Orlando Bloom made a shocking revelation on The Late Late Show with James Corden recently, sharing a story about how he was robbed by the infamous Bling Ring. This isn’t the first time Bloom has appeared on the talk show, as he and Corden have previously crossed paths in London. But this time, Bloom had a captivating tale to tell.
According to Bloom, his house was burgled years ago, not by your regular burglar, but by the notorious Bling Ring. The thieves made off with a stash of watches that Bloom had collected over the years. The actor, who had never even considered having a safe, was taken aback by the audacity of the robbery.
Months after the incident, Bloom received a phone call from someone who had bought some of his stolen watches. This person informed Bloom that the watches were resurfacing, offering him the opportunity to potentially retrieve them. Intrigued, Bloom embarked on a months-long journey to locate the person in possession of his watches.
With the help of a private detective, Bloom finally tracked down the person at a pawn shop in the valley. Determined to get his watches back, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Sporting a hidden microphone and channeling his inner private detective, Bloom confronted the individual at the pawn shop.
During their encounter, Bloom played it cool, making it clear that he just wanted his watches returned. Eventually, the person agreed to meet Bloom the next day. However, things took an unexpected turn when the person asked Bloom to accompany him to “rough up” some people. Bloom, always up for an adventure, was ready to oblige but was informed that the time wasn’t right.
After Thanksgiving lunch with his family, Bloom received a phone call urging him to return to the pawn shop immediately. Arriving at the shop, he was presented with a box. Opening it, he couldn’t help but shed tears of joy as he discovered that five of his watches were inside.
The market for these particular watches was incredibly challenging, making it difficult for the thieves to offload them. Bloom didn’t have to buy back his own property; instead, he simply expressed his gratitude and left.
It’s a story that could very well be turned into a gripping film, one that Bloom suggests Sophia Coppola, the director of “The Bling Ring,” could helm. The actor, who has a penchant for collecting watches, could star alongside Corden in this captivating tale of retrieving stolen treasures.

From celebrity interviews to unforgettable moments, this talk show knows how to keep its audience engaged. The captivating story shared by Orlando Bloom is just another example of the entertainment value provided by The Late Late Show with James Corden.
