"They're taking the hobbits to Isengard"
It is absolutely criminal that they didn’t have him say that
Hmmm is that from Kingdom of Heaven??
I was looking for this!
@@jwilliams3170 yeah its not like that line would have made it painstakingly obvious
@@jwilliams3170yes!!😂
This man was Legolas in Lord Of The Rings Trilogy and Will Turner in Pirates Of The Carribbean Trilogy. These two alone made him a legend at this point 🙌
His 1st wife makes it the greatest trilogy of all time.
Do you ever worry your standards are rather low?
@@OrganicActing I agree that the word "Legend" and stuff like that is overused, but in this case I feel like it is justified. LotR is arguably the best trilogy of all time and the first three Pirates of the Carribbean are fantastic as well
Don't forget his role in Carnival Row too
@@OrganicActingDo you ever worry that everybody has different tastes and you're not superior,hater?
You can tell playing Legolas was and still is something incredibly special to him. Its so refreshing to see him and all the rest of the cast continue to love these movies instead of rolling their eyes constantly
The speed and depth of detail of the answer spoke volumes! You see similar in all the cast when they speak of it! What a truly special moment in time that trilogy is!
Because it's an epic movie series that people respect and love. That's why the actors are proud of it.
I worked with him on rings.
He was a spoiled entitled fop who caused serious problems on set.
He once stole a quad bike and went off into the hills in the south island in the middle of a shoot day, if he had injured himself the entire production would’ve ground to a halt.
He’s a fool.
He was basically a nobody before LotR. He said he was only paid $50k for each movie, that's how small an actor he was back then but it catapulted him into the A list.
Lord of the Rings was his very first big movie and he wasn’t very popular before that, so I think he remembers it very well because it was his like first ever big role
Love seeing him instantly turn into Legolas with the exact accent
He came right from drama school and into this huge production of LOTR. Such a long time of filming for the first time and he did a tremendous job. All my respect!
Luck pretty much commands it all. Very little else factors into such things.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat Well he must have done good work at the audition.
And imagine, he'd fallen out of a hotel room and broken his back and they didn't think he'd walk again, then he got lord of the rings and did most of his stunts. Crazy.
No, he didn’t.
He didn’t take it seriously, he caused problems on set and he once almost caused the production to shut down.
He was a spoiled entitled fool.
He only got the role because he was wooden and couldn’t act any real emotion - perfect for an elf.
@@eoinc9511 Never read any if this. If he was such s brat why is he still friends with all the hobbits and show up with them on panels? And PJ wanted him back for the Hobbit movies. If he was a pain on set they could recast him.
He first auditioned for Faramir but they thought he would be a great Legolas instead.
You can really tell Lord of the Rings had a major impact on his memories. While I am sure the other movies had an impact on his life, Lord of the rings really did have all those good vibes you want to remember rather than forget.
Hearing from everyone who worked on those films, I've barely heard a bad word about the experience. Grueling, physically taxing, mentally challenging, but all in all a very good time in their lives, with wonderful memories! For Bloom especially, it was very much like going away to college. That age, 18, 19, 20, 21, those pivotal years in a young person's life. Many actors at that age are not going to a regular college experience; they kind of miss out on that type of thing at that age. Going from gig to gig, as actors often do. Having that solid stable work for several years in a row, working with the same people- all of whom got along very well with each other. Must have been a magical time!
yeh that was his first big film for sure as well. when we 14 year old girls discovered him in his beautiful blonde wig being the most competent person in the Fellowship and had a big 🥺🥺🥺 moment
Speaks for itself, he had no problem placing those quotes
@@TSIRKLAND ''many young actors miss out on a regular college experience'' - except he didn't, he graduated from a drama school, so for him it was more like starting adult life AFTER college...
@@K.C-2049 Speak for yourself. Not all 14-yeard-old girls watched this epic trilogy just to crush on someone...🙄
"What about side by side with a friend!"
Holy god I got instant goosebumps!
Yes but the line is from the two towers, not from return of the King.
@@steverampe1453Nope, it's in The Return of the King and not The Two Towers. Happens right outside the Black Gate
@@steverampe1453No, Return of the King
@@steverampe1453 No cause Two Towers the battle was a night in the rain. This scene is shown in daylight so it's Return of the King.
