Orlando Bloom is adding a new role to his portfolio.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor is joining Porsche Design as a brand ambassador, fronting the brand’s timepieces and eyewear collections. Bloom joined Porsche Design after being a longtime Porsche enthusiast, according to the brand.
“It’s a great honor to represent Porsche Design as brand ambassador,” he said. “From our first conversation, I was excited about the idea of a partnership. I immediately sensed that the Porsche Design team and I share a mutual passion for great design and a similar mindset. The brand has a unique way of translating the unmistakable design and timeless elegance of icons like the Porsche 911 into lifestyle products. This blend of sports car-inspired aesthetics, unique heritage and exclusive lifestyle truly fascinates me. It’s exciting to now be part of this success story.”
