  You would think that being a gorgeous, super-successful Hollywood actor would make it easy to get a date, but not according to Orlando Bloom.
  
  The Lord of the Rings star said in the May issue of Elle magazine: "You can't date if you're famous. I find the whole dating thing very hard actually."
  
  It has been around eight months since the actor split from his on-off girlfriend of four years, Blue Crush star Kate Bosworth.
  
  Since then, despite many rumours linking him to beauties including Penelope Cruz, there has been no confirmed lady in Orlando's life.
  
  The actor recounted a conversation he had with fellow Pirates of the Caribbean actor, Johnny Depp.
  
  He said: "I was talking to Johnny on the set one time. I said, 'Can you believe they pay you this much money to do a job you love?' And he said, 'Privacy becomes really expensive.' It's true."
  
  Well at least that's one thing we mere mortals don't have to worry about when we're dating!
