Orlando Bloom was not a"good"student in school．Because of dyslexia，a reading and writing disorder，he struggled in many courses．But Bloom says the dyslexia gave him the encouragement to overcome his difficulties．

In an interview with the Telegraph，the 32-year-old said the condition turned him into an ambitious person．"Because of the dyslexia，I always thought I had to work twice as hard as everyone else just to go the same distance，"he said．"That gave me a real kick as a kid and a lot of encouragement later on．In one sense，I guess that I'm grateful．"

Bloom is always preparing it thoroughly when it comes to an audition （试镜）for a part．Perhaps this is what won him his role in the Lord of the Rings，a highly successful film trilogy （三部曲）．"I really prepared it thoroughly for the audition and it's paid off，"he said．

It was the beginning of a fame that led to even greater success as a movie actor．But unlike some young people who aim for fame and fortune，Bloom believed an acting career"has been fulfilling （实现） his childhood fantasies"．

"Aged 9，I had this girlfiriend and we used to have running races in the park to see who would be her boyfriend for the day．I wanted to be like Superman and fly in and rescue her．Once I realized Superman was an actor，I thought，‘That's for me'．"

Bloom has always played special characters，like a knight （骑士） and a prince．It's difficult to picture him in everyman roles．

In October，Bloom was named Goodwill Ambassador （亲善大使）for the United Nations Children's Fund （UNICEF）．His first task will be to film a documentary about the importance of clean water supplies．

In fact，Bloom started work for the UNICEF in 2007．On his first visit to Nepal，he was asked by students to take a small part in a play they were performing on the local radio．
