Orlando Bloom’s Behind-the-Scenes Stories from Lord of the Rings & Pirates

From Lord of the Rings to Pirates of the Caribbean, Orlando Bloom has lived many lives on screen—but this Fan Expo Dallas Q&A panel gives fans a glimpse into the actor behind the roles. Bloom shares candid stories about getting cast as Legolas two days before drama school graduation, performing his own stunts, and nearly working with Christopher Nolan on a Batman project he ultimately walked away from. He opens up about the pressures of fame, the early days filming in New Zealand, bonding with the Fellowship (yes, the tattoo story is real!), his work with UNICEF, and his favorite props and pranks. It's funny, heartfelt, and a must-watch for fans of LOTR, Pirates, and Bloom himself. 📍 Recorded live at Fan Expo Dallas 2025 🎥 Watch more celebrity interviews and panels: Tales From The Collection YouTube Channel
