Orlando Bloom is reportedly furious at his long-time friend for going after his estranged wife.
Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr had just announced their divorce when the couple's close friend Leonardo DiCaprio swooped in to try and woo the Aussie model, according to the National Enquirer.

The tabloid claims that “Leo started hitting on Miranda, determined to make her another notch on his bedpost,” not long after the couple announced that their three-year marriage was over.
“Miranda is Leo’s dream girl. He’s had the hots for her for years but mostly kept his distance out of respect for her marriage,” an insider reveals.
The Great Gatsby star reportedly assured his pal that he had nothing to worry about when it comes to Miranda. The source adds, “Leo comforted his pal, saying, ‘I know better than anybody — there are plenty of other fish in the sea.’”

According to the magazine, 39-year-old Leo went ahead and asked Miranda out anyway. “Orlando was shocked that a friend would stab him in the back so callously,” the source continues. “He told Leo to lay off, at least until his divorce is final.”
The claim comes just days after reports that Miranda, a former Victoria's Secret model from the New South Wales town Gunnedah, has been secretly dating 46-year-old billionaire James Packer, who split from his wife of six years Erica Baxter in September.
