Why do girls like Orlando Bloom when he is such a pussy? (Troy movie spoiler)

[Anonymous]

Orlando Bloom is a total wussy. In the movie Troy, he played a total wimp. Troy is the perfect example of how much of a wuss OB is. I honestly got pissed off when he shot an arrow into Achilles foot causing Achilles to die, I got up and cursed at the TV screen because I f***ing hate Orlando Bloom; that skinny, girlie actor with a rectangle jaw makes me cringe and I want to toss a huge boulder at the TV screen every time I see him. Yes, I do understand the movie is an adaptation of the story, but nonetheless I hate Orlando Bloom. I had lots of respect for Achilles (Brad Pitt) and thought he was a pimp, seeing Achilles die because of a low blow just pissed me off. Orlando Bloom is a total lie, this question is the truth.

Jealous much? I think you need to find some way to deal with your insecurities. Wanting to throw rocks at your TV screen is a little extreme. And just because you think he's a "wuss"? Do you feel threatened that girls like a guy who is different from how you see yourself?

I don't understand why you would have such an extreme reaction to this. Give the guy a break. He's just an actor playing a part, it doesn't mean he's a wise in real life. And if he is, so what? Does it really hurt YOU in any way?

I have to admit that I'm NOT actually particularly attracted to Orlando Bloom. But there's nothing WRONG with him. The reason I'm not that attracted to him has nothing to do with him being wimpy. Not all girls want tough guys, sensitive can be good- but that's not the point, because I've seen no indication that he is actually wimpy in real life.

Anyways, nothing is less attractive to me personally than a guy who wants to throw rocks at his TV screen when he sees an actor he doesn't like. Get a handle on your emotions, buddy.

P.S. I have never seen that version of the movie nor do I know the story well. But you can't blame the actor for what the script asks him to do.

[Asker]

Yea, I do have a handle on my emotions, I'm sure there are actresses that you absolutely despise, doesn't mean I'm going to call you insecure for it. I just don't like Orlando Bloom and I am entitled to my own opinion whether I use tact in presenting my opinion on Gag, or like to toss in a sense of humor you might confuse for anger.

[Opinion Owner]

No, there really aren't any actresses that I despise. There are many that I don't admire, but none that I despise. I don't know enough about them, or CARE enough about them for that matter, to actually despise any actresses OR actors. Until someone starts a war, supports child trafficking, AND murders kittens I will never feel like throwing rocks at my TV screen when their picture appears on it. Also, you have serious issues with communicating humor.

[Asker]

Obviously you don't understand figure of speech. You are the type where if I said "a million people went to this one night club" you'd be like 'There was no way in hell there was a million people, more like 152." OF COURSE IM NOT GOING TO TOSS ROCKS AT MY TV SCREEN you dumb whore, I'd have to buy a new one then. And good for you for not despising any actresses or actors, doesn't mean you can despise someone else for despising an actor, because actor or not, that's hypocrisy..

[Opinion Owner]

Wow, thank you for calling me a dumb whore. Look, I can recognize common exaggerations like "a million people were at this club". I'm not a complete idiot. And of course I know you would not actually throw rocks at your TV screen. I know that you used it as a figure of speech, and I used it as a figure of speech as well. But the rest of your question indicates that you really do have pretty strong feelings of dislike for Orlando Bloom. Or is "I f***ing hate Orlando Bloom" just a humorous

[Opinion Owner]

exaggeration as well? If that's your idea of obvious sarcasm, you're the dumb one here. Now I am done commenting but I just think your reaction to some guy you've never even met who hasn't done anything all that bad is a little extreme. It's not a crime to be a wimp (if that's even what he is). You're entitled to your opinion, but putting people down won't do anythingto help you. Have a nice day!

[Asker]

Unless you can see how I would say what I wrote, like tone of voice or facial expression, you have no accuracy in trying to predict just how "angry" I am when I say I hate f***ing Orlando Bloom. Now be a good little girl and just take every question you see on here with a pinch of salt because this is f***ing GirlsAskGuys not some f***ing picketing session organized by some grass roots organization. So, at the end of the day, OB is a p**** and liking him just adds to the irrationality of women

[Opinion Owner]

a. I never even used the word "angry". b. What did you think, I was losing sleep over your not liking Orlando Bloom? Hardly. But if you're allowed to express your opinions, even calling people names and throwing swear words around, then so am I.

[Asker]

honestly, you continuing to post on this wall is making me feel like you are losing sleep over the fact that Orlando Bloom is a p**** wussy and that I admitted the truth on this website. And thanks for admitting I have a right to my own opinion, which means that you should have never replied to this question in the first place. but then again that's your opinion, which I agree you are entitled to, but me responding to you is letting you know I don't give a f*** about your damn opinion

[Opinion Owner]

And you're also continuing to post, way to be hypocritical. If you don want to talk about it anymore, no one is forcing you to. You asked a question, I gave my opinion. I don't love Orlando Bloom, but I think swearing about it is uncalled for. But if you feel that strongly about it, whatever floats your boat.

[Anonymous]

lol you do know that the movie is based on a story written long before orlando was born, right? I don't see how the movie says anything about him. he's an actor. he acts out roles. lol you sound like an irrational person...

So you would admire a "pimp" over a guy who sacrifices everything for someone he loves? Hmm. Okay. I guess that's a matter of opinion. Not that I did or didn't like Achilles, but I'm just saying. You have your own tastes.

Why do you hate orlando so much? What has he done to p*ss you off other than act ? lol

I'm neutral to Orlando. I don't know much about his personal life, and he doesn't affect my life enough for me to post a question about how strongly I feel about him. He's just another celebrity. He's hot, I'd definitely tap that, and I love his accent. That's about all I have to say about him. Oh and I noticed he wasn't in the new Pirates movie.

