My favourite film star
by Rachel

My favourite film star is Orlando Bloom. He has appeared in lots of really good films, such as Troy, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Lord of the Rings.

He was born in England in 1977. His mother was an English teacher and his father was a South African lawyer.

At school Orlando loved drama and appeared in lots of school plays. He was also interested in art and photography. When he was eighteen he went to drama school. In 1998, he had a terrible accident when he fell from a window and broke his back. The doctors thought he would never walk again, but he has recovered completely. In his short life he has also broken his nose, an arm and both legs!

In 1999, he got his first big film role – as Legolas in Lord of the Rings. While they were filming in New Zealand, he went out with Jemma Kidd (sister of supermodel, Jodie), but they’ve split up since then. He’s lived in Los Angeles since 2001.

He’s been in lots of great films and I’m sure he’ll star in lots more!
