Step into Orlando Bloom's shoes
Exclusive by Gerry Warren
A sought-after film poster of
Lord of the Rings signed by the whole cast is among memorabilia and
other personal belongings of Canterbury-born star Orlando Bloom,
which are being auctioned off in the city for local charities.
They are being sold by his mother
Sonia Copeland-Bloom, who is having a clear-out in preparation for
moving out of her city centre home.
Among the more interesting items of
clothing is a Bodyline wet suit which Orlando wore while surfing
with the Hobbits in New Zealand, in between filming the Lord of the
Rings trilogy.
Other desirable objects include a
Lord of the Rings poster signed by the Hobbits, boots Orlando wore
while filming Lord of the Rings and Moroccan slippers he wore in
Kingdom of Heaven.
Mrs Copeland-Bloom said: "I have
spoken to Orlando who is quite happy for me to get as much as I can
for charity. There are some real collectors’ items among them and
they will all be authenticated by me by letter.
"We are inviting people to send us
bids of which the top ones will be invited to view the items before
submitting a further sealed bid.
"They should be sent to my
secretary, Jo Walker, at 6 St Alphege Lane, Canterbury, CT1 2EB or
emailed to scjc1@btinternet.com"
