Orlando Bloom to make an unexpected cameo in kids TV show

We know him from Pirates Of The Caribbean but Orlando Bloom is set to tackle a very different role.

The actor will be making a cameo in Peppa Pig of all things and to be fair, we're kinda of living for this latest career move. Orlando will be starring as a jeweller called Mr. Raccoon in a three-part special named Peppa Pig Wedding Party Special which will have it is premiere in spring of 2024. Mr. Raccoon is set to help Peppa and her friends as they prepare for Mr. Bull and Mrs. Cow's big day after surprising everyone with their last-minute wedding announcement - leaving them with only a day to get organised.

Orlando will be joining his other half, Katy Perry, as it was previously announced that she will have the role of Mrs. Leopard. "We're incredibly thrilled to have such an A-list talent join the family-fun adventures in Peppa Pig," said Olivier Dumont, president of Hasbro Entertainment.
