Feeling proud: Dad-to-be Orlando Bloom confessed his excitement at a photocall for the new Three Musketeers film in Munich todayOrlando Bloom can't keep the smile off his face.
Just 24-hours after his new wife Miranda Kerr revealed she was expecting their first child, the star revealed his happiness at a Munich photocall for his latest film.
'I'm really excited about it, it's great,' said the beaming actor as he attended the press event to mark the start of filming his new movie The Three Musketeers.
Kerr yesterday admitted she was expecting in an interview with Spanish Vogue.
'Yes, I'm pregnant. Four months along,' the 27-year-old Australian model said.
But there's a chance Bloom, 33, will be away for much of his wife's pregnancy - Musketeers will film largely in Germany and France.
Happy couple: Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom are expecting their first child'I'll go home as often as possible. She'll come out here too,' he said yesterday.
The baby is due early next year.
The Australian model wed the Pirates of the Caribbean star in an intimate ceremony in Anguilla in July just weeks after announcing their engagement.
The couple began dating in October 2007.
Kerr also told a Sydney newspaper earlier this month: ‘I have always been very open about wanting to be a mother one day. And I’ve always thought Orlando would be a great dad.
'I've always wanted kids, so someday, eventually, yes, it will happen.
'My ideal situation would be to live on a farm in a solar-powered house with a hammock and a vegetable patch.'
The Three Musketeers co-stars Milla Jovovich, Christoph Waltz and Matthew Macfadyen and is set for release next year.
