Harper's Bazaar, April 2002 edition, have touted Orlando as "the next Brad Pitt."
Here's the article: The new Brad Pitt: Orlando Bloom
You might remember him from... Bloom, 24, single-handedly stole the show playing the blond elf Legolas in The Lord of the Rings, followed up with Black Hawk Down.
Where you'll see him next: in comedian Sacha Baron Cohen's first big screen venture, Ali G In Da House. And elfing it up in the next two installments of The Lord of the Rings
Calling card: cool, calm, collected
Why he's the new Brad: the face. Bound to rebel against "pretty-boy" roles to play against type (as Brad did in Kalifornia)
