BiographyFriends and Familysamantha bloom [Sister] :: harry saul bloom [Father] (his father died when he was just three years old)Trivia and QuotesQuotes "Aged nine, I had this girlfriend, and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day. I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her. Once I realised Superman was an actor, I thought, `That`s for me.`" "For a young actor like me to have the oportunity to work with the genre of actors and directors on `Lord Of The Rings` is unbelievable. There was no, should I should I not. It was like, where do I sign up! It was just bonkers. It was like here, have a life." "I broke my back. I fell out of a window... some friends had a roof terrace on the landing before their apartment, and I fell off the drain pipe. It gave way, actually, and I fell three floors. I was told I might not walk again. So, for about four days,I was contemplating that as a serious part of reality. Then they operated, and I walked out of the hospital in about twelve days." "It`s a bit strange to be included in those sexiest people polls and all that sort of thing. I don`t really even know who I`m up against!" "I`m quite sensitive to women. I saw how my sister got treated by boyfriends. I read this thing that said when you are in a relationship with a woman, imagine how you would feel if you were her father. That`s been my approach, for the most part." "I`m rather accident-prone, I have to admit. I`ve broken my back, my ribs, my nose, both my legs, my arm, my wrist, a finger and a toe and cracked my skull three times." "The girls have got a bit excited. I spoke to my agent and she says she`s wading through the fan mail. We`ve got bags of it. I`m like, `OK, well, what do we do with that, then?` And she explains that we`re sending them pictures and stuff, which is great." "Vig used to call me `elf boy,` and I`d call him `filthy human.` As an Elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he`d say to me, `Oh, go manicure your nails.`" "When I`m not working, I prefer to sit and do nothing. The simple things suddenly become more enjoyable". On being in love in general: "I`m in love with love. It`s heavenly when you`re falling for someone and you can`t stop thinking about her."Trivia During the filming for _Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The (2001)_, he fell off his horse and broke one of his ribs.
