Orlando Bloom Shows Off Physique in Spain Ahead of Film Festival Appearance

Orlando Bloom, 49, was observed displaying his physique while swimming at La Concha Beach in Spain on Thursday. The actor was enjoying a morning dip in black swim shorts.

Bloom is scheduled to present "Bucking Fastard," a new film by director Werner Herzog, at the San Sebastián Festival. Herzog is set to receive the prestigious Donostia Award during the festival's opening gala on Friday night. The festival runs from September 18 to 26.

In "Bucking Fastard," Bloom plays Gareth Mulroney, the onscreen lover of sisters Rooney and Kate Mara, who portray twin sisters. The film, which premiered at the Venice Film Festival, is loosely based on the true story of twins Freda and Greta Chaplin. The Mara sisters, who acted together for the first time in the film, found the experience of playing co-dependent twins to be natural, with Rooney Mara stating that their shared history made the portrayal easier. Kate Mara described their synchronized speaking as musical.

The film is set in Ireland and also features Domhnall Gleeson as a social worker.

Bloom is the father to six-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, with ex-fiancée Katy Perry, and 15-year-old son Flynn, from his marriage to Miranda Kerr. He is reportedly in a relationship with Swiss model Luisa Laemmel.
