Orlando Bloom Soaks Up Nepal Trip

Orlando Bloom Soaks Up Nepal Trip While most of us were eating cold noodles and watching Project Runway, another major Hollywood actor joined the industry’s growing brigade of charitable stars. Orlando Bloom recently took a four-day tour of Nepal on a UNICEF-supported visit, which took the 30-year-old actor to the impoverished western districts of Kaski and Chitwan. “Another Hollywood movie star might feel strange in a remote and impoverished area of Nepal, but [he] seemed perfectly at ease,” the humanitarian organization reports. Indeed, Mr. Bloom apparently took to certain Nepalese customs swimmingly. In one village, Mr. Bloom, who seemingly has no confirmed projects currently underway, had his forehead smeared with red “tika” by local women, who also offered him garlands of flowers to wear.

Bloom & Wood Handprints for a Good Cause

Bloom & Wood Handprints for a Good Cause Lith writes: Just wanted to drop you a line to provide some info about a couple of LOTR actors who participated in a charity project to benefit children’s charity in the UK. Back in 2005, an organization called Celebrity Handprints collected inked handprints from over 100 celebrities, and now their first collection of many of them is available for purchase. Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom both appear (at least their handprints do) in the book; both actors’ handprints are also being offered as limited edition early release prints. The charity was featured in this recent article in Ireland Online.

To view the site for the book, with links to several celebrity handprints, go to this link.

The direct links to Elijah’s and Orlando’s handprints are, respectively here,
and here.

Perhaps some fans out there would be interested in owning the book or one of those limited release handprints, while contributing to aid for children at the same time.

Today this good fortune and hard work culminate when the artist releases a lithograph celebrating “The Fellowship of the Ring,” film released in 2001.

At the San Diego Comic-Con 2001, Elijah Wood walked around the mammoth floor of convention floor drinking in the celebration of popular culture and keeping his eye out for hints of how the world might accept the movie he had worked on that was about to overwhelm popular culture, the first film in Peter Jackson’s “The Lord of the Rings.”
