Orlando Bloom has been told to wear fake chest hair in order to look "more manly" for an upcoming film role, Teen Hollywood reports today.
Ridley Scott, director of new Crusades epic Kingdom of Heaven, believes that the star needs to cover his hairless chest to look more convincing as a hero.
The actor has also spent plenty of time in the gym "building up" for the part but has ruled out binge eating to gain weight. "I could do that, but it would be the wrong sort of weight gain," he said. "And I imagine I wouldn't feel that great."
