Orlando Bloom gets a degree

Orlando Bloom receives an honorary degree from the University of Kent in his hometown of Canterbury, United Kingdom. The 33-year-old English actor was joined by his fiancee Miranda Kerr and his mother Sonia Bloom, father Colin Stone, and sister Samantha.



"It's a really big deal. It's an exciting day for me," he said. "I'm really honored to be back in my home town. I have so many amazing memories of the cathedral and Canterbury.

I have lived near the university so it's like my playground. It's a huge, huge honour and I feel chuffed, as does my mother - nobody more than my mother," he added.