[Asker]

this is what I wrote earlier to someone elses post He is a wussy looking guy which is why I think he played the part perfectly, I think he was chosen perfectly for the part because he is so irritating and so is his character. It's like, he's so good playing the role that he is so bad, its very hard to explain, its like hating his character but liking the fact he was chosen for the script. Its irony at its best

[Opinion Owner]

do you have something against "wussy" looking guys? you seem to like using that as an insult?

[Asker]

someday I'll start a business that un wussifies guys so that all you ladies don't have to keep utilizing girlaskguys in an effort to understand that the guy that's not initiating to you is a wuss and you need to move on to non wusses.

[Opinion Owner]

I like wusses if Orlando's a wuss. What's the opposite of wuss? And define wuss please for that matter lol not all girls like the same types so we need variety just like guys :)

[-StillWater-]

HAHAHA He is one of the ugliest celebrities I've had the displeasure of seeing in a movie.

He IS a pussy! And he's so small and skinny...he's got that idiotic looking goatee, (playing the role od Johnny Depp - when we all know that what Depp can pull off, no one else can)...

Please...he's a self obsessed, narcissistic prick.

[d_chaney]

I’m with you there are a few actors like that with me too. OB is one of them I’m trying to watch Kingdom of Heaven and he’s some supposed knight tough guy and I just can get over him in Troy. Robert DeNiro is kind of like that to me now as well after knowing how he really is this soft dude I can’t watch him as a “gangster” anymore. Tom Cruise same thing. Brad Pitt is bad ass as well as Tom Hardy, Jason Statham...

[sikoo31]

i think you might have some insecurities you need to deal with man.

and what you see as a wussy, most girls see as cute and sweet, loving, caring. most girls really like that. they don't like violent assholes.

[Asker]

Okay Dr. Phil, I think you lack etiquette saying people have insecurities, better yet, I think you just looked at what the girls on here wrote and regurgitated it so you can look good to all the girls on here. I'm sure you got actors or actresses you just can't stand, but I'm not going to sit here and do some psychological analysis on you, if you posted this and not me I'd probably comment on it light-heartedly, because half the reason I posted it was for entertainment purposes.

[sikoo31]

no, I answered before there were even any other answers. i don't really like any actors but its not for reasons like yours. I just don't like attention whores, and that's what all famous people are.

[dryad]

I don't know why you liked Achilles in that movie since he was cruel and abusive. The Trojans should've killed him sooner, such as when he approached their walls all by himself. To hell with honor, they should've barraged him with arrows right then and there, get rid of that bastard when it's easy.

[tohrment]

Agreed. And the Trojans allowed them to clean up their dead but Achilles drags Hector's body around by the carriage? Where's the honour in that?

[dryad]

Exactly. I hated Achilles for doing that to Hector, yet it was just one other thing Achilles was infamous for throughout the movie.

[Asker]

And are we going to bypass the fact that Orlando Bloom's character still's someone Else's wife? And agrees to have thousands of men killed over it? Where is the honor in that?

[Asker]

I meant steal not still, I'm commenting that before someone uses my misspelling as a retort

[dryad]

Well I don't know if that's how I'd label it, remembering how unhappy she was (I think her father was going to force her to marry is part of the reason she agreed to leave home). From a man's point of view, yes that would be dishonor, but I remember it being more than just for a woman Troy was being invaded. Though I was questioning Achilles honor right now, not so much Orlando's.

[tohrment]

Ummm... Achilles was a barbaric, arrogant, narcissist. You could have at least used Hector to compare him to.

And who cares about Orlando Bloom as Paris. As Legolas he is f***ing hot.

[Asker]

Achilles is a bad ass, he also kicks Hector's ass and I loved seeing Hector die and dragged across the ground, if you are going to be Arrogant, at least back it up, Achilles f***ing destroyed him, I laughed my ass off. The best quote in the movie You gave him the honor of your sword. You won't have eyes tonight; you won't have ears or a tongue. You will wander the underworld blind, deaf, and dumb, and all the dead will know: This is Hector. The fool who thought he killed Achilles.

[tohrment]

Achilles has no sense of honour. His only redeeming quality was his love for Briseis. Any guy who idolises Achilles is obviously a few fries short of a happy meal.

[Asker]

and a few fries short means less calories and better for your heart. orlando bloom's character created war out of infidelity, achilles went back in to burning fire to find Briseis during a war OB's love affair started, he went back in for her, then gay ass OB shot him to death because if he hadn't he knew that Achilles could kick his ass just like Hector

[tohrment]

I never claimed Paris was particularly courageous. I agree that throwing away everything for a woman was a stupid and selfish choice, especially when it's not you who suffers the consequences. BUT Achilles is a tool.. Anyway, Legolas is the sh*t. He trumps Paris by X1000

[Lupianwolf]

Has coward and wimp guy gone on to men now?

[Asker]

What the hell does this comment even mean?

[slipslender]

lolol. Menelaus may be a coward...but Orlando is just the actor portraying that character...and I actually really admire him. As a kid, he used to be extremely overweight, but he worked through it, lost the weight, and look at where he is now. :)

[slipslender]

sh*t. PARIS. not Menelaus :p

[Asker]

He is a wussy looking guy which is why I think he played the part perfectly, I think he was chosen perfectly for the part because he is so irritating and so is his character. It's like, he's so good playing the role that he is so bad, its very hard to explain, its like hating his character but liking the fact he was chosen for the script. Its irony at its best
