\"Orlandoshortlist.com<\/a><\/strong> has an interview with Orlando Bloom where they ask him about The Hobbit, check out the pertinent info below and read the whole interview here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

You\u2019re rumoured to be returning as Legolas in The Hobbit. Can you tell us anything about the project?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wish I could. I would be honoured if I was asked to do it, and I would run to work with Peter Jackson again. I adore him and I\u2019m so excited at the prospect of it. But at this stage, it\u2019s not something I can confirm. <\/p>\n

You and the LOTR cast all got matching tattoos during filming \u2014 are you still on each other\u2019s Christmas card list? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Yeah, it was a real family affair. I\u2019m still in touch with Billy Boyd [Pippin] \u2014 he\u2019s a very sweet man. And I\u2019ve got a card I\u2019m going to put in the mail to Viggo [Mortensen, who played Aragorn, pictured with Bloom above], because I\u2019ve been thinking about how much of an influence he was on me. He\u2019s so dedicated, disciplined and talented. He taught me a lot. And it was only afterwards that I realised it. It\u2019s funny: you look back on these things 10 years later and ask yourself, \u2018Who had a major impact on me?\u2019 As an actor, it was Viggo. I was unpacking a load of boxes recently, recounting old memories, and I remembered how lucky I was that he was around me at that time.<\/p>\n

Has starring in two of the most successful film franchises of the past decade been overwhelming?<\/strong><\/p>\n

There have been a few moments that have freaked me out. I took my grandmother to the premiere of the second Pirates movie in Leicester Square. That was slightly mad. Getting out of the car, all the energy \u2014 and with my grandma being there as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
