Orlando Bloom is reportedly a big fan of ‘The Only Way Is Essex’.
The Hollywood heartthrob bumped into TV star Sam Faiers at a pre-Oscars bash earlier this year, and the blonde beauty was amazed to discover Orlando knew who she was from watching the programme.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Orlando told her he was a huge fan of ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ and started grilling her on the show. Sam was stunned."
Meanwhile, Sam – who left the ‘The Only Way Is Essex’ in 2014 – previously admitted she’s given up her party-loving ways since meeting her boyfriend Paul Knightley and having her first child, a baby boy also called Paul, in December 2015.
She explained: "Paul is so supportive and since meeting him I’ve taken a step back from the usual. I don’t do the party scene anymore and I just do what’s nice.
"That’s my own choice. I’ve enjoyed every second of being a mum because I think this time is so precious. People comment and say you need a night out and I say I’m not ready. It will happen but it’s one of those things, isn’t it?"
Sam, 26, said she hasn’t had time to enjoy a proper night out since she became a mum, revealing she’s instead been restricted to the occasional glass of Prosecco or wine.
She shared: "All mums are different and everyone has different ways of parenting. I had a dinner with the girls but I was home by 11. I haven’t had a night or a proper night out. I’ve had a few glasses of Prosecco or wine with dinner but the baby’s with me all the time so I can’t have more than two."
