ORLANDO'S JUST SO BLOOMING HANDSOME Jun 14 2004


Troy boy is sexiest Brit star

By Fiona Cummins

TROY and Lord Of The Rings star Orlando Bloom has been voted Britain's sexiest actor.

Bloom, 27, has eclipsed popular hunks such as Jude Law, Hugh Grant, and Ewan McGregor in a poll.

The survey, conducted by Sky Movies, contains a few surprise faces and reveals that fresh-faced youth isn't everyone's idea of sex appeal.

Bloom's 45-year-old Troy co-star Sean Bean bags second place in the top 10, while Nil By Mouth's Ray Winstone, 47, is seventh.

In Greek epic Troy, Bloom plays Paris, who woos Helen, the woman whose legendary beauty launches a thousand ships.

Bloom's meteoric rise to fame came after he was cast as Legolas in the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, while he was still at drama school. He went from JRR Tolkien to Pirates Of The Caribbean and now stars with Brad Pitt in this summer's blockbuster Troy.

Unfortunately for his female fans, Bloom, who grew up in Canterbury, Kent, is dating rising young Hollywood actress Kate Bosworth.

The survey is good news for a star who says he was 'chubby' as a kid.

' Love Actually star Hugh Grant, 43, comes third in the poll, while Scots hunk Ewan McGregor is fourth.

McGregor pips Jude Law, 31, into fifth place, followed by new Batman star Christian Bale.

McGregor's Trainspotting co-star Jonny Lee Miller comes eighth, followed by Snatch actor Jason Statham, and 33-year-old Master And Commander star Paul Bettany in 10th place.

A Sky Movies spokesman said: 'It's usually the likes of Jude Law and Ewan McGregor who are voted Britain's sexiest actors. 'But it seems that Orlando Bloom's star is rising.'

Morning all...

Don't know how many of you saw the news I put up yesterday about Exene suing Viggo for more money for Henry, but it looks like it was true. Can't believe the Daily Mail managed to get the news first! :)

Regina sent me in a link to The Smoking Gun, where they have (alleged) copies of the actual documents.

I guess you can't blame Exene for asking for more money. According to the articles she's working as a teacher/librarian, and we all know how badly paid they are...but I can't help but wonder why it had to go through the courts. Viggo doesn't strike me as a tight-arse who would begrudge extra money to his son.

Oh well..what do I know?

I've also added details of "The Spoken Word Revolution" to the Creativity page. It's a poetry book featuring work by 20th Century American authors. Viggo's work appears in the "Youth Speaks" section, which made me laugh!

I have to go make Anniversary (it's my 15th wedding anniversary on Thursday - and they said it wouldn't last! lol) and Father's day cards..so probably no more updates (or email replies...HUGE apologies to those of you who have written to me and not received replies yet!) for the rest of the day.

hugs