@@steverampe1453 I've watched the extended versions of all 3 movies over 1000 times.
Much respect to Mr. Bloom who hated playing Paris, but gutted it out anyway because he's a real (bleeping) professional.
I mean Paris is supposed to be unlikable character in a way. He's arrogant and self-centered but in the end he's a naive kid and stuff happens mostly because people take advantage of the situation he created so... love him or hate him, I guess.
@@immortaljanus I feel the movie really misses out a key point from the Illiad that makes Paris and Helen more sympathetic.
Both of them are explicit pawns of Aphrodite who makes the fall in love. Hera and Athena are also brewing that war for their enmity towards Aphrodite and Paris choice in their beauty contest. So much of Greek tragedy was rooted in unavoidable destiny.
What's interesting is how non-judgmental Homer is towards the pair. Helen is written singing a lement to her choice before the duel. And Paris' father comforts her in both the poem and the movie. I'm glad that translated, at least. And Agamemnon's ambition is a stand-in for the divine puppeteering happening behind the war.
@@samvimes2061my god yes, that would have made this movie so much better.
@@samvimes2061 it would have to be 4 hours long to bring in the gods and their machinations
He really remembers every bit from LoTR
Don't we all
And completely blanked out Troy
Didn’t say much.
It was his first movie as a professional, also the constant ribbing from the lotr cast must really reinforce his memory of it.
For him to sort out which LOTR movie the line came from is impressive, since they were all filmed at the same time.
I just got to meet this wonderful man at comic con last weekend. The poor guy was so jetlagged but he pushed through and still smiled and greeted everyone. He apologised to me for being so tired. I just wanted to fetch him a pillow and let him nap lol You're a brilliant actor and a lovely man Orlando
Yes, he always seems like a wonderfully kind person!
Orlando looking a lot like the late great Chester Bennington
Wow..... I didn't see that until now.... 😢
Yeah he is!
I was thinking the same thing!
Looking for this comment
Always!
Fine I’ll watch LOTR and POTC again 😒
You can add kingdom of heaven and Carneval Row to your list. But skip elizabethtown:)
Is it already that time of the year?
It is, I just finished lotr like a week ago and im at dead mans chest right now.
@@therealKraktime flies when you’re busy watching the LOTR trilogy
F*ck you guys, here goes my free time for the next two weeks
I had the biggest crush on Orlando as Legolas, but he seems like such a great guy. It's amazing the work that he did when he was younger, he really put everything he had in each role. Such a talented man!
Me too! My family teased me about it for years. My brother even bought me a Legolas action figure, and I still have it. 😂
@cinderbelle22 SAAAAME! My Aunt bought me a Legolas poster (that I still have) and I was blushing so hard and they all laughed at me. But it's one of my favorite gifts ever! I'm not the only one, but cousin likes him too!
I had no idea he is such a happy, jovial guy. So forthcoming in his honest answers, great interview!
It’s honestly so great that people like Orlando, Elijah, Sean, Dom, etc are ALL so nice and genuine. It makes loving these movies THAT much better. They’re all people who are still friends, rejoice in what they did and are just through and through good people.
The Pirates trilogy (yes trilogy we don’t talk about 4 and 5…) have always been my favourite movies ever. My best friend Regina and I became best friends because of Captain Jack and Will Turner. ❤ She passed away two years ago so it’s a bittersweet feeling now about the movies and how much I love them and her.
While I like 2 best, 4 and 5 is a mid favorite for me cause idea of finding fountain of youth, angelica impersonating Jack Sparrow, Barbossa has a daughter, reference of witch trials, fighting mermaids/zombies/ghosts are interesting
What's more: The night before I watched Pirates 5 for first time, I dreamt that Barbossa died from people shooting him, Jack sparrow, and Gibbs☹️ My dream spoil the movie
sorry to hear that man... I know it dont mean much coming from a stranger online😅 Hope you have someone to talk to about it.
Love how honest he is
Orlando was such a huge star in the 2000s, I remember girls had posters of him in their bedrooms , crazy how we faded away but when you Pirates and LOTR money who could blame him
LOTR was also his first movie out of drama school then he went to super famous super fast it was probably overwhelming and felt good to do smaller projects for a while
I feel like he and Josh Hartnett had a similar arc. got totally burned out on the heart throb thing but made millions off it, pursued their freedom to do much smaller roles through the rest of their career.
