Orlando Bloom has been appointed a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador. The Hollywood actor was given the title today by the United Nations Children’s Fund in recognition of his work and commitment to the rights of children around the world.
“I look forward to working with UNICEF as they continue to make the world a better place for children.
“UNICEF doesn’t just deliver humanitarian aid, which is what they are known for all over the world. They also educate and provide tools which help women and children face challenges specific to their own lives. I responded to how UNICEF works as much as I did to the work itself. I look forward to learning more and to supporting UNICEF anyway I can.”
The 32-year-old actor has worked with the organization since 2007, when he traveled with them to visit schools in poor areas of Nepal. He returned to the area in 2008 to monitor what work was being done to improve the cleanliness of drinking water in the region.
Orlando joins a host of other celebrities in his new role, including soccer star David Beckham, singer Shakira, actor Sir Roger Moore and actresses Mia Farrow and Vanessa Redgrave.

Looks a lot better with that tight haircut. Much better than his old long hair.

Welcome in the club of liar!
Good for him. But to me he will always be Charlotte York Goldenblatt
Really?? Well..good for him!
what happened? i thought it was a good cause
Wasn’t there some shady stuff going on with UNICEF not too long ago?
Yes. A lot of charities are quite shady actually. I’d rather volunteer my own time to something than give my money because you never know where it goes. I like to volunteer at animal shelters <3
Good for him! This makes me like him more.
I love it when celebrities do something decent with their fame.
He pretties up very nicely with a long wig and elf ears.
I don’t see how this guy is even remotely good looking or attractive…. I’ve never seen his appeal. He’s gross.
LOL
i dont like his hair like that
Oh wow! Congratulations Orlando! chinese translator
I used to volunteer at the animal shelter as well, but then my wor schedule got insane and I had to stop
( I send money to the ASPCA every month now. Its cool because I know exactly where the money goes and they take it out of my bank account on the same day every month.
