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.
