ORLANDO BLOOM

Orlando Bloom is a bit of a tricky one to make it onto this list. The actor got his big break playing Legolas in the The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Since then, he has appeared on Broadway and in a slew of films like:The Pirates of the Caribbean, Elizabethtown, and Troy. Up until about the age of thirteen, the actor believed he was part South African. His mother had told him his father was her late husband, the famous South African author Harry Saul Bloom. However, it was later revealed that his biological father was her English partner Colin Stone.
