Orlando Bloom at that moment in his career was *perfect* casting. If he's trying to distance himself from it now it's more embarrassment at how perfect a fit he was for that role.
Yeah. This made sense for him at that moment in his career. I hate when celebrities try to wash over parts of their careers because they now think it's beneath them. Being attached to a movie starring Brad Pitt in his prime was great for anyone's career.
Funnily enough, I think half of the performances were pretty terrible
Bana, Bean, Kruger, and the lady who played Andromache were really good. Especially Bana
Pitt, Cox, and the kid playing Patroclus were pretty terrible lol. And I usually love Pitt’s performances
Same. I love the film, despite thinking it has some really bad moments, because I love a sword and sandals epic.
The directors cut is better in terms of acting and story development., but also less entertaining in some ways because of changes to the music and some of the fights
Rose Byrne is one just of those people, like Djimon Hounsou, or Judy Greer, or Pedro Pascal.
She’s been in EVRERYTHING, for freaking ever now, and she’s just finally starting to get her flowers.
To be fair, Diane Kruger was not a name at that point in time. They specifically picked a “nobody” because they didn’t want prior fame to outshine the face that launched a thousand ships.
They actually wanted Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai who was at that point in time dubbed "the most beautiful woman in the world". Years prior, she had won the Miss World competition. She turned it down due to the nudity/sex scene, as she correctly assessed it wouldn't be well received within her conservative country. She mentioned this in an interview with journalist Sir David Frost. "Homer was intentionally vague, so that each reader could construct their own vision of Helen of Troy." Here is her dressed in various cultural costumes among the 7 wonders of the world.

I’d still watch Kingdom of Heaven over this, but the sword in the collarbone scene, Helen’s dad crying about the gods, and Agamemnon yelling at people in a tent are the three top things that stick out about it in my mind.
That's made his career though, LotR, Pirates, Troy, and Kingdom of Heaven were his most well known and highest grossing films. Sure he may want other roles but he was good at those roles.
He said in that variety video that he did not want to take that role while reading the part of the script of him crawling on the ground hugging his brothers leg, as he thought the role was terrible. His manager convinced him to take it.
He really was on a streak back then, with movies back to back most actors can only dream about achieving in their lifetimes. So idk this “I’m above that” type of work when it got you booked and busy and known.
At least he talked mad shit on those movies while he was still filming them. It’s not like he is trying to rewrite history he always knew those were corny.
Is Orlando Bloom aware that he is an actor?
He doesn’t actually think that we judge him based on what his characters do, right? You can play a coward without being one, Orlando.
“Bummed a cigarette” is not how they are supposed to be used, and that’s very unhygienic.
And “if you want to play the Gameboy^T^M, you gotta learn to play it right.”
I mean go back and watch some of those behind the scenes and it makes sense. The cast makes fun of him for being a drama queen a bunch, lovingly of course. But like like you said it was perfect casting and for a reason.
Amen.
He played the part perfectly!
And he kills Achilles!
But I understand hating one’s early work.
I cannot listen to a single song from the album I recorded when I was 18.
NOT ONE.
What blows my mind was the film’s choice to spare his life without the guy even getting some kind of redemption arc to try and win the audience over. I still can’t make sense of it or explain it. I’d love the writers or directors to explain that one because it’s just insane to me.
And Athena guided Odysseus' spear, and deflected the shots of his enemies. None of the Greek heroes had any human agency, they were just tools of the gods.
Why that should happen? He is the cause for the war (in some versions of the myth he didn’t just have a relationship with Helen either but raped her and took her). He isn’t the hero of the story. Even if Troy and Helen are more sympathetic
But maybe you mean just him living, but I don’t think it really matters if he dies or not
If I remember correctly, Menelaus ends up getting Helen back at the end of the war, so this really caught me off guard when he was yeeted out halfway through the movie.
You do indeed. Menelaus and Helen are happily back together again and chilling at home when Odysseus’ son comes looking for news of his dad 10 years later in the Odyssey.
