Orlando Bloom believes in love

Actor Orlando Bloom says he believes in the idea of love despite his recent split from his wife, model Miranda Kerr.

The 36-year-old, who parted ways from Kerr in October, says featuring in Broadway's "Romeo & Juliet" has made him more romantic, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I'm completely in love with the idea of love. Maybe I'm all misty about it because I'm playing Romeo. But I really believe in, you know, that sort of heart-to-heart connection," Bloom told the January issue of Elle magazine.

Bloom recently shot his first full-frontal nude scene in the upcoming crime film, "Zulu", and found the experience empowering.

"It was quite amusing walking around set and seeing the crew avert their eyes at first. I got so comfortable with it I could brush up behind someone and go, 'Oh, excuse me.'" he said.
