Orlando Bloom reacts to Katy Perry at the VMAs

Orlando Bloom caught looking *very* awkward while Katy Perry danced erotically at the VMAs

People think he’s a fake fan because he only sang along to ‘I Kissed A Girl’


Orlando Bloom was spotted looking deeply confused while Katy Perry danced erotically during her 10-minute-long performance at the VMAs.

The crowd of celebs cheered on Katy Perry during the medley of her mega hits last night. However, Orlando Bloom’s reaction to his fiancée’s performance was a bit more, ahem, subdued. His reactions were at best confused, and at worst extremely awkward.

The climax of Katy’s performance was when she and the rapper Doechii performed part of their new song, I’m His, He’s Mine, which will feature on Katy’s upcoming album 143. Their performance was a little PG-13, to say the least. The singers twerked, acted as if they were about to kiss, and then flat-out scissored.

Orlando Bloom looks like he’s cringing, then as the camera zooms in on him, he starts smiling and clapping.

Later, the crowds practically went warm, wet and wild when Katy sang California Gurls. However, when the camera cut to Orlando Bloom, he wasn’t screaming or crying or throwing up. Instead, he nodded along to Californian Gurls with a perplexed expression on his face.

Orlando Bloom did appear to be more of a fan of the national anthem that is I Kissed A Girl (valid). He performed the pinnacle of dad dancing by shuffling from side to side, clapping and mouthing the words.

Orlando Bloom must have enjoyed watching Katy Perry at the VMAs overall, though, because he flat-out made out with her on stage afterwards.

People on X were deeply unimpressed by Orlando Bloom’s lack of enthusiasm during Katy Perry’s VMAs performance.

One X user wrote: “Orlando Bloom is reacting to this performance as if he’s never heard a single Katy Perry song before what is going on.”

Another added: “That was his Oscar loser face, pretending it’s all good when he’s really dying inside.”

I wonder if Orlando Bloom did the dishes once they got home x
