Orlando Bloom got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: would you hit it?

Here are some photos of Orlando Bloom, receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Some of his friends were in attendance, and Orlando’s son Flynn also joined his dad. Flynn is SO CUTE. Seriously, I’m not even into babies/toddlers, but Flynn has a beautiful face – he’s a really combination of his parents. I used to see mostly Orlando in Flynn, but nowadays I see some Miranda Kerr too. And here’s my brain-fart moment: I was looking through the photo set and I was like, “Why in the world is Jerry Bruckheimer there?” Derp, Bruckheimer produced all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies.

Orly’s hair has grown long, hasn’t it? This is the longest he’s worn it in a while. Now, I’ve never been an Orlyloonie, although I am friends with some Orlyloonies and they are super-devoted. I have to think that Orlando’s newly-single status agrees with him – the longer hair combined with a good suit combined with a good shave. It’s working. He’s still pretty far down on my Top Hotties List, but he’s improving.

I always think it’s nice when a foreign actor gets their star on the Walk of Fame. They often seem so moved, like the star is a sign that Hollywood has really embraced them. Orlando did an interview with Variety ahead of this Walk of Fame ceremony where he discussed his career and what he’s learned. My takeaway is that he’s tired of doing the big, bloated special-effects-heavy movies but he doesn’t know where else he fits in the movie industry and the movie industry doesn’t know where he fits either. You can read the piece here.

If Orlando wants my career advice, I would suggest that he turn to television in a big way. Not network TV, per se, but something offbeat on cable, or even Showtime or HBO (at this point, HBO is more prestigious than most film studios). He doesn’t even have to sign on to a show – but he could do a miniseries or a TV movie or something. Michael Sheen is doing Masters of Sex, you know? (And Sheen is killing it.) And I keep seeing ads for Jamie Bell in a new American Revolution miniseries on A&E. There’s also Jared Harris on Mad Men, Tom Mison on Sleepy Hollow, Andrew Lincoln on Walking Dead and Jonny Lee Miller on Elementary. My point is that British actors are getting lots of work in Hollywood, but it’s mostly TV work. Orly should ride that wave.
