ORLANDO BLOOM has a confession to make. When he was first sent the script of the David Storey play In Celebration, he “didn’t know who David Storey was”. And the ignorance, it seems, was mutual. “No, I’m afraid I hadn’t heard of Orlando,” the playwright happily confesses. As Bloom prepares to star in a London West End revival of Storey’s work, this parallel blankness is perhaps unsurprising, these two theatrical collaborators coming from contrasting branches of culture. The 30-year-old actor has never appeared professionally on stage, having spent his whole decade as an actor in epic films, including Troy and Kingdom of Heaven, with a special line in high- octane trilogies: as Legolas in The Lord of the Rings, and as Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean.

LONDON (AFP) – “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Orlando Bloom disappointed thousands of female fans, insisting Wednesday he would not strip off in his London stage debut, despite fans’ hopes he would follow the lead of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe. Bloom will be treading the boards in the West End as one of the leads in David Storey’s play “In Celebration,” which opens Thursday. But despite rumours on Internet fan sites that he would bare all, as Radcliffe did in a recent London production of Peter Shaffer’s “Equus,” Bloom, 30, said that his modesty would remain intact.
