QUOTE

Three years later, the British heartthrob is back among 'Pirates,' but he's not the same actor.
By BARRY KOLTNOW

Orlando Bloom must be one heck of an actor.

Sitting in a Beverly Hills hotel suite, his dog Sidi at his feet, he is explaining with a straight face how difficult it was at times to be forced to move from one beach house to another for nine months while filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest."

But he's not that great of an actor. He can't maintain the act very long, and a broad grin crosses his boyishly handsome face. Finally, a raucous, chest-heaving laugh erupts, and he's totally busted.

Who was this guy trying to kid? There is no down side to hanging out with Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley on the set, spending his considerable down time swimming, scuba diving and playing chess and banking a huge salary for making what is expected to be one of the biggest movies of the summer.

"Hey, some of the houses I had to live in weren't right on the ocean," he says with a sly smile and a raised eyebrow. "I had to walk a few feet."

The 29-year-old heartthrob is devoid of ego or pretense, so you know that he understands that he is one very lucky dude.

"I have been unbelievably fortunate," he says, elongating the pronunciation of "unbelievably" for emphasis. "When I came out of drama school, I thought I might do a little theater and a bit of television, and if I were really lucky, maybe a small film or two."

Although he did have a small role in the 1998 British film "Wilde," Bloom's grand entrance into Hollywood was in the first installment of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, which was seen by more than a few people.

Ridley Scott's "Black Hawk Down" and two more parts of the "Rings" trilogy would come, but it was his role as Will Turner, Knightley's leading man and straight man to Depp's hilarious and Oscar-nominated performance as Capt. Jack Sparrow in the surprise 2003 hit "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl," that changed his life.

"Everything changed after that. Before that, I wore a blond wig (as the elf Legolas in the "Rings" trilogy) and nobody really recognized me on the street. Now, everybody recognizes me."

A lot of things changed with the success of the first "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie. It not only turned Bloom into a star, but it transformed Depp from a respected actor known for his quirky roles in underachieving films to a genuine, bankable superstar.

"I definitely wasn't a crowd-pleaser," Depp says. "I was very surprised by the success of the first movie. I was incredibly surprised. I am still surprised."

He wasn't alone.

As a genre, pirate movies had seen their best days.

"Everybody was skeptical about its commercial prospects," said producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who knows a thing or two about blockbusters.

"On paper, you were looking at a movie based on a theme-park ride that was following (a movie based on) the Country Bears."

Director Gore Verbinski said he had very low expectations on the eve of the first movie's release.

"I was hoping that it would make its money back, and that I would get to work again. I was hoping that it would give me just one more chance at employment."

The movie had a strong opening weekend, but instead of dipping the next weekend, it continued to build. It kept attracting audiences until it had grossed $653 million at the worldwide box office. It also was nominated for five Oscars.

Once Disney executives realized that their little pirate movie had sunk the competition and collected all the box-office booty, they immediately met with Bruckheimer to discuss a sequel. Why not two sequels?

Bruckheimer insists he's not sure whether it was he or Disney that suggested filming two sequels at the same time, but he said it made sense.

The producer said it would be almost impossible to coordinate the schedules of the film's director, writers and stars for separate sequels, particularly after the success of the first movie, so it was easier to film both sequels at the same time.

It is not unprecedented. The second and third "Back to the Future" movies were filmed simultaneously, as was the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

Although Verbinski already has filmed for 200 days, he said he still has 70 days of shooting before he finishes the third "Pirates" movie. New filming will begin in August, mostly on Los Angeles soundstages.

Bloom, who was born in Canterbury, Kent, England, and is in a serious relationship with actress Kate Bosworth of "Superman Returns," said he was filming the movie "Troy" when he heard of the continuing success of the first "Pirates" movie.

"It just kept going and going," he said, shaking his head in lingering disbelief. "It wouldn't stop. I couldn't believe it."

When he got the call that Disney wanted to film two sequels, Bloom said, he didn't hesitate to accept.

"Why would I say no? I get to work with Johnny and Keira again. I get to go to the Caribbean for nine months. I could tell you that I'd miss my London home too much, but I'd be lying. There were no negatives."

In the first sequel, which opens Friday, Bloom and Knightley return as Will and Elizabeth, whose relationship has matured from simple puppy love to an adult relationship on the brink of marriage.

Of course, that relationship is tested when the couple get involved in another Jack Sparrow adventure. This time, the Keith Richards-inspired pirate reveals that he owes a debt to the frightening Davy Jones, a dangerous and seriously dead buccaneer who captains the ghost ship Flying Dutchman.

If Jack (Depp) can't figure a way to satisfy his debt to Jones, he will be banished to a life as a dead pirate on the ghost ship. So much for Will and Elizabeth's marriage plans.

"I was so innocent and strait-laced in the first movie that it was exciting to discover my inner pirate in the sequel," Bloom said. "I really got to live out some childhood fantasies on this one."

Verbinski said he cast Bloom as Will Turner in the first movie after Scott recommended him for the role.

"When I met him, I got a real D'Artagnan vibe from him," the director said, referring to the swashbuckling hero from "The Three Musketeers."

"There was both a certain naiveté and an earnestness about him that struck me. Yes, he can play the teen heartthrob, but he's also got a much more serious side."

The director said Bloom stunned him when he showed up for work on the two sequels.

"Orlando had really blossomed in the two years since I last saw him," Verbinski said. "His voice had changed, and he exuded an amazing confidence. His career had taken a trajectory since the first 'Pirates' movie and it humbled him. He really had his feet on the ground.

"And that worked perfectly in the second movie because his character's relationship with Elizabeth was much more complex in this movie."

Verbinski said Bloom's matinee-idol looks are obvious, but audiences will see a new Orlando Bloom in this film.

"Yes, he can be charming and funny on the screen. That takes no effort for him. But his strength comes when he plays against type. I love when he acts dorky. That produces some of his best acting."

When Verbinski mentioned the trajectory of Bloom's career, he said, he was referring to films released after the first "Pirates" movie.

In Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven" and the Cameron Crowe-directed romantic comedy "Elizabethtown," Bloom got his chance to be the star who carries the movie. Neither movie lived up to industry expectations, but Bloom is not about to apologize for either project.

"As a big American commercial success, the first 'Pirates of the Caribbean' movie gave me credibility in Hollywood as a leading romantic man. Suddenly, studios reacted differently toward me. The movie gave me 'ka-ching' value in a town that worships 'ka-ching' power.

"That's the good side of this kind of success. The other side is that such success brings a lot of responsibility. Now, I have to take responsibility for the choices I make. I'm the guy whose name is on the movie.

"And that's OK. I am proud of both those movies. I'm not even sure why 'Kingdom of Heaven' was considered a disappointment. How can a movie that made $200 million worldwide be a disappointment?

"As for 'Elizabethtown,' it was exactly the kind of movie I wanted to make then, and it is the kind of movie I want to continue to make. These are movies with human stories. I love those kinds of movies because you do more acting in one day than you do in nine months in the Caribbean.

"I'm not knocking 'Pirates of the Caribbean,' but there were days when Johnny and I would look at each other and wonder whether we were actors or stunt men.

"I just want people to know that I'm not always going to be in a blockbuster. There are a few small films in my future."
