WASHINGTON — Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom recently opened up about a 1998 fall that “crushed” his spine and also shared a throwback photo taken just three months after the near-fatal accident. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” alum shared the image on his Instagram handle, which showed a younger Bloom wearing a back brace while riding a bicycle, as per reports. “Until then, I didn’t have a healthy appreciation for life and death — that we’re not invincible,” he recalled of the accident. It took me a couple of months to realize this was my life, and I didn’t want to mess it up,” said Bloom. Earlier in August 2021, the “Carnival Row” star shared several photographs from his skinny-dipping adventure at a lake, as per reports.
