I read this in the Sunday Times and thought this is a brilliant parody of a self-obsessed, clueless actor, pumped full of New Age crap, spouting self-help bullshit, and blissfully unaware of his own idiocy. I assumed it was by Craig Brown. Turns out it’s a genuine interview with Orlando Bloom. :dunce:

"Blissfully unaware of his own idiocy" Hello Mr pot, meet Mr Kettle. But then in the first paragraph " it's all quite LA really" which kind of undermines his lack of self awareness.

But full marks to you for resisting the urge to call him woke

I try to avoid it. It’s become as meaningless a term as alt-right. It doesn’t really apply here anyway, but I liked it when he listed himself, minorities and women as deserving cases in need of a voice, presumably in that order.

It’s funny.

But serious answer. It’s a shame we have a tendency to point and ridicule people who go against convention, or the herd, with actions, or when they’re expressing original thoughts.

If he’s genuine, more power to him.

I always wonder “chicken and egg” when I read this type of thing.

Was he like this before he had enough wealth to play “choose your own lifestyle”? Or is he enabled in being like this because the only people around him are people that either make money off him, and so indulge him, or have similar levels of wealth and privilege and so are on similar paths.

I was listening to Linkin Park last night and reading about on Chester Benningtons life and ultimately his suicide. Was the singer for Stone Temple Pilots too. He was a very talented and tortured soul.

Where has society gone to when someone speaks out about a healthy lifestyle and gets attacked for it.?

Its not as if the OP is highlighting a piece written by Jimmy Saville or Gary Glitter or the Yorkshire Ripper is it? :eek:
