sp; Teen HollywoodTrends come and go, and now it looks like the time of the girly boy metrosexual look is coming to an end as one of its pin-up boys is about to go all hirstute and join the ranks of Jude Law, Hugh Jackman, Ben Affleck, Eric Bana, Jake Gyllenhaal and other poster boys who're proudly avoiding the wax strips.

Teen Hollywood reports that Orlando Bloom has been told to wear fake chest hair to look 'more manly' for his new film. Movie bosses want the screen heartthrob to cover up with the hairy rug for his new lead role in the Crusades epic "Kingdom of Heaven".

The 28-year-old has also been bulking up for the star part and working out regularly in the gym to build up muscles for the farrier-turned-warrior role in the Ridley Scott epic but is refusing to binge eat to help him gain weight.

So in order to look more 'manly', Scott reportedly believes the actor needs to cover his naturally hairless chest to make a more convincing hero

Just goes to show, some people have just got it - and some don't.

Thanks to 'The Ultimate Bear'.
