Fans are in awe after Orlando Bloom shared striking footage of him paddleboarding in Malibu as a great white shark swam just feet beneath him.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 44, shared the short clip with his 5.3 million Instagram followers on Tuesday, September 14.
Bloom captioned the post: "Paddle Boarding With Great Whites [...] When fear becomes your friend and @themalibuartist captures the moment."
The actor's friend Carlos Gauna was responsible for capturing the moment his daredevil pal was circled by the predator.
Carlos later wrote in the comments section of the post: "Awesome day man! You got some good looks of a large juvenile white shark. Happy for you! Something you'll never forget. Very calm shark just chilling in Malibu!"
Needless to say, Orlando's followers wasted no time in flocking to the comments to share their own thoughts.
One person wrote: "Amazing! It must be a fabulous experience."
Another person said that sharks are "one of the most beautiful and misunderstood fish of the ocean."
A third chimed in to say: "Omg you’re insane."
Other fans couldn't help but mention another viral paddleboard-related moment featuring Orlando, which saw the Lord of the Rings actor hitting the waves entirely in the nude.
One person commented alongside a laughing-crying emoji: "Yep we all remember the other paddle boarding [sic] picture."
Another wrote: "You look a lot different this time on a paddelboard [sic] than the last time I saw you on a paddleboard."
It was back in 2016 that Orlando was pictured naked while paddleboarding off the coast of Sardinia, with his partner Katy Perry by his side.
The attention he received when the images began circulating online was such that the actor even felt compelled to insist that his manhood really isn't as large as it may have appeared in the photos.
He said in a 2019 interview with Howard Stern: "It is really not that big. Things are expanded on cameras with a big optical lens. It is an optical illusion."
Orlando said of the hoopla: "The publicist called to say, 'That is not the worst of it. First of all, there were pictures with a block over it'. And you make some jokes like, 'Have you got a black box big enough to cover it.'"
