Orlando Bloom wants to play more bad guy roles

Actor Orlando Bloom said he wants to play more bad guys after his role in The Three Musketeers.

The 34-year-old star takes on the role of the Duke of Buckingham in the new flick and he stars in the film along with Milla Jovovich, Logan Lerman and Christoph Waltz.

He admitted that he enjoyed playing a baddie in the film and also in his other new film, The Good Doctor, where he plays a doctor who messes with his patient's treatment because he fancies her.

According to UK newspaper Daily Record, he said: "Bad guys definitely have the fun and I want to do more of that.

"The Duke of Buckingham is more of a petulant child than a swashbuckler but it was a lot of fun as it was a really different kind of a character to play.

"The Good Doctor is a bit of a departure, too. I'm stepping out of what people might imagine me to be and it's challenging as it's a really dark little movie.

"You wouldn't want to go and see him. But it's interesting as it's a real character-driven piece, very much about the human condition."
