I woke up today feeling quite flu-ish — sore throat, headachey, running nose. And on my one day off! Grrrrr. Still, I trekked into the West End for various amusements. And at one point, I found myself swept up into a teeny-bopper mob outside the Duke of York’s Theatre, waiting for Orlando Bloom to emerge from the stage door. He is starring in the drama In Celebration, which has garnered strong reviews.
There were so many people crowded outside the theatre. This is just one small sample:
There were hordes of people across the street too. I had no idea what was going on as I passed by, but it was such a strange sight that I asked someone in the crowd. And once I found out what was happening, of course I had to stick around to watch.
I’m not a fan of Orlando Bloom. I don’t find him to be interesting, charismatic or handsome (even less so now with the much-ballyhooed mustache). I didn’t realize he was so popular with the youngins, but good grief — they were screaming his name and acting crazy in a Beatles-esque way.
We had to wait quite a while for him to emerge. St. Martin’s Lane became so thick with people that taxis couldn’t get down the street and started blasting their horns. The highlight of the wait had to be the argument that erupted over Orlando’s penis size. Two drunks staggered out of the pub next door and decided to hurl insults into the crowd.
“You’re wasting your time!” one of the guys shouted. “Orlando Bloom has a small penis!”
Without missing a beat, a woman in the crowd shouted back: “You oughtta know!”
Another woman screamed, “You’re just jealous!” It was all quite dignified.
When OB finally showed his face, I couldn’t see much. Luckily, I’m taller than the average teenage girl and have freakishly long arms, so I just held my camera up in the air and snapped a few photos without being able to see what I was shooting. I learned today that to be a papparazzo, you need strong arms. It was fun, but I think I prefer taking photos of inanimate objects, not a pretty boy in a frenzied sea of estrogen. To be honest, it was all quite frightening.

Frightening? He’s gorgeous. I hate the Pirates of the Caribbean series, but I like him! He’s easy on the eyes!
As I always say about my boyz, I wouldn’t kick him out of my bed for eating crackers!

August 5th, 2007 at 6:40 amFINALLY! Another woman with the same opinion of Orlando Bloom! I thought I was the only one who wasn’t at all attracted to him. Now I’ll just have to discover if you think Brad Pitt has a horse face just like I think he does. ;D

I don’t find Brad Pitt to be attractive at all! I could never understand his appeal. UGH!

I do find Orlando quite attractive, but beyond that the first photo you posted is really cool looking. Regardless of who might be in it!

Thank you nikoline! So glad someone else belongs to the Orlando Bloom fan club as I do! (LOL!)
Which of us is running for President of the Orlando Bloom Fan Club next year?
