died when Orlando was four years old. “Harry was a great man. He fulfilled his

His biological father is friend Colin Stone. ”That was kind of a surprise”.

often on the set, very cosy!”

may lie, cheat and steal someone else’s wife, what else can I wish for?” And last
but not least, there will be a part two of POTC.
Examples:
He used to admire River Phoenix, but mostly superman Christopher Reeve. “There
was this girlfriend of mine who only had eyes for him.” These day’s Orlando
would love to have a career like Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp. “They don’t care
about the beautiful boys image”.
Hobbies

Orlando saw Monty Pyt hon and Stand by Me at least 20 times.

During the filiming of LOTR Orlando started to collect jewelry. “I also have
necklaces from Thailand, bracelets from Morocco and a ring from St. Vincent.
Sculptures: At school I had better marks for my sculptures then for acting class. But I
like to use that part of my brain as well”.
Extreme
sports: Jumping with parachutes, paragliding, bungeejumping, snowboarding,
surfing and biking. Orlando loves being outside and doing something a bit
dangerous. “I tried everything in New Zealand, so I don’t want to be a
daredevil anymore”.
Music:
He takes his cd’s of radiohead and Jamiroquai everywhere with him.
Shopping:
He likes to shop. He used to not have that much money to buy a pair of
expensive Japanese sneakers. But that’s not a problem anymore. “There was a
time I could only look at the stuff in the shops, but now I can by the outfits
I really like. Shopping is wonderful, it’s a sort of therapy for me”