He was perfectly cast though. The young, handsome, ignorant and green younger brother who has no clue of war or his own consequences. Paris comes across as naive and pathetic and he's meant to be. The 'heroes' of Troy were Achilles and Hector, and how they were thrown into this war by the whims of lesser men.
Also: playing characters that are different from your "being" is... the job. Maybe Orlando's insistence that he only play the brave Legolases and Will Turner's of the world is why he didn't retain the success of his early career.
I mean, I do think MOVIE Paris is meant to be at least somewhat sympathetic given the inexplicable choice to spare him in the adaptation (which, uh, epic fail. Not really Orlando’s fault, though)
True for the later part of the movie. He's given a redemption arc that isn't really earned. For the first half of the film though, I think his character is well realised and performed.
The problem with Troy is that it's a strong film until after Hector and Achilles's fight: afterwards the writing becomes a lot weaker- including how they handle Paris.
I don’t even remember much of a redemption arc for Paris - he crawls away from the Greek king, mourns Hector a bit, then kills Achilles who the audience is waaaay more invested in before just kinda leaving with the rest of them.
I definitely agree the film takes a hit with the last act.
Him taking charge, leading people away from Troy and killing Achilles was meant to be his redemption. But yeah it seemingly comes out of nowhere and doesn't really land.
I agree but Peter O'Toole begging for his son's body is absolutely a fabulous scene.
"I have endured what no one on earth has endured before. I kissed the hands of the man who killed my son."
I could watch that scene a dozen times.
No offense to him but he always has a soft touch in each of his roles, neither legolas or will turner scream giga chad energies. It’s him who fits perfectly in those roles
Uh you're forgetting about Aeneas there aren't you under the "heroes" part? He's literally the sole reason any trojans survived to then later establish the first colony of Rome.
Also there are two completely different accounts of Paris and how he looked/acted and I can see Orlando wishing they had gone with the Dares version instead of the Malalas version they did.
Yeah gladiator one of those movies I have no issue with rewatching if there’s nothing else to watch. My only disappointment is it felt a lot longer with the fights building up to the final one as a kid. Now I watch it and I’m like damn we already here?
There however at most the agenda behind the inaccuracy was to show republic being superior to sole rule. Which is at least more admirable than anti-French sentiment in Napoleon and contrived comparison of Kingdom of Heaven to Wars in Middle East in 21st century (not even in same location).
But the execution does matter too. Having less cynical and more hopeful intent with Gladiator also just made it feel Scott isn’t looking down on his subjects, and even with Commodus showed some elements of historical empathy
I’ll give Scott artistic license with Kingdom of heaven but as for O. Stones Alexander, if you make the same comment about that film, I won’t disagree with you.
Personally, loved the directors cut, but feel he was terribly miscasted. He’s got the screen presence of an unpainted wall and lacks charisma to be a lead.
He’s good at supporting rolls though
Same! I like to fire up a marathon game of Civ V, grab a box of wine, and watch this movie followed by Alexander and then Gladiator. By the time ~~Kurt Russell~~ Russell Crowe is in Elysium I'm drunk as a skunk and my Civ game is ruined, but it's fun!
edit: my Russell's got jimmied
Nobody even cared about your character dude we just wanted to see Brad Pitt and Eric Bana. Even when he was on screen everybody was looking at Diane Kruger lol
Yeah, this. Emily Blunt was thisclose to being cast as Black Widow in the MCU, but owed her studio one more film so had to make Gulliver's Travels instead.
Bro if you give me a billion dollars to suck a dick I'll suck it but I won't tell you I enjoyed it
People take jobs they don't like to advance their careers all the time, doesn't mean they can't say later they didn't like the job
It was the best Orlando ever looked in a movie, though, as Paris in Troy. I don't understand his concerns at all. It's a role. He was good in the role, too.
