Orlando said a friend told him, 'If you want to be serious about a relationship, go celibate for a few months and figure it out.'
The Lord of the Rings star explains, 'It takes away the idea of going to a party and thinking, "Who am I going to meet?"'

He went on, 'I was suddenly like, "Oh, I can have a relationship with a woman that is just friends."'
Orlando's initial plan was to practice celibacy for three months.

However, it lasted much longer and he explained why, 'I was really enjoying the way I was relating to women, and to the feminine within myself.'
Orlando added, 'I know that sounds crazy.'

The 43-year-old has come to the conclusion that complete celibacy is not good for you.
He said, 'I don’t think it’s healthy. I don’t think it was advisable.'
'You have to keep it moving down there.'
