Then Orlando Bloom was actually spotted taking a quick nap before he shot scenes for Needle In A Timestack!! The British actor was on the final day of shooting and decided to get a power nap in before he filmed a night scene on the beach.
![Orlando Bloom posted "that’s me #meditating not to be confused with #napping"using our Celebrity WotNot pics snapped on his latest movie](https://photos.smugmug.com/Filming-Behind-The-Scenes/Needle-In-A-Timestack-2019/i-wnMMWTj/2/f19af689/X5/Orlando%20Bloom%20Needle%20In%20A%20Timestack%20Nap%20Copyright%20Atlantic%20Images%2025072019%20003-X5.jpg)
Orlando Bloom then responded to our pics explaining this picture writing on the post above:
#Tbt to last week…that’s me #meditating not to be confused with #napping ? just prior to filming #needleinatimestack dropped into #vancouver to shoot for a week…ok…I may have also dropped off momentarily in this moment gotta love #jetlag look for the drool that’s a sure sign I’m asleep…if you haven’t tried it…I see #meditation as a kinda yoga for the mind not a spiritual practice exactly…it irons out the wrinkles in my mind and gives me band width to tackle my day…I actually like a meditate #nmrk kombo…on this occasion my day was a 6 page dialogue sc with the wonderful @leslieodomjr congrats on wrapping the movie you’re gonna be fantastic in the film ????✌?
