Here's Orlando article in the May 2002 issue of Seventeen (Philippines edition). He came up top in the 17 Boys of Summer poll conducted by the magazine.
Orlando Bloom
This 5'11" hottie upped the swoon factor of Lord of the Rings as Legolas Greenleaf. Of his role, he says: "Legolas' moves are smooth and elegant, like a cat... There's strength in that, but it's very balletic. It's also bloody hard to do without falling over!"
Up next: He co-stars with Heath Ledger as bank robber in The Kelly Gang. Bloom, 25, is also the lead in The Calcium Kid, about a British milkman who becomes a boxing sensation.
Hotlist: Superman (Christoher Reeve made him want to act); his Elvish tattoo of the number 9 (his co-actors in LOTR: Fellowship of the Rings all have one); and snagging his Black Hawk Down role because he's accident prone. ("I've broken my back, my ribs, my nose, both my legs, my arm, my wrist, a finger and a toe and cracked my skull three times.")
