Orlando Bloom Named UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador
Apparently when he’s not busy playing elf-prince Legolas in The Lord of the Rings or Will Turner in the Pirates of the Caribbean, Orlando Bloom spends time fighting for the rights of children worldwide.
Bloom, 32, has been named UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador in recognition of his commitment to the rights of children around the world.
“Advocacy from UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors helps build momentum to improve the lives of children around the world,” UNICEF Executive Director, Ann M. Veneman said. “We are proud to have Orlando Bloom as one of the strong voices for vulnerable children.”
Bloom, who has supported UNICEF’s work since 2007, when he first visited schools in Nepal, said he was looking forward to working with UNICEF “as they continue to make the world a better place for children.”
