Orlando Bloom Leans on Carl Jung Theories After Katy Perry Breakup

Orlando Bloom is going deep—Jungian deep—just days after his split from Katy Perry hit headlines. Celebrity Storm’s insider sources confirm that Bloom has been sharing a steady stream of Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung quotes on Instagram, sparking speculation that he’s turning to analytical psychology for post-breakup clarity.
TMZ first spotted Orlando’s posts, which riff on loneliness, self-reflection and the quest for authentic communication. One standout share reads, “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself,” while another warns, “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls.” Sources close to Bloom tell People Magazine that these posts were carefully curated—and timed about a week after TMZ confirmed his split from Perry.
As he quotes Jung’s “Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge” and mulls “The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases,” insiders say Bloom may be processing his high-profile romance in public view. His analytical detour arrives just after he was spotted flying solo at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s lavish wedding (US Weekly), where he reportedly planned to keep the party low-key and skip the late-night hotel rendezvous.
Meanwhile, Katy Perry has been dropping her own subtle hints. Days before Bloom’s Jung spotlight, Perry posted a cheeky selfie with a grin-worthy quokka in Australia, captioning it “mood: Quokka.” Industry watchers see that lighthearted moment as her way of reshaping the narrative, while both stars steer clear of direct comments on the split.
Between Jung’s wisdom and a photo op with an impossibly happy marsupial, the exes seem to be charting different paths toward healing. Celebrity behavior analysts tell Celebrity Storm that Orlando’s public dive into Jung could signal a shift toward inner work—and perhaps set the stage for a new creative chapter.
What’s next? Will Bloom channel more Jung and pen a reflective memoir, or will Katy’s quokka mood evolve into an Australian tour announcement? Stay tuned for our next deep dive.
