Orlando Bloom Says Farewell for Now
Get your fill of Orlando Bloom now while you can, maybe stock up on his DVD's and buy some magazines with him in it, because he's taking a break from showbiz. The foxy pirate has decided to immerse himself in a Buddhist lifestyle rather than make any more movies for now, saying that making back to back trilogies was exhausting.
Bloom says, "I've been white knuckling it for so long. Between the first Lord Of The Rings and the last Pirates Of The Caribbean I've been going non-stop. So now I just want some time and space from everything and the phone and the communication."
Bloom has been studying Buddhism for several years, and wants to totally focus his energies in that direction, rather than on the hustle and bustle of Hollywood. He has also committed himself to a "green" lifestyle in response to the world's global warming issues.
According to his IMDB page he has no other films in the works after the release of 'Pirates 3'.
I'll miss him.

What about that movie he was supposed to do with now-ex Kate Bosworth? Is it backburnered or cancelled outright? I actually wondered about it after they split.
