Orlando Before The Crash

OBLOOM101107_20.jpgMore details from before Orlando's crash:

  • Last night before his accident, X17 photogs spotted Orlando Bloom leaving West Hollywood eaterie Ita Cho around 10 pm. Orlando was in an uncharactericstically good mood, he even giggled when a photog asked if Jennifer Aniston "was a good traveling companion"!
  • Later, Orlando was spotted at the Green Door, where an X17 inside source says he saw Orlando take a shot before he left the club!
  • When he left, Orlando got into the passenger side of a car, where he can be seen having an intense discussion with a man in the driver's seat, while a woman buries her head in her hands in the back. As Orlando left the car, we heard him say to the woman "I didn't realize he was your boyfriend!"
  • As he walked over to the black Toyota Matrix (which he would later crash), our photog said Orlando was again "uncharacteristically friendly and chatty", with the photogs. "Orlando never talks to us," our photog said, "he usually hides." As you can see from the video, last night was a very different Orlando than we usually see. When one photog dropped his keys, Orlando even stopped to pick them up for the pap. That's when Orlando got close enough to an X17 photog for him to get a whiff. "I thought I could smell alcohol on his breath," our photog said.
  • Then, Orlando got into the passenger seat of the Matrix, with a brunette woman in the driver's side (he would later switch seats with the driver just before the accident), a blonde woman passed out in the backseat. Even though the engine was already on, the driver turned the key again, prompting the photogs to scream to her that "it's already on!"
  • As the car drives away, one bystander could be heard saying "this is not gonna be good."

    And it certainly wasn't good.

    Celebrities are a bunch of alcoholics and drug addicts. It's embarassing to see how they act in public.

    So, wait. Was Orlando driving, or no? Did they switch drivers at some point before the crash?

    Come on, he wasn't driving. The guy is over 21 so he can drink, and was being responsible for not driving. Too bad LL and Shitney are too stupid to figure that one out.

    "As he walked over to the black Toyota Matrix (which he would later crash),...Then, Orlando got into the passenger seat of the Matrix, with a brunette woman in the driver's side...[prev post] Our video starts immediately after the accident, as Orlando attempted to leave the scene (until a photog had the presence of mind to inform him that, if he left the scene, his actions would make the accident a hit-and-run)."

    1. How could it be a hit-and-run if he wasn't driving?

    2. It could be argued that he was injured, therefore his thinking process could have been affected.

    3. I read on another paparazzi blog that x17 paps (you guys) were passing their car, which caused the accident in the first place.

    Why is he pinching his cheek like that? Maybe it's because he's on drugs?

    hahahaha but seriously orlando's HOT!!

    Jessica Simpson was with him Wed night Ok mag is reporting

    Well- guess Orlando is finally showing his true colors. C-O-W-A-R-D. He's just become another sad sad Hollywood cliche hasn't he? Now we know why Kate left him. Doesn't he have ANYONE in his life who will stand up to him and talk straight-anyone who truly cares? Because all those family and friends who he says help keep him in line have fallen down on the job. Or they are so invested in his fame and money and lifestyle they are useless to him. Too bad. He had so much potential....

    he's running away because he's either been drinking or on some drug. Orlando is known to be a little dumb and quirky but unless he had a real reason he wouldn't have tried to leave the scene. Oh, good job on getting the footage x17, you beat out all the other sites.

    Posted by: Luvvy


    I don't understand why you guys are saying he was drinking when they administered a blood test and the results show he was NOT drunk or on drugs....?????? He was cut off and that is what caused him to crash the car. Him leaving the scene however, bothers me b/c I really like him as an actor. I hope there is a good explanation for that.

    Hell, he was probably walking around because he was in shock!!! Damn, the guy was just driving along minding his own business when someone almost hit him, causing him to smash into another car. Why isn't anyone talking about the driver that is REALLY responsible for this accident? Where is he/she?

    9:16 sooooo right!!!!
    anon... is so wrong!!

    Posted by: B


    For those of you saying he wasn't walking away watch again...the pap tells him walking away is hit & run and he has to go back and "deal with it" and he says "REALLY?" then turns around and makes a phone call....REALLY???????WTF only in hollyweird!

    Hey, x17!! When will you post facts, like, THE POLICE REPORT THAT SAYS THAT MR. BLOOM WAS NOT DUI?????!!!!!

    9:26
    Come out from that cloud of smoke!!
    The guy is guilty of something..
    Leaving the SCENE!!
    Its on TAPE!
    WATCH AGAIN!!

    Posted by: B


    Know what I think? x17 caused this whole accident and are trying to put blame on someone else.

    He's not leaving, what's he going to do, flee on foot? That's stupid. He's trying to make a call without the vultures recording it.

    Someone is heard saying you guys caused this, you caused an injury...sh*t, they are public figures but we don't need another Princess Diana-like story of the papparazi chasing someone into an accident.

    Posted by: mom-e-of-3


    O.K O.K ... IF X17 & OTHER PAPS WERE WITH THEM WHEN THEY PULLED AWAY THEN YOU WERE AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT ... WHY OH WHY IS THERE NO FOOTAGE ALONG THE STREET OF THE GIRL GETTING OUT & SWAPPING DRIVERS?? IT JUST SEEMS WEIRD THAT THERE IS B4 SHOTS & ACCIDNET SHOTS BUT ALL THE PAPS DIDNT BOTHER SNAPPING PICS WHEN HIM & THE GIRL SWAPPED OVER ... ARE WE POSITIVE HE WAS EVEN DRIVING?

