Orlando Bloom

Refused Coppola's Bling Ring cameo
Actor Orlando Bloom snubbed the chance to make a cameo appearance in Sofia Coppola's new film The Bling Ring because the plot felt "too close to home". Coppola's movie tells the story of a group of thieves who snatched more than 1.9million pounds worth of items from properties belonging to Hollywood stars such as Bloom, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Rachel Bilson, reported a tabloid. Hilton has a cameo role in the film, but the Pirates of the Caribbean actor reveals he turned down the chance to appear in the project.

"Sofia Coppola is wonderful and I'd love to work with her. She asked me to cameo in the movie but I said it was too close to home for me to want to be involved," he said.
