Orlando Bloom Started Speaking Elvish in Pirates of the Caribbean

Atom · refreshed Search related

During the first takes of an underwater scene in Pirates of the Caribbean, Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp became so disoriented from low oxygen in the cramped space that Bloom reportedly began speaking Elvish, convinced he was filming Lord of the Rings. The moment is a perfect illustration of how extreme physical conditions can completely collapse an actor's sense of context. Two massive franchises blurred into one inside a single oxygen-starved set.
