Pirates Of The Caribbean star Orlando Bloom has joined forces with Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity to help launch its Make it Possible campaign, by providing the voiceover for its new animated film.

Bloom commented 'In my early twenties I had a terrifying back injury that was set to leave me permanently paralysed. Thanks to the expertise and dedication of my surgeon and of everyone at the RNOH who looked after me, I made a miraculous recovery. Whether or not you've heard of the RNOH, I cannot encourage you more strongly to support the Make it Possible campaign. Your help will enable the hospital to continue developing its pioneering, life-changing health care'.
