Okay, so we're not related. However, he was named in part after my great great great (yes, three greats) grandmother Rhoda's brother Jonathan Blanchard. Jonathan Blanchard was, according to Wikipedia, "a pastor, educator, social reformer, abolitionist and the first president of Wheaton College, Illinois".
Orlando Bloom's full name is Orlando Jonathan Blanchard Bloom.
I think he owes his success in part to my family... :)

I hope you discovered this fact while researching your ancestry, and not while researching Orlando Bloom! If you did, then you're a dork!
No, I'm still cool! :) I was trying to find a picture of Jonathan Blanchard and I kept getting photos of Orlando Bloom. So I said hmmmm...
