LOS ANGELES, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Kate Bosworth reportedly says the end of her relationship with fellow actor Orlando Bloom was the result of Hollywood's purported "Superman" curse.
Teen Hollywood reported the 23-year-old actress, who played Lois Lane in "Superman Returns," has claimed her split from Bloom was the direct result of the rumored curse that has surrounded Superman productions for decades.
"The stress of Kate filming and then promoting 'Superman Returns' was too much for her -- especially with Orlando being so busy with 'Pirates of the Caribbean' at the same time," a friend of the actress told Teen Hollywood.
"It's something they had suffered before in their relationship but 'Superman' was the one that broke them up," she added.
Prior to the end of the couple's romance, the purported curse has been blamed for the paralyzing accident the late "Superman" actor Christopher Reeve suffered, a series of on- and off-set incidents and the failed careers of former TV Men of Steel George Reeves and Kirk Alyn, said Teen Hollywood.
