Orlando Bloom has taken home the costumes he sported in the new The Three Musketeers movie, as they'll make the perfect fancy dress outfits for son Flynn when he grows up.

The actor donned a series of intricate 17th century period garments for his role as the Duke of Buckingham in the 3D reimagining of Alexandre Dumas' classic tale.

And Bloom, who is married to model Miranda Kerr, has kept his kooky on-screen wardrobe to hand down to his son, who was born in January (11).

He says, "When I worked on The Three Musketeers I embraced all of it. I think that getting dressed up and stuff - I love a frock - really informs what you're doing.

"The boots are staying, and the costumes, too. That's definitely a fancy dress outfit one day down the line - probably for my son."
