Our Guy of the Month Orlando Bloom Talks His Son Flynn, the Last Hobbit Movie, and More

Long silver hair and cloaks don't typically come across as sexy, but on Orlando Bloom? Sorry, they just are. The newly single Brit, 37—who starred in a stage version of Romeo and Juliet last year and whose final installment of The Hobbit is in theaters December 17—talked to Glamour about his current main squeeze: four-year-old son Flynn. GLAMOUR: There's no getting around it: You're a tabloid favorite. But it seems like you escaped the paparazzi while filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit series in New Zealand. ORLANDO BLOOM: That was one of the things I loved about being in New Zealand. But in the U.S. I tend to keep my hat on and my eyes down. GLAMOUR: Does Flynn travel with you while you're overseas filming? OB: Yeah, he was on set for a while [in New Zealand]. Hopefully, travel broadens the horizons. I want to have an impact on my son. The most important thing in my life is to nurture, respect, and grow that relationship. I have a great relationship with his mum [model Miranda Kerr]. We're very lucky that we're great coparents. GLAMOUR: Now that you can toss the elf ears, what's up

GLAMOUR: There's no getting around it: You're a tabloid favorite. But it seems like you escaped the paparazzi while filming the Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Hobbit series in New Zealand.

ORLANDO BLOOM: That was one of the things I loved about being in New Zealand. But in the U.S. I tend to keep my hat on and my eyes down.

GLAMOUR: Does Flynn travel with you while you're overseas filming?

OB: Yeah, he was on set for a while [in New Zealand]. Hopefully, travel broadens the horizons. I want to have an impact on my son. The most important thing in my life is to nurture, respect, and grow that relationship. I have a great relationship with his mum [model Miranda Kerr].

We're very lucky that we're great coparents.

GLAMOUR: Now that you can toss the elf ears, what's up next for you?

OB: I'd love to return to theater. [Flynn] is based in Los Angeles, so I've thought about doing something there.

GLAMOUR: Will you miss the sword fights?

OB: I'll still sword-fight, but it'll be with my son on the beach, in fields—wherever!

GLAMOUR: If you hadn't become an actor, what do you think you'd be doing?

OB: I would have done something with my hands. Sculpture was my thing, and I was very passionate about documentary photography too. I still like to walk around and take photographs, but it's hard to do that if a lot of people are looking at you.
