Orlando blooms

Just a short note on hot guys :) ... and isn't that the best kind? Just excuse me as I gush like a silly schoolboy for a second.

Orlando Bloom had me drooling for pointy-eared blond slyphlike elves in the Lord of the Rings. All dashing, lithe and sexy despite the slight untouchable, androgynous-like quality that hung about the race. Then he dove into the swashbuckler role of a pirate protege in the Caribbean which left me weak in the knees - and all too ready to fall into his arms. Like everyone else, I tried my best to forget his role as the callow, spineless Paris in the largely forgettable Troy.

And then Orlando walks onto the screen, all bulked up with toned muscle and testosterone-laden in a recent movie preview. I'm practically drooling! Who could have possibly guessed that the slim elfling could blossom into a bonafide hubba-hubba hunk. Shows you what protein shakes and grueling days at the gym can do!



Loosely based on a true story and set during the Crusades, it tells the tale of a peasant blacksmith named Balian of Ibelin who rises to knighthood to protect the Holy Land of Jerusalem from foreign invaders. Kingdom of Heaven opens next week over here and I'll definitely be first in line.
