For a couple of years now, mega-hottie Orlando Bloom has been pushing for the release of his indie movie Haven, a gritty tale of star-crossed lovers (Orlando and leading lady Zoe Saldana) , bankers, drug lords, money launderers and tourists in the Cayman islands. Well, the film is finally coming out this week and Orlando couldn't be happier. He co-produced the movie and was happy to carry equipment and pitch in with the crew to get it made.

In Beverly Hills, we met with the popular actor recently at the posh 4 Seasons hotel. We had been chatting with Zoe and were expecting Orlando but he hadn't shown yet. Suddenly, a shy knock on the door. We'd locked Orlando out! We let him in and got a friendly "How are you?" Picture the actor in gray graphic tee and gray pants. He's still got his "Pirates" goatee, long, tied back hair and that tiny gold earring. He was also wearing a Haven wristband with the national colors of the Cayman Islands.

We learned all about Haven, what it's like to have movie make-up scars on that beautiful face [for part of the film], Bloom's love scene with Zoe, his shy side, the fact that he's not engaged despite rumors and that he doesn't own a boat... although he'd love to. We also found out that he's got a plan to take control of his own supersized life. Stay tuned for all things Orlando...
