Orlando Bloom pokes fun of himself on Extras -- VIDEO

A clip from the next season of Extras made its way to YouTube (Season 2 is about to begin on BBC Two). In it, Orlando Bloom signs autographs and tries to impress Maggie (Ashley Jensen) by telling her how much more famous he is than Johnny Depp. In true Ricky Gervais fashion, it's simultaneously hilarious and uncomfortable.

Other celebrities scheduled for cameos on Extras this season are David Bowie, Chris Martin, Daniel Radcliffe, and Sir Ian McKellan.

Orlando Bloom on Extras video clip is after the jump.

Fantastic, I think a few American celebrities should take a few notes on not taking yourself too seriously.

Shrug...looks like last season. thumbs down. Gervais' stuff is too obvious. The jokes/humor suffers from being telegraphed, like your average tv sitcom, so there's no laugh to be found.
