Star gazing: Orlando Bloom: He lets the dogs out ...

Sunday Mirror, Oct 24, 2004 by Rhiannon Vivian/Deirdre O'Brien

Here's Orlando Bloom showing that his girlfriend (and, if rumours are to be believed, fiancee) Kate Bosworth isn't the only love of his life. The star took his pet pooch walkies in an LA park - much to the delight of other dog-walkers. The pup's one very lucky dog. He met his superstar master while he was filming Ridley Scott's Crusades epic, Kingdom Of Heaven, in Morocco. By the end of filming, Orlando had become so attached to the stray that the lucky hound was whisked away to share his luxurious life in the Hollywood Hills. And to complete the touching tale, Kate also fell in love with a mutt on her visits to the set, and brought him back too.

'Is this your dog?'

'Yeah, thanks for retrieving him... Oh God, you're Orlando Bloom!'

'OK, play it cool, oh my God, you're Orlando Bloom!'

'Oh wow, Orlando Bloom touched my dog - I'm never washing him again'