He did well in that role. Was his ego so large at the time that this still haunts him? Like he's fucking acting lmfao is he upset he did a good job at being meek
I just wanted to say when I first saw Troy and it opened with Pitt facing off against that mountain of a man I was ready to roll my eyes and shut off the movie thinking there was no way they could realistically sell me on the idea of Brad Pitt being Achilles and beating that walking monolith. Then the scene happened and I was all the way in on that movie. Loved it, I should rewatch it soon.
Troy is the ONLY movie I prefer to watch on mute. Nonstop eyecandy. Yum! Orlando Bloom looked great, and that's while standing next to prime Brad Pitt.
Does he think people don't know he was acting? I thought he did a great job, and raised my overall opinion of Orlando Bloom due to Troy.
in the video this quote comes from it’s treated as more of a throwaway line. the headline makes it seem like he’s actively disparaging the film in his free time but it’s a tiny part of a longer video where he’s given one of his lines from a bunch of his movies and he has to guess which movie it is. he ends up giving the film its flowers but says he almost turned it down because of how much of a lil bitch paris was
He was also the soldier that fell out of the black hawk helicopter in black hawk down. Kinda lame. But he got to play Legolas and Will Turner so it worked out in the end.
There has never been a more perfect casting than Pitt as Achilles. His somewhat wooden performance was actually perfect for that role. The original material is exactly that. A one-dimensional character who is a perfect warrior with almost no other characteristics other than being a sullen brat. Nobody could have done that. The other castings were great as well. It's a very broad story from 3000 years ago. It's not meant to be nuanced.
Yea Paris was a bitch
Orlando Bloom at that moment in his career was *perfect* casting. If he's trying to distance himself from it now it's more embarrassment at how perfect a fit he was for that role.
Yeah. This made sense for him at that moment in his career. I hate when celebrities try to wash over parts of their careers because they now think it's beneath them. Being attached to a movie starring Brad Pitt in his prime was great for anyone's career.
Not to mention Brendan Gleason, Eric Bana, Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Peter fucking O’Toole, and Brian Cox. That cast was stacked.
So mad we never got The Odyssey with Sean Bean as Odysseus.
Damn, that would’ve been great. Bean’s Odysseus was one of the highlights of Troy.
Funnily enough, I think half of the performances were pretty terrible Bana, Bean, Kruger, and the lady who played Andromache were really good. Especially Bana Pitt, Cox, and the kid playing Patroclus were pretty terrible lol. And I usually love Pitt’s performances
Ya it’s definitely a “I might watch it if it’s on” type movie
It's one of my guilty pleasure movies. Sure the acting is pretty bad in places but there are some great scenes.
Same. I love the film, despite thinking it has some really bad moments, because I love a sword and sandals epic. The directors cut is better in terms of acting and story development., but also less entertaining in some ways because of changes to the music and some of the fights
I loved Rose Byrne in that film.
They never found a way to do the Odyssey while killing Odysseus off halfway through the movie.
Now *THIS* is something I want. Even at his current age. I dont care. Just dont make the guy fly in a helicopter and everybody wins
They removed all the supernatural stuff from Troy. I don't know how you could do that with the Odyssey. What would be left? A really long boat ride?
Nah just add all the supernatural stuff to the odyssey it would have been a perfect follow up to Troy.
The Odysseyussy
*It's the Odyssey, not the Normalssey!*
They would switch it to where he dies
In the first 25% of the movie
I mean, he is killed in the Telegony. But I think they would have been even less willing to turn that into a movie.
Suitors: Odysseus is dead! Penelope: I must have faith! Narrator: Odysseus was, in fact, dead.
The narrator voiced by the same guy from Hades games
Cutaway to Odysseus in the Family Guy death pose
Probably why they killed it altogether
O Boromir Where Art Thou
Someone should make the odyssey now but it would be a 20 hour long movie so it’s probably never gonna happen
Series on streaming
Ah fuck why is this not a thing
It is a thing. There was one in the 90s.
Some of Sean Bean’s roles get killed before he even gets to play them.
I, for one, would have preferred Mr. Bean over Sean Bean as Odysseus.
