July 12, 2005 If you saw the great epic fantasy trilogy "The Lord of the Rings", you would remember him, Orlando Bloom, the handsome elf prince, slender, with elegant features and adequate fighting-skills to match. In the movie, he is only one among many green leaves that support the main character and decorate the story with life and humor. Yet many times he outshines the others, not just because his outstanding looks, but he portraits the elf prince with such dignity and grace that one might think he indeed is an immortal being who walks out of a fairy tale. His acting skills make the character believable and he fits into the part perfectly. (Thanks to the casting director, originally he screen tested for another part, but the director thought he would be more suitable to play the part of Legolas.) He was in his early twenties when he took upon the roll in that great production and the film made him a star overnight. Someone may say that he is just lucky, getting the part and gaining international notice at such young age. Yet if you carefully exam his acting improvement throughout the film you would understand that his success is not an accident, he works hard to get to the point of where he is now, and it involves great personal sacrifice and agony that one can hardly imagine. He is a young man with an unusual childhood and a big dream of becoming a Superman one-day. At a very tender age he already sets up his goal, to become a performer, bring laughter and beauty into people's lives. Yet his dream near shattered when he suffered a fall from a three-story building. The doctor told him that he may never walk again, but luck smiled on him, after several successful operations, he walked out of the hospital on his own. Life is like magic, you live and learn and be rewarded. Each time he suffered a personal setback, he would review what he had done, and try not to make the same mistake again. Compare to other stars of his age and level, he seems to be more
settled and thoughtful. There is a rare kind of purity in him, polite,
loving and gentle, and when he speaks nowadays, maturity shines through
him like a ray of light piercing through the gathering clouds. He is a
very low-key person, enjoys learning from others and tries to live an
honest life whenever possible and he treats people with respect and
care.
Despite his good looks, sexy is not the right word that best suits him,
at least in my opinion. For the talented young man is much more than
what
you see on the outside, his humanity, passion for nature, animals, and
love and care towards another human being make him real and admirable.
He
is like a neighborhood kid whom you can talk to, like a brother that
you
can trust and depend on. He is not an elf but a man who is true to
himself, and has much to offer to the world.
