us about his own sad family experience, all about the enlightening and funny road trip he and Sidi took across America back to L.A. after he wrapped the movie and learning to speak with an American accent. We always enjoy the fact that the self-deprecating actor constantly admits that he's still got a lot to learn and is happy to be in learning mode. Climb into the Orlandomobile and we're off.....