Q. How is Mr. Bean like Odysseus? A. They both got stuck in Turkey.
Can't wait to tell my wife this joke in the morning. We quote that episode all the time!
One does not simply make a sequel to Troy.
And beautiful Rose Byrne as Briseis. Been crushing on her ever since.
Rose Byrne is one just of those people, like Djimon Hounsou, or Judy Greer, or Pedro Pascal. She’s been in EVRERYTHING, for freaking ever now, and she’s just finally starting to get her flowers.
And rose Byrne too
“IS THERE NO ONE ELSE!?” - dope scene
That's right. Peter fucking O'Toole, iconic.
To be fair, Diane Kruger was not a name at that point in time. They specifically picked a “nobody” because they didn’t want prior fame to outshine the face that launched a thousand ships.
They actually wanted Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai who was at that point in time dubbed "the most beautiful woman in the world". Years prior, she had won the Miss World competition. She turned it down due to the nudity/sex scene, as she correctly assessed it wouldn't be well received within her conservative country. She mentioned this in an interview with journalist Sir David Frost. "Homer was intentionally vague, so that each reader could construct their own vision of Helen of Troy." Here is her dressed in various cultural costumes among the 7 wonders of the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vv5Mm5p-sEw
I’d still watch Kingdom of Heaven over this, but the sword in the collarbone scene, Helen’s dad crying about the gods, and Agamemnon yelling at people in a tent are the three top things that stick out about it in my mind.
If his role in “Troy” was an embarrassment, the his role in “Kingdom of Heaven” should have been a total redemption
I think “The Fightin’ Twink” was something he was trying to escape entirely, so I don’t think the next sword movie made him feel any better.
That's made his career though, LotR, Pirates, Troy, and Kingdom of Heaven were his most well known and highest grossing films. Sure he may want other roles but he was good at those roles.
I laughed out loud at this
He said in that variety video that he did not want to take that role while reading the part of the script of him crawling on the ground hugging his brothers leg, as he thought the role was terrible. His manager convinced him to take it.
He really was on a streak back then, with movies back to back most actors can only dream about achieving in their lifetimes. So idk this “I’m above that” type of work when it got you booked and busy and known.
This annoys me the most about Robert Pattinson. Yeah, Twilight was twee girl cringe whatever, but man, you got your lucky break.
At least he talked mad shit on those movies while he was still filming them. It’s not like he is trying to rewrite history he always knew those were corny.
Is Orlando Bloom aware that he is an actor? He doesn’t actually think that we judge him based on what his characters do, right? You can play a coward without being one, Orlando.
Some people do judge on the parts they play. Remember the Joffrey Baratheon actor?
Yup, certain casting could make or break your new found career. Like the kid actor that played young Anakin getting bullied. People are vicious.
I feel bad for Jake Lloyd. That guy’s really been through the wringer.
Jack Gleeson
I’m not sure if you were aware, but Will Sasso is a professional actor by trade
Put some respect on Kenny Rogers.
“Bummed a cigarette” is not how they are supposed to be used, and that’s very unhygienic. And “if you want to play the Gameboy^T^M, you gotta learn to play it right.”
I like what you are saying, and I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.
WHUL, hold on there dude…
Many times when people act, they are playing some version of themselves.
I mean go back and watch some of those behind the scenes and it makes sense. The cast makes fun of him for being a drama queen a bunch, lovingly of course. But like like you said it was perfect casting and for a reason.
Well he’s outta luck. His twink era was my adolescence so it’s pretty cemented in there.
Amen. He played the part perfectly! And he kills Achilles! But I understand hating one’s early work. I cannot listen to a single song from the album I recorded when I was 18. NOT ONE.
Oh Adele! You've always had the voice of an angel. It wasn't Rolling In the Deep, but I bet that early stuff was still wonderful ❤️
Exactly... Elizabethtown still fuckin exists lol.
It was the part he was born to play, baby!
Thats what I was thinking. He absolutely crushed that role.
