From telegraph.co.uk: As all parents know, bringing up a baby is expensive. However, Orlando Bloom's son, Flynn, cost the Hollywood star many millions even before he was born earlier this year.

The Canterbury-born actor discloses that he turned down a highly lucrative film role so that he could make sure he would be there when his first child was born. "I rejected a film to be present at the birth," says Bloom, 34, who married Flynn's mother, the Australian model Miranda Kerr, 28, last year.

"It was extraordinary. It seems strange to me to see a little version of myself with all of my imperfections turned into a perfection. A tiny person, so clean, so new?…"

From google.com: Hollywood star Orlando Bloom has backed efforts to save the UK's threatened butterflies by sponsoring a book aimed at helping children engage with the natural world.Bloom, 34, who has recently become a father, has sponsored Crystal, the Small Miracle, a children's book about butterflies.

The Lord of the Rings actor, who is currently in New Zealand filming The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, said: "Butterflies are powerful symbols of the beauty and vulnerability of nature."

Crystal, the Small Miracle, mixes fact and fiction to chart the life story of a butterfly from tiny egg to fully formed butterfly.

The "faction" book was written by Orlando's mother, author Sonia Copeland Bloom and is published by wildlife charity .

Orlando, who is married to Australian model Miranda Kerr, added: "I am delighted to back Butterfly Conservation and their efforts to ensure that these wonderful insects are conserved for future generations to enjoy.

"The story of Crystal, the Small Miracle, written by my mother for children everywhere, reflects her own love of butterflies as well as her passion for children to be educated about the insect world in general."

From heraldsun.com.au: Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom braved the cold to go house hunting in New Zealand yesterday. The couple were spotted viewing a rental property in the picturesque country.

Bloom, 34, is about to spend a long period in the country as he films The Hobbit, a two-part prequel to The Lord Of The Rings. And his Victoria's Secret supermodel wife, Kerr, 28, and their seven-month-old baby son Flynn, will be right by his side.

Leaving Flynn tucked up at home, the couple braved the chill to view a sprawling four bedroom waterfront home, which features a gym, home cinema, spa, swimming pool and wine cellar.

Bloom has already been in New Zealand for two weeks to reprise his Lord of the Rings character Legolas for the highly anticipated 3D movies. The British star was joined by Kerr and Flynn a week ago, after the model had returned to the catwalk for the first time since giving birth, for David Jones in Sydney.Since then, Kerr and Flynn have remained indoors at another rented property, while Bloom makes daily trips to Wellington's Stone Street film studio. The weather in New Zealand has been particulary bad, with plunging temperatures and snow closing schools and roads. Kerr has enjoyed the opportunity to spend some quality time with Flynn. She has been spotted reading him children's books and teaching him to paint. The family usually split their time between their LA and London home for their work.
