London, UK – Another hollywood star Orlando Bloom is to become a Buddhist. The Lord of the rings star, 27, took part in an hour long Mahayana ceremony at the Buddhist center in Maidehead, Berkshire.
A visitor was cited: “He looked really happy. He looked comfortable and quite excited”. Orlando, who played elf Legolas in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, has never publicly spoken about his religious faith but has often been seen clutching Buddhist prayer beads.