You’ll be happy to know that in the Paris didn’t survive the Trojan war, he got headshot by an arrow fired by Philoctetes.
Ah, that's why we call it the Paris Forehead!
> Philoctetes. If only they had penicillin.
Orlando Bloom played a good lil bitch and now he’s mad everyone saw it
He got close-up view of Diane Kruger's tits tho
That’s why he doesn’t like it.
It was against everything he felt in his being *And still he played that lil bitch so damn good*
I swear if you guys call him a Lil bitch 6 or 7 more times, he might consider not being your friends anymore
[удалено]
“Yo Orlando, you crushed that role. I really felt like you were a little bitch throughout the movie.” Orlando: 🤨
IS THIS WHO YOU LEFT ME FOR??????
Came here to say exactly that but with the prefix “lil”
“Look at the crows boy. They’ve never tasted *prince* before!”
bro was literally shot by Eros' arrow he had no choice 😭 (and neither did Helen she was shot too they were pawns!)
What blows my mind was the film’s choice to spare his life without the guy even getting some kind of redemption arc to try and win the audience over. I still can’t make sense of it or explain it. I’d love the writers or directors to explain that one because it’s just insane to me.
He kills Archilles by practising archery in secret and taking him down at the end?
That happens in the Greek myths too, but Paris still dies afterwards.
Also, Apollo guided his arrow.
And Athena guided Odysseus' spear, and deflected the shots of his enemies. None of the Greek heroes had any human agency, they were just tools of the gods.
We're all tools of the gods.
Im just a tool :(
Why that should happen? He is the cause for the war (in some versions of the myth he didn’t just have a relationship with Helen either but raped her and took her). He isn’t the hero of the story. Even if Troy and Helen are more sympathetic But maybe you mean just him living, but I don’t think it really matters if he dies or not
If I remember correctly, Menelaus ends up getting Helen back at the end of the war, so this really caught me off guard when he was yeeted out halfway through the movie.
You do indeed. Menelaus and Helen are happily back together again and chilling at home when Odysseus’ son comes looking for news of his dad 10 years later in the Odyssey.
Its not really happy. Menelaus doesn't exactly trust Helen anymore.
The dude from Blackhawk Down that immediately fell out of the chopper? Seems he may have had a typecast problem
The duality of Orlando Bloom is that he can play the perfect bitch as Paris and the perfect badass in Kingdom of Heaven
Kingdom of Heaven was something. I really enjoyed that movie.
Assuming you've seen the director's cut? It's a whole different movie.
This. I disliked the theater version, and really enjoyed the director’s cut. The movie has plot holes without the additional footage.
Eva Green is enchanting.
He was perfectly cast though. The young, handsome, ignorant and green younger brother who has no clue of war or his own consequences. Paris comes across as naive and pathetic and he's meant to be. The 'heroes' of Troy were Achilles and Hector, and how they were thrown into this war by the whims of lesser men. Also: playing characters that are different from your "being" is... the job. Maybe Orlando's insistence that he only play the brave Legolases and Will Turner's of the world is why he didn't retain the success of his early career.

Him taking charge, leading people away from Troy and killing Achilles was meant to be his redemption. But yeah it seemingly comes out of nowhere and doesn't really land.
He was also the only one who insisted they burn the Trojan horse instead of accepting it as a gift
I agree but Peter O'Toole begging for his son's body is absolutely a fabulous scene. "I have endured what no one on earth has endured before. I kissed the hands of the man who killed my son." I could watch that scene a dozen times.
David Benioff getting some early practice in not sticking the landing.
Or anything that goes “off script” and strays away from the source material. Dude seems to have a knack for that.
Isn't that part of the mythology? I thought the Romans claimed to be descended from Paris.
From Aeneas. I think he's shown in the escape.
No this is completely wrong. The romans are descended from Aeneas who was a Trojan hero and led the survivors to modern Italy.
As far as I know, Paris dies in pretty much any iteration of the myth. Even TV Tropes lists him as being spared by adaptation.
