Actor Orlando Bloom has responded publicly to a satirical news post poking fun at recent rumors surrounding his former fiancée Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, as reported by Page Six.
Bloom, 48, added a series of clapping hands emojis to a post by The Onion, a satirical news site, which joked that he had been spotted on a dinner date with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The Onion headline read, “Orlando Bloom Spotted At Dinner With Angela Merkel,” and featured a mock report claiming Bloom was seen sharing oysters, wine, and chocolate cake with Merkel at a Michelin-starred restaurant.

The post came just weeks after Bloom and Perry confirmed their breakup.
Bloom and Perry had been engaged for several years before confirming their split last month. The actor’s humorous online engagement with the Onion post comes amid heightened speculation over Perry’s rumored new relationship with Trudeau.
Reports began circulating earlier this week after Perry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, were seen dining together at a restaurant in Montreal.

The pair was later photographed walking Trudeau’s dog, “Nugget,” during a stroll that lasted roughly an hour. No physical displays of affection were reported during the outing.
Further fueling the speculation, Trudeau attended Perry’s “Lifetimes” tour performance at the Bell Centre in Montreal on Wednesday. A source told People magazine on Saturday that Perry and Trudeau felt an “instant connection” and “have a lot in common.”
The source added, “Music is one of many things they can share. Both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult.”
While no official confirmation has been made by either Perry or Trudeau, the appearance of the two together has generated significant attention online.
Bloom’s public reaction to the Onion post has added a layer of levity to an already heavily scrutinized narrative involving high-profile political and entertainment figures.

Trudeau, who stepped down from office in 2024, has remained in the public eye post-premiership. Perry, who has continued touring internationally following her “Lifetimes” album release, has yet to address the relationship rumors directly.
