Red Alert UK ka-Bloomies!
According to macca1997uk on a LOTR list, this weeks HEAT magazine has an article on Orlando by Samantha. Can someone check that for us?
Thanks!

Dairwenden,

As Heat is one of the worst celebrity/gossip magazines in the UK, I don't normally buy it but for Orlando I have gone against my principles and forked out £1.50 for this week's copy. Unfortunately I don't have a scanner so I can't post the article (entitled "From Geek to God") and probably wouldn't want to anyway.

It's not an article by Samantha - it seems to be mostly a cut and paste job complete with the usual errors and paparazzi pictures. There seems to be some original quotes, including a few from Samantha and a friend of Orlando's, but I have to wonder whether they really gave interviews about Orlando to a publication like this - I can't imagine he would approve.

However, the article is not TOO bad. I've listed Samantha's quotes below:

"Orlando was very creative. He was completely different to the kids who hung around on street corners. We entered bible-reading and sight-reading competitions at the Kent festival. And we'd spend weekends making up stories and putting on plays in our garden for our own amusement."

(On being accident-prone) "He fell out of mum's car once when she was driving us home. But before we realised, he'd jumped back in again. I literally turned round and said 'Where's Orlando' then the next minute he'd climbed back in and was sitting back beside me"

(On dressing her brother) "I was a Goth so I used to buy him clothes like Morrissey wore. I'd dress him up in suit jackets and Doc Martens."

(On his hair) "I remember him having a short back and sides with a little quiffy bit at the front."

Nothing too earth shattering then.

Well, you have my deepest gratitude for that, Greycat45!

I am so sorry, I had no idea what Heat was! I agree that it is highly unlikely that Samantha would give an interview to a magazine like that! I'm not psychic, but I'm going to predict that sometime in the future we will see these quotes in a legitimate interview, and then we will know where they were leaked from!

Thanks for posting the quotes though, it's so cute to think of them putting on their own plays in the back yard!

How do you fall out of a car? Must've been playing with the door latch. *LOL*

Jas sent me the scans she received from Penny; it is pretty much a crap article, but there were some cute pictures included - and a couple of them 'new'.

Chubby cheeks!!




Doctor, the patient may need mouth-to-mouth!

The thought of that boggles my mind.
They are the most adorable pictures, Jan, especially the first one.

He even had a thing for bandanas back then. What a blast from the past.

Thanks guys for the heads up! I've got the mag now and I'm laughing my head off at his bruised eye picture! He looks really funny! I wish I could share it with you guys but unfortunatly, I too, am scannerless. No doubt that it may pop up on the net soon though.

Awww, he was so cute as a little boy. His chubby cheeks are adorable. Thank you Greycat and Jan for those.

How cute is he? I swear, I could just grab his face and squish it. He looks like a little moon pie.

So this is from Casualty where he was uncredited??

What a cutie!!

Ladies and Gentleman, the bruise.


and this is the full cover, just so you see his costume.
