English actor Orlando Bloom has discovered another perk of having a family with Australian supermodel Miranda Kerr.
He will get to celebrate his second Father's Day this Sunday with seven-month-old Flynn, just three months after the UK Father's Day in June.
"That's great," the actor told AAP after finding out.
"I had one already. I suppose there's an English one and there's an Australian one.
"I get two, there you go."
The 34-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star said "nothing can prepare you" for being a dad.
But while Kerr is openly chatty about life as a mum, Bloom was not as forthcoming, preferring to talk about his upcoming movie The Three Musketeers.
Bloom arrived in Sydney on Sunday night for the quick-stop publicity tour and is set to fly back to New Zealand on Tuesday morning to continue work on Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.
He and Kerr were spotted house hunting in New Zealand last week, where shooting is taking place for the prequel to The Lord of Rings trilogy.
In it, Bloom will reprise the role of Legolas the elf that first made him famous and said he will be working on the shoot on and off.
"I'm sort of between America and New Zealand and here and everywhere at the moment," Bloom said.
"I'll be coming and going for about six months I think."
The couple have been flying back and forth from New Zealand and Australia recently as they try to spend as much time together as possible.
Bloom said there was "no doubt" he would visit Australia during The Hobbit shoot.
"I love coming to Australia," he said.
Early in August, Bloom was with baby Flynn for Kerr's rehearsal for the David Jones Spring Summer launch, but had to fly back to New Zealand and missed the real thing, where crowds gasped and applauded his wife's amazing post-baby body.
He said it's difficult trying to keep the family together when his work can often have such busy schedules.
"We'll try our best to keep it together but it's always a challenge," he said.