    AT THE START OF THE VIDEO, HE GETS INTO AN AUDI WITH ANOTHER GUY. THAT IS ORLANDOS CAR SO IF HE DECIDED HE WASNT FIT TO DRIVE HIS OWN CAR THEN WHY WOULD HE GET IN ANOTHER CAR & THEN 1/2 WAY ALONG THE STREET SWAP WITH THE GIRL THEN CRASH - IT JUST SEEMS RLLY STRANGE - THE WHOLE SCENARIO.

    Lucky he didn't run into Britney and JR Rotem who were out toodling around at 2 am. Gee, x17, check out perezhilton and hollywood.tv for video of Brit and JR.

    I think from what i've seen of orlando over the years it doesn't seem like he would just walk away from the accident like that. He seems like a pretty decent guy. I thought maybe he was drunk but if the police are saying no maybe it was just shock.I've been in a car accident and believe me the first few minutes after are kind of like.. huh? ... what?

    trash drunk!

    so obv they all looked drunk! and shouldn't have been driving they were asking for it.

    Posted by: aasucks


    Orlando probably switched seats with the girl after they crashed because he was the most sober person in the car. The driver was obviously under the influence... I think if he had really been driving he would have stayed.. but he didn't like the situation he was put in, being forced into the driver's seat so that's why he tried to leave. He's pretty famous for being a bit dimwitted remember.

    WAS HE DRIVING??????

    SOMEONE ANSWER

    Posted by: Confuzzuled


    He was drinking water and walking fine. After the accident he is seen talking to the police, and ambulance crew. If he had alcohol on his breath they would have smelled it.

    TO all the little fangirlies and desperate dried up old twats starting to scream "Conspiracy" because there is no video of Orlando switching to the drivers seat-although its clearly in the video and he's stated that he was driving in the police report- the woman driving from the bar was clearly unfit and they switched on down the road. No one knew the accident was going to happen so why would anyone video tape "evidence"? He was caught in the seat at the scene. And he was caught walking away... even the Pap sounded slightly incredulous and told him he just "had to go back and deal with it"!

    that makes alot of sense 10:21, because when someone more fit to drive gets behind the wheel, they crash. how about the unfit driver crashed and orly (seeing as how the paps aren't there to document it) puts himself in the drivers seat to protect the other driver?

    Posted by: Anonymous


    Ah yes Lexxa-Orlando The Victim! Those two injured women-those big bad meanies-FORCED Orlando to switch seats! And then he realized he was being set up and decided to show them just whats what and walked away from the scene! Poor Boo-Boo, always the Victim, never responsible for what he does!

    right on!!!

    what a coward to try and leave the scene when someone was hurt and I seen footage on tmz where he is kissing the guy,omg I didn't know he was bisexual ??

    Posted by: mj


    I think the crash is the least fascinating part about this. Orlando is going insane.

    First he goes to the one car, and argues with some super-hot girl's boyfriend -- he must have been hitting on her. Then he apologizes, and goes back to his car, which already has two girls in it.

    What was he doing, starting a collection? Is he some Saudi Arabian sheik putting together a harem? It looks to me like he is full of self-loathing.

    Ok don't ask me how i know this but THIS IS WHAT REALLY HAPPENED....the woman who was driving the car (yes,SHE was the one driving the whole time) is Orlando's SISTER...SHE was clearly intoxicated and when the accident happened Orlando switched seats with her.And believe me he was NOT running away...remember that add with this guy who was running and initially in the add you thought he was being chased but at the end of the add you could see he was the one chasing the bad guys...well let's just say there is a reason why we don't see Orlando from the MOMENT he starts to walk away from the car but we only see him when the paps tell him to not go away...

    hahah dude I found this site cause I thought Orlando looked drunk in the pictures from comcast news, and let me say that foolio is drunk and those two biatches Definately were hammered

    hi people i'm writeen from Portugal and I think that Orlando have a life like the comum people. So this things hapen's. He's a good guy and he likes help your friends. I did the same think.

    Posted by: Sandra Amorim


    I can't get the vidoe to play - is there somewhere else to watch it, I've tried TMZ, that vid is slow to load as well. Help anybody?

    Posted by: nic


    Orlando's definitely not himself in this video...look at the way he's so giggly and friendly to the paps.

    Then at the end you hear people saying 'its going to end in tears' and 'this is not gonna be good' seems like they knew how drunk they were...I can't seem to defend Orlando's behaviour in any way.

    Posted by: Anonymous


    everyone is a dumbass once in awhile...it was his day. dui is serious, and until someone like him dies, no one will take it seriously. frankly, i don't give two sh*ts if he was drunk or not -- but i do believe the two girls definitely were & drinking and driving is a stupid choice. i could fucking care less about a conspiracy. if all of these actors want to go out and party, that's fine. just hire a driver. it's not like they don't have the money.
    and as for walking away -- well perhaps it wasn't alcohol that he had...judging from his behavior, he seems like he had a hit or two...or three.
