No "Deed Poll" after all? posted on Dec. 31, 2002

OBF Board: There is an interview with Orlando in TV Hits magazine (Australia), and here's one question: "There's a story going around that one of the jobs you've had recently is a bit of a naughty short film in which you spend most of your time naked and kissing a guy." Orlando's answer: "No! That's total crap! When I hear that sort of thing I get annoyed. I want people to know that story is total bollocks! I haven't done a film like that."
