'Men feel important when you ask for their help': Miranda Kerr reveals secrets of her 'traditional' marriage to Orlando Bloom

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Opening up: Miranda Kerr has revealed her very retro and traditional ideals when it comes to her marriage to Lord Of The Rings star Orlando Bloom in an interview with Net-a-porter's online magazine The Edit

She may currently have a seemingly more successful career than her husband Orlando Bloom.
But Miranda Kerr says she prefers to take a backseat in her home life with her hubby.
The 30-year-old supermodel has revealed her very traditional values when it comes to her marriage to the Lord Of The Rings star.

In an interview with Net-a-porter's online magazine The Edit, Miranda discusses the relationship dynamic between her and Orlando, whom both share a two-year-old son Flynn.
The Australian model says it's important for her to sometimes let Orlando be the dominant one in their home life.
'I think it is really important not to feel as a woman that you have to do and be everything,' she explains.

Gorgeous: In the magazine, the 30-year-old also models an array of swimwear

'I am quite dominant in my career, so what really works for me when I come home, is to relax more into the feminine side.
'If you’re really an alpha female, you don’t allow [your partner] to have the space to feel like the man in the relationship.
'Maybe I am too traditional, but men feel important when you ask for their help, instead of thinking you can do it all on your own.'

She says that in her past relationships she has made the mistake of trying to do it all on her own.
'My mistake in my relationships has been to feel that I can do it all on my own: I don’t need a man,' she says.
'That is definitely a mistake. Women generally want to feel loved and appreciated. It’s something that I am working on every day, trust me! It’s a challenge for me to do that.'
Elsewhere in the interview, which is accompanied by sexy snaps of the star wearing an array of swimwear designs, Miranda once again dispels rumours that her Victoria's Secret contract ended after six years because 'she was too old'.

Parents: Miranda and Orlando share a two-year-old son, Flynn

'Ed [Razek, who has been casting the models for 15 years] and I are really good friends, and we both decided it was impractical for me to continue. I have such fond memories of working with them,' she explains.
Miranda, who has her own beauty line Kora Organics, says she's excited about the change in the direction of her career.
'I am really enjoying having a more active role in everything I am doing,' she says.
'Being creatively involved, being strategic about the projects I take, making sure that they are in line with me and my brand.'
She also intends to use her public identity and voice for good.
'I want to do good things with that voice,' she says. 'My ambition comes from my passion: finding what I love and then expanding on that.'

Swinging in the sun: Miranda posted a photograph of herself and her son Flynn on her Instagram account on Thursday afternoon

First look! Orlando Bloom reprises his role as arrow-shooting Legolas in new Hobbit trailer The Desolation of Smaug

By SHYAM DODGE

Return of the elf: Orlando Bloom reprises his role as Legolas, from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, in the second instalment of The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug

The pointy eared archer Legolas is back.
The immortal elven prince, portrayed by Orlando Bloom, makes a fiery entrance in the new trailer for the second instalment of the Hobbit trilogy, The Desolation Of Smaug.
With his trademark blonde half ponytail and long bow, Orlando slides into frame in the opening sequences of the teaser drawing an arrow on Thorin Oakenshield, played by Richard Armitage, threatening: 'Do not think I won't kill you dwarf.'

Watch out! Orlando shows off his archery skills as he fights Orcs in the fantasy adventure film

Orlando, with his bow fully drawn, says the lines after careening down a steep leaf strewn knoll only to land effortlessly on his feet.
Legolas is later seen talking with Evangeline Lilly's new elven character Tauriel, as she appears to convince him of offering his aid to the dwarves and the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins, saying: 'It is our fight.'
But Orlando, 36, draws his bow more than once in the trailer, as he can be seen aiming at the head of an Orc during a battle scene in a sunlit clearing on a mountain top.

Unexpected arrival: Orlando's Legolas was not a part of the original The Hobbit but was written into the film adaptation to spice up the storyline

The appearance of Legolas will most likely be an unexpected development for fans of the fantasy novel The Hobbit, which preceded the epic J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy The Lord Of The Rings.
While Orlando's character featured prominently in both the books and Peter Jackson's film version of the three part LOTR series, he was not in the original story of The Hobbit.
Jackson offered an explanation for writing Legolas into the Hobbit films to Entertainment Weekly: 'He’s [elven king] Thranduil’s son, and Thranduil is one of the characters in The Hobbit, and because elves are immortal, it makes sense Legolas would be part of the sequence in the Woodland Realm.'
The director also promised that Orlando's appearance is 'more than a cameo.'

Mixing it up: Director Peter Jackson admitted that Evangeline's character was added to bring a female element to the male dominated story

In 2011 Jackson announced Orlando's casting on his Facebook page, writing: 'Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas.
'I'm excited to announce today that we'll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again.'
Adding: 'Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that's why he makes such a wonderful elf.'
