Orlando Bloom Reveals The Movie He Didn't Want To Make
Actor Orlando Bloom has said he didn't want to be in the 2004 movie Troy, in which he played the role of one of the main characters, Paris. Speaking to Variety, Bloom said many people love the film-- which also stars Brad Pitt, Eric Bana, Brian Cox, Sean Bean, Brendan Gleeson, Peter O'Toole, and Diane Kruger--but he doesn't have fond memories of making it.
"For me playing that character was just like [slits throat]. Am I allowed to say all of these things? I didn't want to do the movie. I didn't want to play this character," he said.
Bloom said the movie was great, but he didn't understand how he was supposed to play his character. "It was completely against everything I felt in my being. At one point it says Paris crawls along the floor having been beaten by somebody and holds his brother's leg. I was like, 'I'm not going to be able to do this.' One of my agents at the time said, 'But that’s the moment that will make it!' And I completely fell for that line of an agent."
