Star-spotting Blooms downtown
Bumpy flight
A Queenstowner says she sat behind Bloom on his Air New Zealand flight into the resort on Monday morning. The woman says Bloom was hit up for photos by three air hostesses, requiring Bloom’s travel mate – whom she believes was Peter Jackson’s PA – to get up and vacate his seat.
“He was left standing in the aisle like a total pork chop. I just thought it was very inappropriate,” the Queenstowner says. “Bloom was only identified because of the air hostesses. Then the bloke sitting next to me, once he saw who it was, he was deep breathing and couldn’t wait for a photo.
The PA fobbed him off on the plane and when we got into the airport I saw him pursuing them.”
