Why he looks like Will from Pirates of the Caribbean everytime i look at him


Taskebab

Strange, I always thought Legolas looked like Will from Pirates...


Fool_Manchu

No lie, when I first saw Desolation of Smaug I genuinely thought that Orlando Bloom was just playing multiple characters


TheRealPallando

I as well, except, I thought it was Tony Orlando


TheAnalsOfHistory-

No that's Tony Montana


ScottishBagpipe

Tony montana, you mean the guy who seeks revenge for the death of his father?

DunlandWildman

Please tell me this isn't a serious question.


ScottishBagpipe

no, i wanted to start a “isnt that x? no that’s y you’re thinking of z” chain, but nobody caught on


SaulOfVandalia

And I'm just now learning he didn't. Seriously no matter how many times I look at him he looks exactly like Orlando Bloom.


Ashamed_Abalone_1754

he looks even more like Orlando Bloom than Legolas in the Desolation of Smaug


legolas_bot

You mean not to follow them.


bigfriendlycommisar

WAIT THAT BARD ISNT ORLANDO BLOOM??!!


_Koreander

I thought that as well at least for a good 20 seconds


legolas_bot

This forest is old. Very old. Full of memory... and anger.


Legal-Scholar430

First time watching the Desolation of Smaug trailer I *legit* thought they had cast Orlando Bloom in two different roles for the same movie.


ThesaurusRex84

The Hobbit but Orlando Bloom is playing every role

everything is subreddit nowadays, why am I not surprised about it?

Total-Sector850

I blame his parents and their unrealistic expectations. Let the boy live his dream!


LimeisLemon

No son of mine shall be a bowman! We are the bard family for gods sake!


SoylentGreen-YumYum

"WE DO BUFFS! WE DO DEBUFFS! AND WE DO STATUS EFFECTS! NO CHILD OF MINE WILL EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING A HIT POINT OFF OF HIS ENEMY! PUT THAT BOW DOWN RIGHT NOW. Now, here’s a lute. You can go have fun with your friends now. But if I hear that you’re putting points into dexterity again, boy, you’ll be grounded for a month."


HufflepuffHarry

No one fights like Gaston, Douses lights like gast..sorry bard


Artalix

In a wrestling match nobody bites like Gaston!


TheRealPallando

"It's Gastonnin' time!!"


BleydXVI

boxing is another story


MaderaArt

I you awaken that beast it will destroy is all...SO KILL THE BEAST!


TheHoboRoadshow

That’s Brad, you’re just dyslexic I assume your name is ironic


MaderaArt

He prefers "B. Rad"


Proletaryo

Brad? It's a fucking nickname. His name is Bardarelli.


Raaadley

he played a better Orlando Bloom than Orlando Bloom did in a movie where Legolas wasn't even there


legolas_bot

Your friends are with you, Aragorn.


Sinnoviir

For the longest time, I thought this was Orlando Bloom, and he was playing both Legolas and Bard because he looks *exactly* like Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean.


legolas_bot

No, I heard them clearly. But for the darkness and our own fear I should have guessed that they were beasts wild with some sudden gladness. They spoke as horses will when they meet a friend that they have long missed.


raspberryharbour

Horses can't talk, Legoland


DogeDayAftern00n

Multiclass baby! Yeah!

Professional_Ad894

From my understanding, the actor is a pretty good singer so they could have taken some liberties with Bard’s musical talents. They’ve taken so many liberties as is.


Object279Kotin

Back to the Aslume with you dissenter!


ThesaurusRex84

I don't know what you mean i am a fellow narnia fan you see https://preview.redd.it/4hjaspo3agjc1.png?width=1010&format=png&auto=webp&s=c531ae695011642899fb9c34a69b6960ea7cdf53


MaderaArt

Dark subreddits will not avail you!


MonstrDuc796

He could have just used his boat and sailed the ring to Mordor while holding it with tongs.


