The Best of Orlando Bloom

Not only is Orlando Bloom a ladies' man, he's as versatile an actor as they come. In the past, he's captured our hearts by playing the role of a swashbuckling pirate, a graceful elf, a prince and an amateur boxer, and he's still out there conquering new turf. With today being his 40th birthday, we take a look at some of his best hits

"Every stylish man should have a copy of The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand on his bookshelf."
 "I have played a boxer, a cowboy, a knight, a prince, an elf and a pirate. I am so glad to have done all of that already."
"As an actor, you can't think about the end result or the fame; you just have to focus on the day you're in. You have no control over the finished product, what people will think of it, so all you have is the experience of making it, and you have to stay focused on that."
"If life isn't about human beings and living in harmony, then I don't know what it's about."
"Elves live in harmony with the world, and I try to do that."
"Vig used to call me 'Elf boy', and I'd call him 'filthy human'. As an elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me, 'Oh, go manicure your nails."
"I'm amazed that things have panned out the way they have. I always say I'm so lucky, though my mum always says, 'You make your own luck'."
"I don't do a film unless it has a sword in it. And if it doesn't have a sword in it, I insist that they have one in the same room to keep me comfortable."
