Orlando Bloom: The Biography

The Lord of the Rings. Pirates of the Carribean. Troy. These movies have two things in common. They are the biggest smash hits in recent cinema history; and they feature one of the most charismatic young actors of this, or any other, generation. Devastatingly good looking, and one of the most convincing leading men the silver screen has witnessed for a very long time. As Legolas the elf in The Lord of the Rings trilogy - the most successful movie enterprise of all time - he set hearts punding. In Pirates of the Carribean he created the surprise hit of the summer. And in Troy his reputation as Hollywood's leading heart-throb is consolidated. Orlando Bloom: The Biography is a fabulously illustrated, intimate yet affectionate biography of a man to whom fame has come quickly, but who has remained endearingly unaffected by the whirl of publicity that has surrounded him.
