Orlando Bloom’s hilarious reaction to Katy Perry’s VMAs performance has fans in stitches.
The 47-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean actor watched as his fiancée, 39, took the stage at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) on Wednesday, September 11.
On the night, the 'I Kissed a Girl' singer also received the prestigious Video Vanguard Award, which celebrates lifetime achievement.
During her speech, Perry said: “There are so many things that have to align to have a long and successful career as an artist. There are no decade-long accidents.”
While performing a medley of her biggest hits, Bloom’s reaction to Perry’s energetic dance moves, including “shaking her butt cheeks,” caught the attention of viewers, sparking a wave of amused comments online.
One person tweeted: "Okay… Orlando Bloom’s reaction to Katy Perry shaking her butt cheeks, spreading eagle, scissoring, and kissing a girl at #VMAs was pretty iconic hahaha!" Another added: "I saw that too. The cameraman didn’t miss."
A third fan wrote: "He looks so stunned."
Many also joked that despite being engaged since 2019 and sharing a four-year-old daughter, Bloom seemed unfamiliar with Perry's songs.
One viewer commented: "Orlando Bloom is reacting to this performance as if he's never heard a single Katy Perry song before what is going on."
Another quipped: "Orlando Bloom does not know a single Katy Perry song. Did you see his face?" referencing Bloom’s past comment about falling in love with "Katheryn," Perry's real name, rather than her music
Bloom previously explained on the What Now? with Trevor Noah podcast: “Her music was everywhere… when I came up, it was just on every radio station. But I wasn't conscious of it... it wasn't what I was listening to. I fell in love with... Katheryn, this girl from Santa Barbara."
Perry recently shared on the Call Her Daddy podcast with Alex Cooper that she rewards Bloom for doing household chores, stating: “If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you’ve done it all, and you’ve done all the dishes, and you’ve closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d**k sucked. I mean like literally. That is my love language."
It’s clear the couple’s spark is still very much alive.
