He also adds, laughing: "They’re very loyal fans, those teenage girls, I definitely appreciate them!"

The star has been busy shooting the final instalment in the Pirates Of The Caribbean saga, but is looking forward to new challenges.

"I’ve loved working on Pirates," he says. "But I’m looking forward to new projects. When you do a movie that’s so successful, people think that’s all you’ve done."

Orlando and Uma? - Sept 8, 2006
Adding to the rumours that Orlando Bloom has split with his long-term girlfriend Kate Bosworth, eyebrows were raised when the Pirates of the Caribbean star was filmed by a TMZ.com spy, loitering on the set of Uma Thurman’s new commercial for Honda in NYC.

Orlando’s appearance in New York came as a surprise, given that the star is currently in the midst of filming the third instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean almost 3,000 miles away in southern California and has no official projects with Uma in the pipeline.

Uma, 36, has publicly admitted that her relationship with hotelier Andre Balazs, who she was spotted with in Copenhagen just days ago is an "on-and-off" kind of affair, while 29-year-old Orlando, is alleged to have called time on his four-year relationship with super-skinny Kate in recent weeks, according to Entertainment Tonight. Kate was noticeably absent when Orlando made a solo trip to the Teen Choice Awards on August 20 to collect his gong for Choice Hottie.

Last year, Orlando rubbished rumours of a budding romance with his Elizabethtown co-star Kirsten Dunst. While Kirsten also denied the claims, she did go on to say: "There are a lot of charismatic people in this industry... and I can understand why people on location get together."

Still, if Orlando has got another blonde leading lady on his mind, let’s hope he and Kate can remain friends. The pair are due to team up to film the new drama Seasons of Dust later this year.

Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth have sparked wedding rumours - Dec 19, 2005
Orlando Bloom and Kate Bosworth have sparked wedding rumours after they were spotted shopping for engagement rings in London. The smitten couple spent several hours in swanky jewellery shops - Bulgari and Van Cleef & Arpels - before Kate eventually set her heart on a £60,000 diamond.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "They were picking out engagement rings and she was trying them on. "They popped into lots of jewellers on New Bond Street. But they were in Bulgari and Van Cleef & Arpels for the longest period. "They had huge smiles on their faces and were kissing and cuddling. It looks like Kate is about to be Mrs Bloom." The stunning pair met three years ago while filming an advertisement for high street retailer Gap. But their blossoming Hollywood careers had put stress on their relationship and the pair have had an on/off relationship over the past year.

’Pirates of the Caribbean’ star Bloom has been romantically linked to both Kirsten Dunst and Sienna Miller this year. But he and the ’Blue Crush’ actress have been an item again for the last few months and last week made a rare public appearance together at a screening of hit movie ’Annie Hall’ in London.
