Orlando Bloom revealed he had a major crush on Cate Blanchett while they were shooting for "Lord of the Rings" back in 2001.
In the "LOTR" series, Bloom played elf Legolas and Blanchett played the elf and meltdown queen Galadriel.
The duo recently appeared together "The Late, Late Show With James Corden" where they discussed their time together on Middle Earth.
"I can't think -- I had such a crush. "Well, Legolas has crush and then I had the biggest crush on you," Bloom said to Blanchett.
To which the "Ocean's 8" star exclaimed, "Well, it was your character!"
And Bloom responded saying, "No, it was me!" which made Blanchett say, "I had no idea!"
"And I was just walking around spying on her from the corner of the room," Bloom said, to which she added, "In a non-creepy way."