Orlando only got paid 145k for all 3 Lotr movies which is insane but at the end of the day it was worth it as they ate the greatest movies ever
I have printed posters of Legolas just after The Fellowship of the Ring came out as i fell in love with him (he even enter3d my dreams with his bow and arrows haha)! I was 16 yrs old. I still have them in my room more than 20 years later ( and 3 houses lived later). I invited my 14yo daughter to watch it the trilogy with me now (2024) and she was hooked! She loves Legolas too that she asked me to draw him to which i answered, il pass onto you my framed posters of Legolas, they are all yours! Watching the movie again after 2 decades and still able to simultaneously say some lines in the movie amazed my daughter and me! It was nostalgic, my heart swelled on the memory of how much i loved LOTR, so much so that back in 2002, i started a website dedicated to LOTR photos, just pages and pages of photos (especially of course of Legolas).
Now in 2024, at age 40, my youtube recommendations are still filled with LOTR, its characters, genealogy (yes, haha) and anything abt the elves). For me, nothing will beat LOTR, the greatest trilogy ever!
I guess he had a similar problem to Mark Hamill after Star Wars. Too big and too recognisable for more leading roles.
I clicked on this and I immediately thought He looked just like Chester from Linkin Park in this video. It almost brought me to tears, I loved Chester so much, he was such a core part of my life growing up ❤
I was actually thinking the same!
I thought about it too since long ago
When I was a teenager I wanted to be Legolas and my hero was Chester cause he worded the depression I still have today. It's so weird to see them look alike so much now, I hope he will be here for many more year
Was looking for this kinda comment :)))❤
Anyone else here just to hear him talk about Lord of the Rings? :)
I’m here for POTC🎉😂

Oh god. The lotr CZcams loop gets me every other year. Listening to the lore over and over again, even when I read all the books and know 90% of the trivia.
Still think that Kingdom of heaven is still one of his best
That's such a great film. 💖
True of the director's cut, not the theatrical release.
It’s one of my favorite films of all time.
Great soundtrack as well.
@@goyasolidar Yes, a complete different movie, much better
Coincidentally just finished At World's End tonight, the trilogy definitely holds up like LOTR. Davy Jones is without a doubt one of the best motion capture characters ever.
YES! Pirates 3 is soooooooo good. It bothers me when people say it’s the worst one of the main three. I’m like-IT IS THE BEST ONE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! 😂 I saw the midnight showing of it with my best friend and her twin sister, we even dressed up! It was the best
@@PrincessMeggala0913it is DEF not the worst, at worlds end is my favorite out of the three!!
I know everything is overshadowed by LOTR and POTC but Troy and Kingdom of Heaven are SUCH good movies! The cast of each of them is incredible in itself! Shoutout to Elizabethtown I freaking love that movie! I actually spoke to someone recently who loves it and i so rarely find people who have seen it! I was hoping when he said he'd blanked out a movie in the opening montage it was going to be The Calcium Kid 😂😂 we won't mention that one eh babes 😂. I was so happy when he came back for The Hobbit. I still need to watch the 5th Pirates some time. Aww. He's such a sweet dude I wish nothing but goodness for him. Always lovely to see him.
I watch Elizabethtown every year, one of my favorites 🥹
What about Elizabethtown?
Are you kidding? Calcium Kid is definitely an A tier movie. Better than Rocky.
i came to the comments hoping to find somebody else who has seen elizabethtown
Ive seen Elizabethtown its a good movie
The fact that my childhood was basically watching LOTR and Pirates interchangeably and I didn't realise he was both Legolas and Will until years after when my mum mentioned it spontaneously like I knew and I just shouted NO
Same
Just wrapped up LOTR with my 8 year old yesterday - they hold up perfectly and such a legacy
Orlando Bloom should do a film on the late Chester Bennington of Linkin Park. It would be awesome
Great call!
Yeah he almost look like him
Was thinking the same and i've found your comment... Agree a 100% !
he looks exactly like chester bennington now
Christ this man looks GREAT for his age. When I was a teenager, I had a poster of him as a young man in a place of pride on my door to go with some of my LOTR posters. Not ashamed to admit it, I had such a crush, and I think I still do! Rooting for him and I wish him nothing but the best!
