Well, bollocks to the format I was putting this in before! Basically, I got there and sat around for BLOODY HOURS waiting to be fitted, then...THEN * * the woman came out and told us we might not be shooting tomorrow and was unsure when they would be shooting the scenes as there was some confusion. So, we sat there again for another hour until she came back with a look on her face that I could read a mile away. She cringed and told us they had cancelled the handmaidens as they had found out that they didn't have female servants in those days!!!!!!!!!!!
So, totally gutted, all four of us trooped outside and got in a car (one of the other girls) and decided to go to the pub to get really drunk and drown our sorrows. On the way there I called Tony from the casting agency and we both had a good moan about it as he was as pissed off as we were and I asked if there were any other female roles I could do, as Lisa (woman in charge) had said it was a real shame because I had the perfect look, what with my hair and everything. He told me there were NO other female extras AT ALL (!) so that was out! Bah! I put on a moany voice and said 'I only wanted to meet Orlando Bloom' and he laughed and said 'let me check the schedule....yes, he's on set today.'
Well, paint me purple and call me Susan!!!!!!! I told the girls to pull over and let me out because I was going back!!!! They thought I was joking until I said, very seriously 'Let...me...out.'. I was then released from the car and walked the mile back to the studio and basically walked around for 3 hours just looking like I was on my cellphone and wandering aimlessly (trying to look inconspicious). As I stood outside the sound stage that I had decided they were shooting in (I know the signs of a set in use), anyhoo, as I stood there Eric Bana drove past on a golfcart thingy and I didn't even recognise him as he was in costume. It wasn't until he came back 20 minutes later that I realised who he was and that he'd been to the make-up bloke to change. Then I figured they must have finished shooting then so stayed around. A half hour later I was on the phone to my friend and a posh car came out with Brad Pitt sat in the passenger seat!!!!!!!!! He's gorgeous!!!!!!!! *drools a little*
So, I'm stood there talking to my mum on the phone later on and a maroon Jaguar comes down the drive from the set and there sits ORLANDO with big curly hair, reminiscent of Michael Jackson back in his microphone days (lmfao) and a white toga with a red sash over one shoulder, and he nods at me as the car goes past!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm stood there a little speechless as my mum's asking what's going on and I explain as I hightail it back down to make-up.
I arrive at make-up and there's a guy stood next to the Jag that I have seen hanging around for the past 2 days, so while my mum is on the line I started talking to him as my mum's encouraging me. Turns out he's Orlando's driver so I ask if Orlando would mind me talking to him when he came out. Driver smiled and said he had no idea lol. So I go back to waiting and 5 minutes later Orlando walked out of the door and I want to keel over and melt into a puddle of goo...then he was followed closely by Kate Bosworth!
Heart totally SINKS. I really want to talk to him but his girlfriend is walking behind him (again - ahem) and they're heading to the driver and the car and a few other people come out of the door. I think 'Fuck it!' and walk over, saying his name and he looks round, straight at me *swoons* and kind of smiles at me. I say "can I just, er..say hello?" and he said 'Hello' and then broke out laughing (am I supposed to be amused?). he's like 'no, I'm kidding, yeah sure' and grins at me, walking towards me. He's wearing a tightish black longsleeved top with dark combat pants and is just as tanned as me. I started telling him about the fact that I should have been shooting with him the next day but had been cancelled and he said "Aw, that's a shame" and asked me my name. There were so many things I wanted to say but felt like I couldn't as KATE was looking me up and down then she flopped into the car and shut the door. So, I had to stick to crappy conversation as I just wanted to ram my fist down her throat. Sorry if you think that's girl-friend bashing stuff but that's the emotion that ran through my mind as I was trying to drink in the Bloom.
I really didn't want to come across like a fangirl but I had no choice as there really wasn't any flirting I could do with his girlfriend sat staring at me out of the window so I asked if I could have a picture to make up for not being able to work with him the next day and he agreed that would be fine (also good excuse for him to put his arm round me lol) so as I'm fishing my camera out of my bag I mentioned that he called Lori to thank her for the care-package and that she was really chuffed and he smiled and went "oh yeah, I remember! Do you know her?" and I said "Well, I don't KNOW her but I visited her site once or twice and have spoken with her a few times". He nodded and I told him thank you for calling her as it meant a lot to her. That made him smile and I finally found the camera and pulled it out. I asked one of the nearby guys to take a picture and handed him the camera as Orlando said "So, how come they cancelled the scene with us then?". My mind picked up the word US and I marvelled over it for a second as his arm was round me and we posed for a picture. The guy with the camera couldn't figure the camera out so I leaned forward to show him what to do and dropped my glasses and Orlando bend down and picked them up for me. Then I told him about the fact that they just found out that there were no female servants at the time and he pulled a face as if to say 'eh?' and then turned to the guy who had taken the shot and said "ARGH! We'll have to see what we can do about that!" and the guy laughed and nodded at him.
I said, "Yeah, you do that!" and then "Well, I'll let you go. It was really nice to meet you." He smiled and nodded and said "You too." And turned to get in the car as I was a little flustered trying to put my glasses in their case. "Ok, bye." I said as I turned away and he said "Bye Lori" Then slapped his hand over his eyes and went "Sorry, I mean Kerry, you confused me with the other name!" and we both laughed and I turned away as he got in the car.
Ok, my analysis of this man is that pictures and film do not do the man justice at all! HE'S F****** DELICIOUS!!!!!!!! *insert heavy drooling and swooning here*. He's actually not that tall in the flesh, just about 3 inches taller than me in my platforms. He's really tanned and he looks really delicate! That sounds weird but it's hard to explain. He's very slim frames and his wrists are probably as wide as mine! He's just....just...UUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
So, my rundown of the entire Handmaiden experience is that I'm extremely pissed off that I spent 270 pounds on my hair and got totally exhausted for absolutely no reason at all and would never have even seen Orlando if I hadn't fallen back on my own initiative and experience and walked back to the studio. Of course meeting Orlando makes up for the crapness of the rest but I wish I could have shot the scenes! I was really looking forward to it! I really didn't want my first meeting (it won't be my last, believe me!) to be that way but because Kate was there I really didn't want to say the things I had WANTED to say. I was planning on a little flirting maybe and telling him thanx for some of the inspirations he's given me and maybe thank him for inadvertently making me so many new friendships over the internet that I really value (yes, YOU), but I couldn't do that with her staring at me out of the window so I was a little deflated at our meeting because of that. Bah!
