Orlando Bloom: Legolas Ditches his Horse for a Bike

Orlando Bloom is one more American actor to join the motorcycle gang. If he looks familiar, that’s because he played the archer-elf Legolas in “The Lord of The Rings” franchise. And if you’ve got “The Pirates of the Caribbean” among your credits, you can afford hobbies like motorbike riding.

Bloom’s choice of a two-wheeler is a custom BMW S 1000 R. The model is known for delivering pure power, with the base model selling for $14K. Interestingly, he’s been spotted in LA taking his dog, Mighty, on rides. The teacup poodle is carried along in a drawstring bag while dad revs up the engine.