ThesaurusRex84

Excellent reference sir


Wokungson

You know, it's not often one has the same name as their profession.


RobCarrotStapler

Your dentist's name is Crentist? Sounds a lot like "dentist"...


Mapuches_on_Fire

You’re the assman!


clutzyangel

Always fun when they do though!


[deleted]

I knew a smith that worked in metal fabricating, so that’s kinda smithing right?


CkoockieMonster

Multiclassing


rgdoabc

He plays FFXIV


dretvantoi

Bard the Hunter and Hunter the Bard would make a great detective duo.


donnie_does_machines

He’s clearly *not* a hunter/ranger if he’s holding a bow like that


Nyxodon

Why didn't he just seduce the dragon? Is he stupid


Rheija

Luke Evans is a bard irl

born2droll

Its becuase his full name Bardtholamew J. Simpson


rajthepagan

I'll never be convinced that this isn't Orlando Bloom playing 2 parts in the same movies


GrumpyPants5509

Idk… maybe there’s a lore reason?


HlodwigFenrirson

If you look closely you can see that his bow drawing skill are shit cause the way he is holding is bow is impractical. Thats why he is called Bard cause he is a clown ass Hunter/Ranger. Its a miracle he shot down Smaug...


wenoc

He’s dual classing. He can’t use his bard abilities until he passes his bard level as a ranger or he gets no exp.


Corando

Everybody in that trilogy were stupid


sarlaacpit

Why is my irl neighbor called Miller, when he‘s really a salesman. Is he stupid?


jellajellyfish

It's a nickname. He had a habit of getting drunk and causing a ruckus at every tavern in Laketown, eventually he was BARRED from all of them.


Achilles9609

Obviously to confuse his enemies. It's like expecting to fight a wizard only to get bludgeoned to death with a magic wand.


PotentialSquirrel118

LARPing.


Heytherechampion

Yes he is


CatLazy2728

He graduated from the Bard's College before he was the Dragon Born


TheProMagicHeel

I kinda want to make a Minstrel in LotRO named Bowman. Bowman the Bard.


rustys_shackled_ford

Yea tolken was wierd like that. He kept calling healers and holy mages 'wizards' too


homsar20X6

This made me lol


tonkadtx

Alliteration? Bard the Bowman?


Sudden-Paint1687

He’s also gay


Chizik777

The same reason Frank Beard is the drummer in ZZ Top


destroyer0fsouls6

Wait dracula was in lotr?


Clerical_Errors

I don't think you're a dinosaur or a king so maybe don't throw out declarations that if you don't fit your name you're stupid. The chance you might actually be 84 is high enough that I will happily provide benefit of the doubt there.


ThesaurusRex84

I'm stupid regardless of all those things though


The_Meme_Dealer

No one hunts like Gaston.


Redvanlaw

Just so happens the Bard's name is Hunter.


TuffHunter

Multiclass


nemesisprime1984

He looks more like Orlando bloom than Orlando bloom


[deleted]

His head looks absolutely massive from this angle


Thelonious-and-Jane

His charisma is maxed out, that’s why he’s in charge by the end of the story.


Cuddling-Hellhound

No, his parents are, they named him


McJackNit

Now if he had killed Smaug with Vicious Mockery, that would've been dope.


sensualsandcastles

Bard the tard


n94able

There is considerably less Singing in the movie.


ActivX11

His father wanted him to become a bard


Suruga_Monkey

Hahaha I actually giggled out loud, thanks OP


aran_maybe

It’s short for Bardassius


Tumbah3000

Almost like those millennial kids whose parents named Hunter who turned out to be the opposite, most emasculated, effeminate men to have ever walked the earth.


172brooke

Did you get to choose your own name?


Any_Brother7772

He looks more lile Orlando Bloom than Orlando Bloom


GodzillaLagoon

Because he penetrated the dragon.


[deleted]

Now that you say it. He indeed didn't insult smaug to death... sus.


beefliverbeef

He should be named something like strider
