The actor played Knightley’s love interest Will Turner in three of the swashbuckling adventure films from 2003 to 2007, with the pair returning as a cameo in 2017 sequel Dead Men Tell No Tales. While the franchise made global stars of both Bloom and Knightley, the British actor said in a recent interview that it wasn’t all fun and games starring in the films as she felt the franchise was simultaneously “making and breaking” her. “I was seen as s*** because of them, and yet because they did so well I was given the opportunity to do the films that I ended up getting Oscar nominations for,” the star of Pride and Prejudice and Atonement told The Times. Bloom has now spoken out about Knightley’s musings on her experience, telling Entertainment Weekly: “I …

Former Orlando Museum Director Aaron De Groft Is Dead at 59

Published by skeptic

Aaron De Groft, the former CEO of the Orlando Museum of Art whose tenure was ultimately defined by a Basquiat forgery scandal, died on January 18 at 59. According to an obituary published on Monday, De Groft died after a brief illness. No further details were provided. De Groft assumed leadership of the Orlando Museum in 2021, following stints at helm of the Muscarelle Museum of Art in Williamsburg, Virginia, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Florida. But his tenure at the Orlando Museum would define his career—especially after the FBI seize a suite of paintings attributed to Jean-Michel Basquiat that were on view at the institution in 2022. Related Articles Those paintings were on display in the show “Heroes & Monsters: Jean-Michel Basquiat.” An FBI affidavit revealed that De Groft was under investigation for the paintings, which were thought to be forgeries. De Groft claimed that the paintings were created around 1982 by Basquiat while he lived and worked with dealer Larry Gagosian in Los Angeles. The affidavit, however, …

The September House by Carissa Orlando

The September House by Carissa Orlando

Published by skeptic

You know that feeling when you walk into an old house and the floorboards creak just so, sending shivers down your spine? That’s the vibe Carissa Orlando captures perfectly in her debut novel, “The September House.” It’s the literary equivalent of tiptoeing through a haunted mansion, heart pounding, never knowing what’s lurking around the next corner. And let me tell you, dear reader, what’s lurking is far more terrifying—and oddly compelling—than you could possibly imagine. The Bones of the Story At its core, “The September House” is about Margaret Hartman, a woman who refuses to give up on her dream home, even when that home starts bleeding from the walls every September. No, seriously. Bleeding walls. And that’s just the appetizer on this menu of horrors. Margaret and her husband Hal thought they’d scored the deal of a lifetime when they snagged a gorgeous Victorian on Hawthorn Street. But as the old saying goes, if it seems too good to be true… well, you know the rest. Soon enough, they’re sharing their space with a …

The 39-year-old singer spoke candidly about the ups and downs of her long-term relationship during Wednesday’s episode of Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast. While the pair got together in 2016, they split in 2017 for about a year before reconciling. According to Perry, that brief time apart was for the better, since she and Bloom were at different places in their lives. “We weren’t really in it from day one,” she said. “He was because he had just done a huge time of celibacy and he had set intentions. I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was like, I can’t do this anymore. I need to …

Orlando Bloom Names 1 Of His Films That He ‘Blanked’ From His Mind

Orlando Bloom Names 1 Of His Films That He ‘Blanked’ From His Mind

Published by skeptic

Between big franchises like Lord Of The Rings and Pirates Of The Caribbean, it’s fair to say that Orlando Bloom has plenty to proud of when it comes to his film career. However, when it comes to one particular film from his oeuvre, the British actor has admitted he has “blanked that from my mind”. In the 2004 historical epic Troy, Orlando appeared as Paris opposite an impressive cast, led by Brad Pitt. And while he’s got nothing against the film itself, the Carnival Row star admitted to Variety that this was not a performance he particularly likes dwelling on. “So many people love that movie, but for me playing that character was just like,” he explained, making a throat-slitting gesture. “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.” Orlando Bloom in 2004’s Troy Alex Bailey/Warner Bros/Kobal/Shutterstock Orlando added: “The movie was great. It was Brad [Pitt]. It was Eric [Bana] and Peter O’Toole. But how am I going to …

The 47-year-old British actor starred in the Brad Pitt-led historical war movie, loosely based on Homer’s Iliad about the epic battles between the two ancient kingdoms of Troy and Sparta. While appearing on Variety’s “Know Your Lines” video series, Bloom was unable to identify one of the quotes said by his character Paris. Instead, he misattributed the line, guessing that it must have been from either 2005’ Kingdom of Heaven or one of his Lord of the Rings movies. After being told the correct answer, Bloom said: “Oh my god, Troy. Wow. I think I just blanked that movie out of my brain by the way.” “So many people love that movie, but for me playing that character was just like [slits throat]. Am I allowed to …
