March 10, 2003 — The Sydney Morning Herald reports that Orlando is having tons of fun on the set of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

"It's all that fun, swashbuckling stuff, which is a good laugh. I'm loving it," said Bloom, in between takes on the set of the film. "But I'm really hoping to find a gap in my schedule to make it down to the premiere for Ned Kelly. I'd really like to be there [to Australia]."

In many ways Bloom should be considered an action star: his character Legolas was always running in The Lord Of The Rings, he jumped astride horses in Ned Kelly and these days he's indulging in sword fights with Depp. "I'm happy to keep up the momentum," he said, with a satisfied pause. "I'm having a ball."
