The annual Comic Con event in Liverpool was a huge hit this year, with fans from all over flocking to see their favorite Hollywood stars. But one celebrity, in particular, stole the show and made everyone's day - the one and only Orlando Bloom. Known for his iconic roles as Legolas in Lord of the Rings and Will Turner in Pirates of the Caribbean, the 47-year-old actor was the headline guest at the 2024 Liverpool Comic Con and caused quite a stir among attendees.
As soon as the news of Orlando's appearance broke, a massive queue formed at ACC Liverpool as fans eagerly waited for their chance to meet the Hollywood heartthrob. The excitement was palpable as people lined up for a chance to take a selfie with the star. And it's no surprise that mass hysteria ensued - after all, it's not every day that you get to meet a film icon in person.
The convention, which welcomes prominent names from film, animation, TV, comics, and more, was buzzing with energy as fans eagerly awaited their chance to interact with their favorite stars in face-to-face interactions and panels. And for two superfans, Rebecca and Ellie, both 23, from Halifax, meeting Orlando in the flesh was a dream come true. They couldn't contain their nerves as they approached him, but were pleasantly surprised by how down-to-earth and friendly he was. "We are huge fans, so it was really great to meet him," Ellie gushed.
Another fan, Megan, 25, from North Wales, even brought along a drawing she had done of Orlando, which took her a whopping 30 hours to complete. And her dedication paid off when the actor took the time to admire her work and even posed for a picture with it. "I'm still not over it," Megan exclaimed, "it's just amazing to meet someone like him."
But it wasn't just the fans who were impressed by Orlando. The actor himself was taken aback by the amazing costumes and dedication of his fans. Benjamin, 28, and Jess, 26, from Manchester, arrived dressed as hobbits and Orlando couldn't help but appreciate their effort. "He was very friendly," Benjamin shared, "and he loved seeing us in our outfits. A really nice guy as well, he just loved seeing everyone dressed up."
Meeting Orlando may have come at a price - tickets were £175 - but for fans, it was a small price to pay for the chance to meet their favorite actor. And Orlando wasn't the only star in attendance - Elijah Wood, John Cleese, and Andy Serkis were just a few of the other celebrities present at the convention.
But the excitement didn't just end at the convention for fans. The night before, a mini Lord of the Rings reunion took place as Orlando, Elijah, Dominic Monaghan, and Billy Boyd were spotted enjoying dinner together in Liverpool. The iconic foursome even raised shot glasses in a picture shared by Dominic on Instagram, much to the delight of fans.
And Elijah himself couldn't contain his excitement for the upcoming Comic Con event. In a video message, he expressed his thrill at the "massive reunion" that was about to take place and couldn't wait to see his "fellow hobbit friends and other folks from Middle Earth" at the convention.
It's safe to say that Orlando Bloom made quite an impact at this year's Comic Con and left fans starstruck and with unforgettable memories.
