Don’t mess with Orlando Bloom! The story of how the Carnival Row star retrieved his items stolen by the infamous Bling Ring is almost as wild as the robberies themselves.
On Thursday, February 16, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 46, revealed on The Late Late Show With James Corden the tale of how he wore a wire in order to take back his collection of watches stolen by the group in the early 2000s.
From 2008 to 2009, the group — made up of Alexis Neiers, Rachel Lee, Nick Prugo, Courtney Ames and Diana Tamayo — stole over $3 million in designer goodies and cash from a slew of celebs, including Bloom, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and more. Among Bloom’s stolen items was a collection of expensive watches, one for each new film he makes.
On Thursday, Bloom told host James Corden and fellow guest Niall Horan that we was contacted about the whereabouts of his jewelry three months after his 2009 robbery.
“I got a phone call from a guy who I’d actually bought some of the watches from, saying, ‘I think your watches are surfacing,’” Bloom, who was in a relationship with ex-wife Miranda Kerr at the time of the robbery, recalled. “And I was like, ‘What?’ So, I go and meet the guy, and he goes, ‘I think you could probably get them back if you wanna.’”
The Lord of the Rings star set out to do just that — and channeled his inner spy to do so.
“I finally get the number of this guy. I’m calling this guy for maybe three to six months,” Bloom shared. “Eventually, I find out where he’s from. It’s a pawn shop, down in The Valley, kind of thing. I just rocked up to his shop one day and I wired myself. I had a little microphone.”
But things became more complicated upon meeting the man at the

Carolyn McCall, CEO of U.K. media conglomerate ITV, doesn’t have her own office. Instead, on the open-plan top floor of ITV’s West London headquarters, she shares a desk with her executive assistant and her chief of staff. Right now, she’s sitting in a communal alcove around the corner while employees bustle past. It’s par for the course for a woman who “always wanted to be the visible leader,” as Alan Rusbridger, her former colleague at The Guardian, says. McCall, who is being recognized as Variety’s International Media Woman of the Year in honor of International Women’s Day on March 8, has made a habit of taking on the top job in the toughest of circumstances. She became chief executive at Guardian Media Group in 2006, just as the internet was blowing up the newspaper industry. Four years later, McCall joined budget airline EasyJet as CEO, then steered the multinational company through Britain’s departure from the European Union. In 2018, just as linear television was coming under assault from global streamers and social media companies, she moved to U.K.-based broadcaster and producer ITV.

The title says it all. Just like Snakes On A Plane was about just that, the new horror comedy Cocaine Bear is about a 500 pound bear on a jihad after coming upon a ton of cocaine dropped into rural Georgia on a drug run gone wrong. The bear ingests the coke and soon you have a beast roaring out of control devouring whatever human comes on to his path. It is all not to be taken seriously, but fortunately director Elizabeth Banks (Charlie’s Angels, Pitch Perfect 2) is smart enough to give audiences hungry for a ‘Jaws’ in the wilderness, some nice scares mixed in with the laughs plus a bit more bang for their buck than just a marketable title.
