Orlando auctions himself off for a date

British actor Orlando Bloom has managed to do his bit for charity after he auctioned himself off for a dinner date for 9000 pounds. Bloom, 32, who is rumoured to be engaged to Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr, auctioned off a dinner date at a star-studded charity bash for London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital on June 17, reports Contactmusic.

Formula One racing driver Lewis Hamilton, British TV presenter Vernon Kay and Jade Jagger joined Bloom at the Victoria and Albert museum, as they helped raise over 450,000 pounds for the children’s charity.

Hamilton’s customised diamond-encrusted racing helmet was also auctioned off at 30,000 pounds.

Guests were treated to a champagne reception and an intimate performance by ‘Warwick Avenue’ singer Duffy.
