Melbourne, Sept 5 : Orlando Bloom has revealed that though his relationship with Erica Packer may look odd from the outside, but he has known her for a long time and they are great friends.

The 'Hobbit' star said that he has known Packer since he was 19 years old back in London, even before she was married to Australian billionaire James Packer, when she was married and afterwards, as they are all mates, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Bloom was recently photographed catching up with Erica in Spain while his former wife Miranda Kerr and James were also snapped holidaying together there. (ANI)
