You have known him as the elf-prince Legolas in The Lord of the Rings and as blacksmith Will Turner in the Pirates of Carribbean trilogy of films. Since then, he has established himself as one of the most sought-after leading men in Hollywood today. A head turner and every girl's delight, the hot and sexy Orlando Bloom is surely too hot to handle.
Born in the United Kingdom, the 30-year-old Bloom shot to fame in 1999 when he was cast in his first major role, playing Legolas in The Lord of the Rings (2001-2003). The trilogy was an enormous success, transforming Bloom from an unknown actor into one of the world's hottest, sexiest and well-known celebrities.
Named as one of Teen People's "25 Hottest Stars Under 25" in 2002 and People's hottest Hollywood bachelor in 2004, the actor also starred in the 2003 summer hit, Pirates of Carribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, opposite Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley. He next appeared in another blockbuster film Troy, with Brad Pitt, and in films such as Kingdom of Heaven and Elizabethtown, in which he played the lead roles.
As of May 2007, Bloom's box office appeal was as impressive as ever. His films had grossed a combined $2.4 billion at the United States alone. He also appeared in four of the top 15 highest grossing films of all time.
What others don't know about Bloom is that this hot and sexy actor is also an environmentalist. As part of his advocacy, he has renovated his London home so that it would be capable of using solar panels. He is also incorporating recycled materials and utilizing energy efficient light bulbs.
