Orlando Bloom | Born 1977

The then-unknown actor Orlando Bloom did not realize that starring as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings trilogy would propel him to the limelight. The three films went on to receive numerous nominations and awards and remains to be one of his highest grossing movies to date. After his time with LOTR, Bloom went on to become one of the stars in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Needless to say, it raked in millions of dollars and made him quite famous to say the least.

Aside from reprising his role in The Hobbit franchise, he was also in other films like Troy, Elizabethtown, Kingdom of Heaven, The Three Musketeers, and Romans. However, these movies did not have the same success as the previous franchises. The actor has stepped back somewhat from acting because he has become a UNICEF ambassador. To his credit, he is playing a much more serious role and that is being a father to his children.
