Ned Kelly
25 August 2002
A tid-bit on Ned Kelly - "Twenty-four-year-old Brit Orlando and Aussie star Heath, 23, are both starring in Ned Kelly, a film about the legendary Australian outlaw. And, although, the Brad Pitt-style shaggy facial hair they have grown for the flick is historically accurate, Hollywood bosses are terrified their new beards will jeopardise the
pair's sex appeal with female film fans.
After much negotiation, Bloom and Ledger agreed to trim down to a trendy stubble-look, but it was too late - too many scenes had been shot to start again." --WENN
