This may be stretching the meaning of the word ‘hero,’ but actor Orlando Bloom is reportedly claiming that people have called him a hero for fighting Justin Bieber. Apparently, even celebrities don’t like Bieber’s attitude.
The Lord of the Rings actor told the U.K. Mirror that “everyone keeps telling me I’m their hero.” As he made the comment, he spotted Leonardo DiCaprio, who saw the fight on Wednesday on the Spanish island of Ibiza, and gave the fellow actor a hug. DiCaprio reportedly even cheered for Bloom during the fight, while Lindsay Lohan also watched on and laughed.
So, while Bloom is basking in his newfound fame as the guy who fought a 20-year-old pop singer, Bieber is using social media to get back at his 37-year-old rival. He posted a picture of Bloom crying on Instagram. The Mirror also claims that Bieber has banned Bloom from his birthday party.
The spark for the fight was allegedly Miranda Kerr, Bloom’s ex-wife. After the fight, Bieber posted pictures of her on Instagram.
Bloom has been trying to move on from Kerr, though. He was seen with Erica Packer, and Us Weekly reported that he got cozy with Nina Dobrev at Comic-Con.
