Bloom being sued |
|

 |
After starring in two of the last few years' biggest action franchises, The Lord of the Rings trilogy and Pirates of the Caribbean, Orlando Bloom went from a no-name Gap model to one of Hollywood's biggest young stars. At this point, he can barely go to the supermarket without being accosted by a group of screaming young girls. Luckily for Orlando, fortune comes along with all that fame, but unluckily, lawsuits often come with fortune. Orlando's learning that the hard way as his former management agency, The Firm, is suing him for "no less than $660,000" in owed commissions from Bloom's upcoming Pirates sequels. Bloom left the firm in July, but the agency claims that they are owed 10% on all films that were negotiated while he was still with them. Since he signed with the agency in 2002, Bloom allegedly owes The Firm commissions from Elizabethtown, Kingdom of Heaven and Haven in addition to the Pirates films. Bloom has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