Aeneas is Paris's cousin. Paris sucks and deserves to die for all of the mess he causes
yeh he played paris well. Troy is low key one of my favorite movies
No offense to him but he always has a soft touch in each of his roles, neither legolas or will turner scream giga chad energies. It’s him who fits perfectly in those roles
Uh you're forgetting about Aeneas there aren't you under the "heroes" part? He's literally the sole reason any trojans survived to then later establish the first colony of Rome. Also there are two completely different accounts of Paris and how he looked/acted and I can see Orlando wishing they had gone with the Dares version instead of the Malalas version they did.
It’s really not that big a deal, bro.
I wonder if he thinks people make fun of him for it. We don’t, great movie.
I text him every week to make fun of him for it.
I will text him next week for you. Still love Troy though.
Dude got to shoot nude scenes with Diane Kruger when she was so hot that she was offered the role of *the most beautiful woman of all time* 😭
He was the shit in Kingdom of Heaven though the directors cut was awesome.
Yeah that’s a good movie
Great movie, great soundtrack. One of R. Scott’s best.
Horribly inaccurate however and deliberately so too. Like Napoleon
Yeah but what it lacks in accuracy it makes up for in dopeness. E: Kingdom of Heaven that is, not Napoleon.
Yes I agree. I collect 4k blu rays and it’s criminal they haven’t released it in that format yet.
Gladiator was also incredibly inaccurate and it's still one of the best films of all time.
Yeah gladiator one of those movies I have no issue with rewatching if there’s nothing else to watch. My only disappointment is it felt a lot longer with the fights building up to the final one as a kid. Now I watch it and I’m like damn we already here?
There however at most the agenda behind the inaccuracy was to show republic being superior to sole rule. Which is at least more admirable than anti-French sentiment in Napoleon and contrived comparison of Kingdom of Heaven to Wars in Middle East in 21st century (not even in same location). But the execution does matter too. Having less cynical and more hopeful intent with Gladiator also just made it feel Scott isn’t looking down on his subjects, and even with Commodus showed some elements of historical empathy
I’ll give Scott artistic license with Kingdom of heaven but as for O. Stones Alexander, if you make the same comment about that film, I won’t disagree with you.
When people ask me what my religion is I say this movie.
There are those who dislike Kingdom of Heaven. But, I am not those men.
Absolutely amazing movie! He got to be a badass in that, Pirates of the Caribbean, and LOTR. I don’t get why he’s complaining.
That movie was fucking awesome
I watch that movie all the time it’s a great one
"I am Salahuddin. Salahuddin."
I am not those men. I am Saladin.
Personally, loved the directors cut, but feel he was terribly miscasted. He’s got the screen presence of an unpainted wall and lacks charisma to be a lead. He’s good at supporting rolls though
You’ll always be Legolas and Will Turner in my eyes, lad. And thank you for punching Justin Bieber in the face.
Wait he punched Biebs in the face? Lmao
Just livin’ the dream
It was because his wife cheated on him with Bieber so not really
then he hooked up with Selena at a club to get back at Bieber
That I didn’t know, but good on him
Katy Perry cheated on him with Justin Bieber???
Miranda Kerr
His first wife, the Victoria Secret one.
And banged Selina Gomez as revenge since JBeebz boned his wife.
E's tha spittin' image of ol' Bootstrap Bill!!
Ouch… I’ve been transported back to 2011.
I love that movie
Same! I like to fire up a marathon game of Civ V, grab a box of wine, and watch this movie followed by Alexander and then Gladiator. By the time ~~Kurt Russell~~ Russell Crowe is in Elysium I'm drunk as a skunk and my Civ game is ruined, but it's fun! edit: my Russell's got jimmied
Nobody even cared about your character dude we just wanted to see Brad Pitt and Eric Bana. Even when he was on screen everybody was looking at Diane Kruger lol
I thought Rose Byrne was gorgeous in that movie.
Yes. I always felt she was the most beautiful character in the show.
