ORLANDO BLOOM - BLOOM BEMOANS MISSING FAMILY OCCASIONS

Hollywood star ORLANDO BLOOM's one regret about being an international celebrity is he's so busy working on movies he never gets the chance to attend once-in-a-lifetime family parties.

The PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN actor has missed a string of weddings and christenings since he shot to fame, but accepts his absences are a part of the job.

The 28-year-old says, "You miss out on things like friends' birthdays and people getting married and having kids.

"I mean, three of my friends have got families now - in fact, I'm the godfather of one of the kids and I've only ever seen him twice.

"It's so weird. They're still trying to schedule a christening when I can be around. It's tough sometimes."
