After months of telling the world how much they like each other, Orlando Bloom and his Pirates Of The Caribbean co-star Naomie Harris finally went out for a romantic dinner together in London last night.

Naomie, who played a gold-toothed voodoo priestess in the film, went to watch Orl in action in the working-class drama In Celebration at the Duke of York Theatre last night - and afterwards he swept the lucky girl off to Scott's in Mayfair for an intimate meal.

A source says: "She scored points with Orlando by being his friend first. He admitted recently that he's interested in more than a friendship with Naomie."

And she feels the same as she gushed: "Orlando - I love him! He was really sweet, and I was like, 'Yeah, you're the hottest one'."

She admitted at the time: "When I did the second 'Pirates' film I caught a cold on the plane on the way to start shooting. When I arrived on set everyone was there, Geoffrey Rush, Johnny, Orlando, and I was kind of intimidated because I caught this cold and I could hardly speak.

"But Orlando was really sweet, he came up to me and gave me all this cough syrup."

A friend says Orlando has quietly spoken about how much he likes Naomie because she's based in London, his hometown, and isn't into the whole Hollywood celeb scene.

The insider continued: "Orlando really appreciates everything Naomie did for him when he split from Kate and thinks a great way to start a relationship is to be friends first. They know everything about each other and it's only a matter of time before true romance blossoms.

"They've made no bones about the fact they both fancy each other."