Oof me too I had so many posters of him until my mom start getting all judgmental about it, so I was forced to put all the other lotr actors/actresses all over my walls lmao 🙄
Kingdom of Heaven just got so overlooked in its time. It’s such a great movie.
It’s one of my fav movies ever
It’s totally great. Such a work of art
The Extended cut makes it better imo
@@JRod1973uh yeah. Without the extended cut, there are HUGE plot points just completely missing from the film. So weird to put so many key points to the story exclusively in the directors cut
As a huge LOTR fan, I have gained more respect and admiration to Orlando bc I now understand how serious he took playing Legolas as well as the impact it has had on him.
“I had the sense of like, you know, wanting a deep desire to land the character correctly”. That’s what every fan wants. Really trying to dig in, and do it passionately.
I met him when he was in a play, In Celebration in London, having a huge crush on him at the time (and still now!), he was so lovely and happy to sign the hundreds of autographs outside the theatre.
An elf , a pirate, a prince , a knight etc.
Bummer that’s how he feels about Troy but the honesty is refreshing.
But still, Troy was a great film & he did such a great job at playing the pissy kid that it just makes the part
Not surprised. From a career perspective, the role of Paris felt like a bad move.
@@janerubybell why?
@@hiiamhi.23just a really unlikeable character but not in even a good way like joffery from GoT for example, just genuinely unlikeable
@@D.Records
That’s the point dude
@@johnhenry4844 Not the point at all. Bloom had just completed the LOTR trilogy and Curse of the Black Peral....and then does the role of Paris. So yeah, no sh*t he didn't want to play this wimpy character that no one gave a crap about in the film.
"Do you love me brother? Will you protect me from any enemy?" Legolas said to Aragorn.
Ok that's canon now.
Would have loved to have seen, “Did I miss 60B?” 🤣
Elizabethtown. One of my all-time favorites!
I was going to comment "Failure is simply the non-presence of success. But a fiasco is a disaster of mythic proportions," but you're right.
I really liked his honesty at the end of the video when he spoke of being young and present - It felt real genuine to me.
One of my favorite actors ever. Legolas and Will Turner were such great and memorable characters!
Actually Carnival Row was quite fun! Wonder why they didn’t include it
I can almost recite Troy I've seen it so many times. Love that movie.
One of my favourite war movies
"Immortality! Take it... It's yours!!"
I love how he is appreciating everyone’s else work. ❤
I had such a huge crush on Orlando! I remember I had a big poster of him on a bike during filming of POTC!
I was here to hear " they taking the hobbits to isengard gard gard gard gard..."
We need more movies from Orlando Bloom! 😢
Soo cool to see Bloom talking about my favorite Film "Kingdome of haven"
They could have chose the quote " No cause is lost if there's but one fool left to fight for it" for him to guess.
💔
Agreed. One of the best underrated lines from potc3.
That 1st movie is so quotable
I love that line too! I wish they'd picked "The son was still shining when your wife left you" for Troy.
Memory about Orlando Bloom, I sat at DMV in West Hollywood doing my driving test, its a really small room and they gave us chairs along the corridor, and I literally doing my text on my lap and then someone just passed me by and stepped on my foot. And I just heard: "oh I am sorry", i was like ok, it happens. I looked up and it was Orlando Bloom. 10 minutes later he walked back and again stepped on my foot and again "Oh, I am sorry". Later officer told us that its very popular location for celebrities to do their DL. Later that year I saw Iron Man there)))
I was obsessed with Orlando Bloom when I was 12 or 13 haha Had Legolas merch all over my room and also loved him in POTC. I also knew that line was from Troy hahaha
Missing the Three Musketeers
ATHOS!!!
@@DantheBigMan77Matthew Macfadyen played athos
@@ginapetolicchio2684 I know, but Orlando yelled that name in the movie
I think a friend of mine commented it's Paris's face that would launch a thousand ship instead of Helen's in the Troy movie.
Diane Kruger is a fine looking lady, but Orlando was fresh of his pretty boy look as Legolas in LOTR.
Thanks for playing such important roles in these amazing moves Orlando Bloom
Love Kingdom of Heaven, Orlando’s so good in that❤
I saw John Rhys-Davies at ComiCon in Indianapolis earlier this year. He loves to tell stories, and a wicked sense of humor. In the Panel myself and friends sat in, another fan asked Davies what was the best part of being in Lord of the Rings. He replied, "You mean besides those checks I get every month?"
