Orlando Bloom was pissed off with himself when he became famous.

The 43-year-old rose to global fame in the early 2000s when he not only starred in the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, but also appeared in theaters in the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ franchise. When successes like ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ and ‘Elizabethtown’ followed in 2005, fame actually became too much for him. “It just happened,” the star told The Hollywood Reporter. “I had this crazy run. I don’t think there are many people who have had such a run, with two trilogies and Ridley Scott, Cameron Crowe …” The sudden fame bothered him. “I’ve had enough of the sight of me, with all the notoriety that inevitably came with all these films. I think you break yourself to a certain extent.”

After his current ex-wife Miranda Kerr became pregnant with their son Flynn, Orlando decided to take a break from filming so that he could be there for his son. He would also like to take the time for his unborn daughter, whom he is currently expecting with his fiancée Katy Perry. That is why he only accepts projects that he is convinced of. “Let me put it this way: I’m not doing it for the money or the fame. […] Now that I’m about to have another baby, my time has become so precious that all I want to do is do things that challenge me and give me the opportunity to develop, because that’s what it’s about me and that’s why I love it also to be an actor. “
