Orlando Bloom says he's 'an Irishman at heart' as stuns pub singing Irish ballad
Hollywood A-Lister Orlando Bloom has revealed he's 'an Irishman at heart'.
And the Pirates of the Caribbean star shares the real reason he ended up singing traditional Irish songs in a Windsor pub on St Patrick's Day.
In March 2023, the 48-year-old shocked punters in London when he sang Irish folk tune She Moved Through The Fair in the Alma pub in Windsor.
Speaking to Capital Breakfast with Jordan North, Chris Stark – who was there that night - and Sian Welby to talk all about his new movie 'Deep Cover!', Orlando revealed his Irish connections.
He said: 'I grew up next to an Irish family who are amazing and are really like my family and took me in… I'm an Irishman at heart. Actually, I'm more Irish than anything else.'
He told how he was in a Windsor pub on St Patrick's Day with his pal, Craig McEvoy from Juice Of The Barley.
'So, I grew up next to an Irish family who are amazing and are really like my family and took me in. But Craig, the oldest son, sings in this Irish band.
'An amazing band. Anyway, I was visiting the family because the father had passed. Anyway, we had an amazing night celebrating him in the Irish way on Saint Paddy's Day. And Craig was like 'get up there and sing.' So, I got up and started belting some Irish diddy out.
'See I'm an Irishman at heart! Actually, I'm more Irish than anything else.
'That is how you do Paddy's Day in Windsor, by the way,' he said laughing.

US tourists flock to Dublin for US country music star Zach Bryan's gigs amid surge in North American visitors
The Oklahoma singer-songwriter will play three concerts at Dublin's Phoenix Park from June 20-22 with a predicted attendance of over 180,000. The gigs have delivered bumper bookings for Dublin hotels while pubs and restaurants are set to enjoy a surge in business over the next 10 days. It is predicted that up to 10,000 US fans will visit Ireland, with the concerts a key reason for their holiday here. Dublin tourism will savour its biggest boost since the Garth Brooks concerts of 2022 as, unlike rock acts such as Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift and Coldplay, the majority of ticket sales for country artists are outside the capital region. Only 12pc of ticket sales for the Bryan concerts were in the Dublin area – with huge ticket demand in Connacht, Ulster, the UK and North America. Bryan has enjoyed a stratospheric rise to stardom and will play here just two years after performing to 1,900 fans at The Helix in Dublin. The concerts take place as Ireland is savouring a big recovery in US tourist numbers. Latest figures from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) revealed that one in five foreign holidaymakers who visited Ireland in April were from the US. That represented a significant increase in North American visitor numbers compared with March. While the figure (18pc) was down 1pc compared with the same period last year, it represented an 8pc hike compared with the number of US holidaymakers recorded in April 2023. The UK remains Ireland's biggest tourism market with four in every 10 visitors coming from England, Scotland or Wales. The Irish Tourism Industry Confederation (ITIC) said the sector faces multiple challenges ranging from constrained airline seat capacity, global instability, the potential impact of Donald Trump's 'America First' strategy and economic issues on core visitor markets including the UK and Germany. Irish tourism is expected to deliver revenue growth of between 5pc and 7pc, but growth in the overall number of visitors is expected to slip to its lowest rate for years. The European Travel Commission (ETA) has predicted average tourism growth across the 27 member states will exceed 8pc. ADVERTISEMENT However, the ITIC predicted that Ireland will fall behind the EU average – potentially peaking at 5pc growth. Tourism Ireland estimated that the economy received a €7bn boost from tourism last year. Over 300,000 jobs are supported by overseas tourism, with Tourism Ireland aiming to boost the value of the sector to €9bn by 2030. Tourism revenue growth has been boosted by the fact that inflation has eased and Ireland will be able to offer better value for money in accommodation terms thanks to over 7,000 new hotel rooms being delivered by the construction sector. A significant number of hotel and guest house rooms will also be returned to tourism use as refugees are allocated alternative accommodation. Leading hoteliers said 2024 was a good year and this season was expected to deliver further growth. InterContinental Dublin general manager Nicky Logue said US business was strong while UK trade was down on previous years. 'Last year was a very strong year and, bar any great shocks, I predict the same in 2025, albeit with a lot of pressure on the bottom line with increasing costs of doing business,' Mr Logue said. 'Thankfully we performed well year-on-year due to strong group business from the US in particular and rugby. Ireland and Slovenia are the only two European countries where airline seat capacity will decline in 2025 'Leisure business remains strong from the US, but the UK market is definitely not as strong as it has been in years gone by. Corporate business remains challenging with people travelling less and many still working from home a couple of days a week.' Tourism groups said the main 'handbrake on growth' is the passenger cap at Dublin Airport. Ireland and Slovenia are the only two European countries where airline seat capacity will decline in 2025. In Ireland, seat capacity will fall by 3.3pc. That contrasts with countries like the UK (+3.9pc), France (7.1pc), Spain (+8.1pc), Italy (+6.1pc) and Denmark (+8.3pc). An ITIC spokesperson said: 'With 70pc of the Irish tourism economy dependent on international visitation, it is vital that the main gateway into the country has headroom to grow. 'Although there is a court ruling to put a 'stay' on the cap for next summer, the issue of restrictions at Dublin growth is as pertinent as ever. 'This manifested itself last winter in air access into the country being down 3pc – the only top-20 European destination showing a decline. 'Growth at Shannon and Cork Airports must be facilitated, but this will not compensate for lost business at Dublin.' From January 1 to October 31 last year, Ireland welcomed 5.79 million visitors which was an 8pc increase compared with the same period in 2023. Those visitors spent €5.38bn, an increase of 15pc compared with the same period in 2023. However, Ireland experienced a 5pc decline last October in overseas visitor numbers compared to the previous year – a decline largely triggered by a fall in UK visitors.

