The actor discusses how he “fit the blurb” for a different character, Faramir.
Bloom didn’t originally audition for Legolas, though.
Instead, he first tried out for the role of Faramir.
“I had auditioned to play Faramir.
I guess I probably fit the blurb of Faramir at the time.
But then I got a callback to put myself on tape initially for Legolas,” he said.
“And I got another callback to meet Peter and Fran, who had come to London.
And then I waited–I was at drama school.
The rest is history.”
Bloom appeared in numerous high-profile movies early in his acting career.
