Orlando Bloom

In the meantime, he wears the matinee-idol mantle with a surprising degree of grace and class. During the course of this interview, he pauses repeatedly to sign autographs, to rub a pregnant woman's belly and--please, no more!--to help an old man whose electric wheelchair has broken down. "Oh God," Bloom groans, "I seem like such a wanker." No. To millions of teenage girls, Bloom seems like a slightlysubversive Eagle Scout, the boy next door with supernatural bone structure. Unless this guy starts drowning puppies soon, he'd better get used to the screaming.