‘I was seen as a terrible actress thanks to Pirates of the Caribbean,' Keira Knightley says of films that propelled her to stardom
The British star played Elizabeth Swann, the love interest of Orlando Bloom's Will Turner, in three of the swashbuckling adventure films from 2003 to 2007. The pair returned for a cameo in the 2017 sequel Dead Men Tell No Tales. While the franchise made a global star of Knightley, the Atonement actor said in 2024 that it wasn't all fun and games starring in the films, as she felt the franchise was simultaneously 'making and breaking' her. Knightley has now said the films, which starred Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow, led to many believing her to be a bad actor. In a new Vanity Fair interview alongside Rosamund Pike, reflecting on their role in Joe Wright's 2005 film Pride & Prejudice, Knightley said: 'Pirates of the Caribbean had already come out, but I think in the public consciousness, I was seen as a terrible actress. 'I had this phenomenally big success with Pirates and I think Pride & Prejudice was the first one that was a phenomenally big success but was also critically acclaimed.' Knightley continued: 'I remember it coming out maybe the same year, maybe around the same time, as Pirates two – and I got the worst reviews ever for that. Then also being nominated for an Oscar at the same time, it was, in my 21-year-old head, quite confusing.' The second film, Dead Man's Chest, was released in July 2006, months after Knightley received her first Best Actress Oscar nomination for playing Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen adaptation Pride & Prejudice. Last year, Knightley said of the Pirates franchise, which has grossed more than $1bn at the global box office: 'They were the most successful films I'll ever be a part of and they were the reason that I was taken down publicly. So they're a very confused place in my head.' Addressing Knightley's comments earlier this year, Bloom told Entertainment Weekly: 'I definitely understand where Keira was coming from, and she does wonderful things [in the films]. Bloom said that he has 'a lot of positive takeaways' from his time starring in the blockbusters. He continued: 'It was such a huge moment in time that it feels almost like another lifetime now. But it certainly was unique and, you know, I'm always grateful.' A sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film is in the works, with producer Jerry Bruckheimer appearing to confirm in 2024 that lead star Johnny Depp would not be involved. The producer, whose sequel Top Gun: Maverick had huge box office success in 2022, told 'With Top Gun, you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant [Tom Cruise]. But we're gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don't have to wait for certain actors.' The possibility of Depp returning to the Pirates franchise was the subject of testimony during his defamation trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. Depp was asked by Heard's lawyer: 'If Disney came to you with $300m and a million alpacas, nothing on this earth would get you to go back and work with Disney on a Pirates of the Caribbean film?' 'That is true,' Depp answered.

An 18th-century Louis XV Cartel clock and matching barometer by Julian Le Roy. Lots like these do not come cheap, but this sale of fine art, antique furniture, silver, miniatures, decorative objects and religious artefacts sourced from private estates and collectors across Ireland offers a diverse collection to suit every taste and budget. Estimates are from €30 and €40 up for lots, including a figure of Buddha and carved ebony elephants (€60-€80), a pair of Birmingham silver pillar candlesticks (€100-€150) and an Edwardian dinner gong with horn supports (€80-€120). More than 1,000 lots will come under the hammer. The Irish giltwood side table and mirror by Arthur Jones, featured here last Saturday, is at €15,000-€20,000 among the most expensively estimated items. The oversized slope-front desk used by Oscar Wilde. Inset, a photo of the author, poet and playwright. There will be literary interest in a large William IV slope-top davenport attributed to Gillows with provenance to Oscar Wilde (€6,000-€8,000). Like many items at Wilde's house at Tite Street in Chelsea, it was quietly removed by friends who offered financial support and safeguarding of personal items before the court ordered auction of his possessions after his trial and imprisonment in 1895. The artist Mortimer Menpes, godfather to Wilde's son Vyvyan, took this desk and a French bateau bed exhibited at the Paris World Fair in 1878. The bed, also in this sale, is estimated at €3,000-€4,000. 'Fishermen by a River at Sunset' attributed to John Butts (c1728-1765). A c1740 oil on canvas, Fishermen on a River at Sunset, is attributed to John Butts (€4,000-€6,000), the artist who started his career in Cork and was influenced by Claude Lorrain and Salvator Rosa. In a catalogue note Dr. Peter Murray explains that the attribution of this Claudean landscape to Butts is based both on the subject matter and the style of painting. A 19th-century French gold brocade royal blue carriage bag owned by Queen Maria Amalia. A 19th-century French royal blue gold brocade carriage bag with coronet and trestle design was owned by the French Queen, Maria Amalia of Naples and Sicily (1782-1866), who was married to Louis Philippe I. Maria Amalia, niece of Marie-Antoinette, was the last Queen of France. Gifted to the Ursuline sisters, it comes to the auction by direct descent and is estimated at €800-€1,000. A fine specimen of the elk horns and skull of the gigantic Irish deer with 14 points and spanning 98 inches is reputed to have been found in the Bog of Allen. It is estimated at €10,000-€15,000. Viewing for this brimful-of-interest and treasure-filled sale gets underway in Castlecomer tomorrow at 1.30pm, and the catalogue is online.
