The Pirates of the Caribbean star shared the news with the Associated Press. Bloom, 30, explained, "It’s been wonderful, but I’m sort of psyched to do something completely different."
The British actor also plans to take some different roles. He will soon perform on the live stage in London for In Celebration.
He added, "I’m looking forward to continuing working on movies and making choices that excite me, and right now that is doing some theater."
Another Pirates of the Caribbean star, Keira Knightley, also plans to take some time off from film work.
