Orlando: "I was fat"

Orlando Bloom has revealed that he was not always the heart-throb that he is today.

A skiing accident led to the teenage Bloom being stranded at home with a broken leg with eating as one of his only forms of entertainment.

He told New Woman magazine: "When I was nine I broke my leg skiing and had to wear a cast for a year.

"I sat at home, really depressed and ate biscuits and chocolate. I didn't get back up to speed with sport until I was 16.

"I was fat."