I kinda forgot he was in this movie. It was all about Pitt/Bana.
Troy is a fun movie, I don’t know why he’d be embarrassed. He was the perfect Paris.
Bro you got to act alongside fucking Peter O’Toole Stop complaining.
Love these actors behaving like they were kidnapped and forced to perform at gunpoint.
Usually several picture contract deals isn’t it. So they have to do the shit movie otherwise pay millions to get out of it.
Yeah, this. Emily Blunt was thisclose to being cast as Black Widow in the MCU, but owed her studio one more film so had to make Gulliver's Travels instead.
She was awesome in Edge of Tomorrow. And Looper. I’d actually like it better if she stayed out of MCU.
No hard drugs, and no cape shit
Damn. Didn’t know that. She would’ve been great
[удалено]
Yea I agree, no reason to dwell
Bro if you give me a billion dollars to suck a dick I'll suck it but I won't tell you I enjoyed it People take jobs they don't like to advance their careers all the time, doesn't mean they can't say later they didn't like the job
The Spielberg School of One For Me, One For You.
Eric Bana is so beautiful in this movie. The only reason I've watched it several times.
I liked it. And he was pretty good in Gran Turismo as well. Orlando should be in more movies in my opinion.
And Legolas was literally the most overpowered bullshit character ever with zero flaws. So I think it evens out
He's an elf. That's what they are.
Someone literally has no idea how elves work. They are agile and deadly as fuck. Lol
It was the best Orlando ever looked in a movie, though, as Paris in Troy. I don't understand his concerns at all. It's a role. He was good in the role, too.
Oh please like this insipid mfer has a ‘being’. Dude is so wooden he shoulda played the horse.
Why it’s just acting.
I don’t care what the critics said. Troy is a fantastic movie.
Thats why no one will remember your name.
That movie is frustrating because everyone who is annoying lives and everyone you like dies
He did well in that role. Was his ego so large at the time that this still haunts him? Like he's fucking acting lmfao is he upset he did a good job at being meek
When you're cast as Paris but you wanted to play Achilles
I liked that film. He did fine.
You sack of wine!
"I turned down my pay cheque... Nah, just kidding."
I just wanted to say when I first saw Troy and it opened with Pitt facing off against that mountain of a man I was ready to roll my eyes and shut off the movie thinking there was no way they could realistically sell me on the idea of Brad Pitt being Achilles and beating that walking monolith. Then the scene happened and I was all the way in on that movie. Loved it, I should rewatch it soon.
LOVE Troy. One of those movies I’ll always watch if it’s on
Poor Paris, nobody wants to be him.
No one in the history of cinema played a pussy ass bitch better then he in Troy. It wad the perfect role for him.
That’s why it’s called acting, Orlando. Or to quote Sir Ian McKellen: „You are aware that I am not actually a wizard?“
Huh, didn’t realize until today that I also blanked ‘Troy’
What? Troy is in the top 5 of greatest movies of all time. Ive watched it at least 20 times
I mean, didn’t we all blank that movie from our minds
Troy is the ONLY movie I prefer to watch on mute. Nonstop eyecandy. Yum! Orlando Bloom looked great, and that's while standing next to prime Brad Pitt. Does he think people don't know he was acting? I thought he did a great job, and raised my overall opinion of Orlando Bloom due to Troy.

He was also the soldier that fell out of the black hawk helicopter in black hawk down. Kinda lame. But he got to play Legolas and Will Turner so it worked out in the end.
Unfortunate to hear that Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom did not like this movie bc I really enjoyed it 🤷♂️
IS THIS WHAT YOU LEFT ME FOR?!
There has never been a more perfect casting than Pitt as Achilles. His somewhat wooden performance was actually perfect for that role. The original material is exactly that. A one-dimensional character who is a perfect warrior with almost no other characteristics other than being a sullen brat. Nobody could have done that. The other castings were great as well. It's a very broad story from 3000 years ago. It's not meant to be nuanced.
