Imagine if Orlando Bloom was seen on the big screen serenading Nicole Kidman in “Moulin Rouge!” in 2001 instead of Ewan McGregor.
It was a real possibility according to Bloom, who told Howard Stern in a resurfaced 2019 interview that he actually auditioned for the iconic role of Christian in director Baz Luhrmann’s Oscar-winning film six times. “I thought that was going to be the one that was going to go my way just before ‘Lord of the Rings,’” Bloom said, adding that the “Moulin” audition was “around the same sort of time” as his “Rings” audition.
” Bloom got his big break after all when he landed the role of Legolas, a heroic Elf gifted in archery, in Peter Jackson’s 2001 film “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.” The movie was the first in the “Rings” trilogy, based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s famed books. Bloom went on to play Legolas in 2002’s sequel “The Two Towers” and in the epic finale “The Return of the King” in 2003.
