Do You Really Know Orlando Bloom? Quiz

Answer: Thirteen

Orlando believed that his father was anti-apartheid activist Harry Bloom, who died when Orlando was four, but when he was 13, his mother told him and his sister Samantha, that their biological father was a man named Colin Stone, Orlando's legal guardian. Of this matter, Orlando has said, "I don't know any family who doesn't have a little story somewhere.

Besides, if you didn't have those things in your life, you'd be so bland." (GQ December 2003)

Answer: No

At the age of two, Orlando and his mother never moved to the United States.

Zoe Saldana played Orlando's love interest in "Haven" (2004). She also played Anamaria, the feisty female pirate in "Pirates of the Caribbean" (2003). Liv played the elf Arwen in "Lord of the Rings".

Answer: No

Orlando's mother never thought about giving up her precious son for adoption. However, when he was only a few months old, his mother had a slight tumble that caused her infant son to bang his head.

"It's not nearly as terrible as it sounds," says Orlando, "She was gathering wood and holding me, and she bent over and knocked my head." (GQ December 2003)

This was the beginning of his many injuries.

Answer: Monkey

He was four and played a monkey in a play. The costume was heavy and hot and, "I itched my butt, and The entire audience was laughing at me." (Jay Leno interview, January 4, 2004)

Answer: Washing machine

Orlando was visiting a friend's new apartment when he noticed that the balcony was only a few feet over and down from the window he was standing at. The adventurous young man decided he could just jump onto the drainpipe and then across and down to the balcony.

Unfortunately, the drainpipe was old and falling apart and collapsed. Orlando plummeted 3 stories before landing on another balcony, pinned between a washing machine and the wall of the balcony. No one was home in the apartment, so they had to bring in a helicopter to transport him to the hospital.

He had broken his back, but luckily recovered and escaped paralysis.

Answer: Green Peace

The organization's supporters were protesting a gas station company that they believed pollutes the air more than others. Some people even handcuffed themselves to the gas pumps, while others, like Orlando, just signed a petition. Since this incident, there has been an annual project by Orlando's fans around his birthday, called the Orlando Bloom Birthday Project. Fans donate money to the project's directors who then send the money to Green Peace under Orlando's name.

Answer: Key ring

Orlando then wore the key ring on a chain around his neck, along with a shell from Thailand, a piece of greenstone from Billy Boyd, a prayer baton from India, a silver ball from Tokyo, and a New York City handcuff key. He says, "I've always kept all these funny little things, even as a kid.

But I'm trying to cut it out, become more streamlined. Otherwise it starts to feel like the things own you. These things fill up my heart. If I were to ever lose them, I'd be really devastated."

Answer: Achilles

Orlando plays Paris. Paris has an affair with Helen, who is already married. When he refuses to return Helen to her husband, the Trojan War begins. Paris shoots Achilles, played by Brad Pitt, in his heel, the only place where he can be killed, but is later killed by the gods. "Troy" was co-written and directed by Wolfgang Peterson ("Air Force One", "The Perfect Storm"). Co-producers were Gail Katz, and Diana Rathbun.

It was written by David Benioff ("The 25th Hour").
