Orlando Bloom has reportedly been lined up to make his Broadway debut playing Romeo in William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The Lord of the Rings actor will relocate to New York for the upcoming production of the classic love story, according to The Sun.

The casting would allow Bloom to spend more time with his wife Miranda Kerr, who is also working in the city, and potentially silence rumours of their marriage troubles. "Both Orlando and Miranda's jobs take them all over the world, so it'll be nice for him to be in one place for a bit," a source commented. "There has been a lot of speculation recently after Miranda was pictured without her wedding ring, but this is a true commitment to spending some quality time together as a family."

Bloom is currently working on South African thriller Zulu and in December will return as Legolas in the first of Peter Jackson's three Hobbit movies An Unexpected Journey.

沪江娱乐快讯：据《太阳报》消息，“精灵王子”奥兰多·布鲁姆（Orlando Bloom）不久后即将首登百老汇舞台，出演经典莎剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》中的罗密欧一角。布鲁姆的太太米兰达·可儿（Miranda Kerr）近期也已赴纽约工作，据报道，剧组会给布鲁姆更多私人时间，好让他排戏之余能与太太过二人世界。这一消息似乎无声地粉碎了之前关于他们婚姻出现问题的传闻。

据知情者称：“他们夫妻俩总是满世界飞来飞去地工作，能在同一个地方待一阵对他来说是件好事。自从前段时间米兰达手上没戴婚戒的消息传得沸沸扬扬，外界有不少关于他们婚姻出现问题的猜测。（虽然传闻并不是真的）但这的确说明他们需要多分点时间给家人。”目前布鲁姆正在南非参与惊悚电影《祖鲁》（Zulu）的拍摄；今年12月上映的《霍比特人：意外旅程》中他将以“精灵王子”的形象重回银屏。
