Valkyrae reveals her first celebrity crush was part of the iconic Lords of the Ring Trilogy series

Peter Jackson’s Lord Of The Rings series is one of the top trilogies of all time, breaking multiple records at the box office. With epic storylines, magnificent cinematography, mesmerizing music and iconic characters, the fantasy adventure trilogy is often regarded as the most influential film series ever.

One LOTR character, however, had a lasting impact on YouTube phenomenon Valkyrae, becoming her first-ever celebrity crush.

During her recent interaction with Peter Park during the Boomer vs Zoomer!, Valkyrae publicly revealed that Orlando Bloom’s Legolas from the Lord of the Rings trilogy was her first celebrity crush. Recalling how she fell head over heels for the character during her childhood, Valkyrae noted:

"Wait, let me think, let me think. Oh yeah, my first celebrity crush was Orlando Bloom, Lord of the Rings."

The revelation took Peter Park by surprise as he quickly took the opportunity and quipped:

"Oh nice, I was gonna say Pirates of the Caribbean. I am more of an Aragoan guy personally so."

However, the attention instantly shifted towards Kyedea, who was trying to find something on the internet.

The pair were then horrified to learn that Kyedea had no idea who Orlando Bloom was and tried to look him up on the internet, with Park stating:

"She is the problem, we are not the problem. You don't know who Orlando Bloom is?"
