8 Spooky Predictions Ricky Gervais Got Right In Extras

7. Maggie Doesn't Like Orlando Bloom

The Prediction: In the sixth episode of the first season, while cleaning her flat, Maggie removes a poster of Orlando Bloom from her wall after Andy tells her to grow up.

In Real Life: In Season 2, Bloom himself appears on the show, and is astonished when Maggie reveals that she doesn't find him attractive - which possibly explains why she took his poster down. It might seem like Bloom's appearance in the second season was the poster removal from the first season was a call-back, but the role Bloom played was originally ear-marked for Jude Law, who had to back out initially due to filming commitments (with his slot being changed and taken by the incredibly Sir Patrick Stewart - whose character was not intended for Law) with his intended episode put on the back-burner for later revival.

When Law wasn't able to commit at all, Orlando Bloom was brought in to replace him as the attractive star baffled by Maggie's apathy, turning an Easter Egg into an actual prediction.
