Oh and he is on social media so that should be corrected as well. He has instagram and facebook since the end of 2016.
He is still so handsome. Great father with a funny personality and he looks good. He is 40 and not showing it. I love him and that he does all this charity work and being a unicef ambassodor is making him extra special. He seems like a great person over all and my friend met him once at a premier and she said he was really polite and nice and talked to most of his fans. He seems really great♥
Orlando bloom is the most sexiest man alive. and the ones who say hes not just don t know what their talking about
