(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Orlando Bloom is considering going the way of Russell Crowe and becoming a singer.

The British actor plays band frontman The Stain in Sympathy for Delicious, about a group who are about to hit the bigtime. He enjoyed showing off his vocal talents in the picture and its got him thinking about another career.

Russell has famously tried his hand at singing before, and now performs as part of Russell Crowe & The Ordinary Fear of God. Orlando is in awe of the Australian star and thinks its time he took a leaf out of his book.

I dont consider myself a singer. It was so great to just let it rip and have the freedom of just wailing and doing that, he said. There was so much freedom for me, playing this character, and the singing was definitely a part of it. Im going to start a new career as a singer, I think. Im going to go the way of Russell Crowe.

Juliette Lewis also appears in the film, playing bassist Ariel. She has a successful music career under her belt, so Orlando turned to her for tips while shooting.

Of course I picked her brains, he laughed. She went in to sing before me and it was just like, Wow! That was how to do it, and I was ripping her off. (C) Cover Media