I was thinking about Orlando Blook the other day and his acting career. Literally in some of the greatest movies ever created. LoTR, Pirates of the Caribbean, Kindom of Heaven, Troy, Black Hawk Down. All top tier movies, wild to think about.
Must be so cool to be Legolas and Will Turner
He seems so honest
Kingdom Of Heaven is just my all time favorite and watch it every year. It holds a special place in my heart! Thanks to Orlando for playing the main character Balian!
Really is an amazing film! 🎉
Im misssing Elizabethtown... One of my favorite movies ❤
Omg still love him
What a legend. Loved him in Needle in a Timestack
He nailed all the LOTR lines. Shows how epic those movies were.
"Your friends are with you, Aragorn."
Great actor, and I'm so grateful for his parts in my favorite movies.
I totally forgot he was in Troy.... I need to watch that movie again...
Guy did LOTR & POTC back to back. Can't think of a more epic start to an actor's career
Such a cool mindset
Thank you!
Man has an impressive line of characters to his name, and did not bring one to shame!
Iconic actor. So many good films. Kingdom, LOTR, Pirates. He was king of the cinema when I was teenager.
I have liked all is roles I have seen/heard him in on Film, TV, Stage, Voice work, also proud he is a Kent boy like me as we know he was born/raised in Canterbury-was only there last week!
I'm in the between part of Dartford/Bexley in Kent 😀
I made myself having movie marathon with your movies today❤
Fue en el año 2002 que me hice fan de Orlando con las películas del Señor de los Anillos. Y a partir de allí seguí su trayectoria. No sabía que él odiaba a Paris, a mí que me encanta ese personaje jaja. Me siento tan vieja ahora!
What a chill dude
Mr. Orlando, you player Legolas perfectly! Thank you for that awesome acting!!
He's fantastic, I'd love to see him in more movies
Nothing makes me feel so mortal as seeing celebrities from my childhood become older.
Matured Bloom looks and sounds fantastic! 😍 I wish he'd be cast more often these days.
I was pleasantly surprised to hear about his Peppa Pig lol that's hilarious and so cute. Also, as soon as he read the crew member line, I knew it was the second one ; Dead Man's Chest! My FAVORITE ONE. ❤ He is such an iconic actor and has been in so many films from many people's childhoods and stuff.
I was expecting some lines from Elizabethtown. I really like that film ❤
He really cares about his craft. Amazing!
my love
I clearly remember going to see Pirates of the Caribbean in the theater and there wasn't really a lot of buzz surrounding it. It was really just another random summer adventure movie. You know that feeling in the air when you leave the theater and everyone excited cause they just saw a damn good movie who ended on a high note? It was definetly like that
I loved him in lord of the rings and pirates of the Caribbean and i grew up with the movies!!! He and i actually have the same birthday!
He was and still is the only guy who had a character that made my jaw drop and be mesmerized by a Tolkien elf when he appeared in Imladris the first time. Truly amazing hahaha
Would've loved to see an Elizabethtown line, one of my favorite movies
Love this man! 🤍
this video is so emotional and beautiful, I really like how he owns LOTR ones😂
Lots of good memories
I just rewatched Pirates, ant let me tell you it 100% holds up. Had a blast with every movie.
He didn't wanna do Troy!? he was amazing in the movie!
It’s so interesting how multiple actors feel the same way about iconic rolls they have played and how it sometimes casts too big of a shadow on new rolls you play.
I still watch Lord of the Rings and Pirates as my comfort films. They have such a special place in my heart and it just happens to have Orlando Bloom in both
Awesome actor and my fav character Legolas 🫶🏼
I'll just leave this here "3:15 - 3:28" and give it a standing ovation👏
If any day a Chester Bennington Documentary/Movie is planned, please hire Mr Bloom. It would fit like a glove
I didn't know Orlando was in Wilde as well. It's baffling how much then young - now acclaimed talent is in that movie. Fantastic casting directors on that one.
What a cool, humble gent.
Young Orlando will never die😢❤
“He’s a pirate.” -POTC
LOTR introduces me to Orlando. I fall for him instantly when he played Legolas, the golden silky long hair, crystal blue eyes and all. Probably no one can replace Orlando with Legolas
