2. His favorite characters are Legolas and Romeo
Lord of the Rings fans, rejoice! Though Bloom says he falls in love with every character he tackles, he feels an extra special connection both to his current role as Romeo and to his Lord of the Rings and Hobbit character, Legolas.
“Legolas is my soul and then Romeo is my heart—really this year, I’ve had the chance to live my characterial dreams — is that even a word, characterial?”
4. Viggo Mortensen is the person who’s influenced him the most
Bloom didn’t skip a beat in saying fellow Lord of the Rings costar Viggo Mortensen is the actor he’s worked with who’s had the most influence on his career.
The actor said he and Mortensen spent nearly every day filming together during the two years it took to make the Lord of the Rings films because they are the same height and needed to be filmed to look taller than the actors playing the hobbits.
“Viggo Mortensen had the biggest impact on me in terms of approach, dedication, intention, and artistic outlook and I’m nowhere close to how good he is as an artist and I wouldn’t even put myself in the same category as an actor.” said Bloom.
There's a half hour video of him chatting with ew.com I haven't listened to yet. For anyone who listens, fill us in on the good stuff. :-)

is interesting, in light of some recent conversations about Viggo Mortensen.
I sometimes forget how young Orlando Bloom was when he was filming LOTR. I like the way Orlando talks about Viggo here.

I've seen Bloom credit a few actors with being good role models for him and teaching him things.
That tells me he is open to learning and improving himself. And that he sees more experienced people as someone who can teach him things (which many people today are NOT open to). That makes me respect him.
But also, for him to pick Viggo out of that group of people means he has elevated Viggo's advice in value in some manner. That is especially pertinent to the recent conversation we're both remembering.
