Orlando Bloom Mocks Perry-Trudeau Romance Buzz with Cheeky Comeback
Avery Sinclair here, armed with sarcasm and skepticism to cut through the fluff.
Another day, another celebrity circus ready to disappoint. Orlando Bloom threw shade at the latest Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau dating rumors by reacting to a spoof headline from The Onion in the most cryptic way possible. On August 2, 2025, TMZ reported that Bloom left a comment under The Onion’s fake story titled “Orlando Bloom Spotted At Dinner With Angela Merkel,” which featured an A.I. generated image of him gazing adoringly across a table lit by candles. The bogus article claimed he “couldn’t keep his eyes off Angela,” and Bloom’s response was a baffling row of symbols: “üëèüëèüëè.”
Yes, that’s the entirety of his clap-back. No words needed when you can deploy incomprehensible characters to signal your amusement and dismissal at the same time. According to The Onion, the idea was to suggest Bloom might have a new political situationship. His reply proves he’s still got a sense of humor about these absurd internet inventions, even if he’s probably done with actual romance headlines for a while.
Meanwhile, the real story going around involves Bloom’s ex, pop superstar Katy Perry, and Canada’s former prime minister, Justin Trudeau. Sources tell TMZ that the two were seen grabbing a casual dinner earlier this week in West Hollywood, sparking speculation about a possible romance. To add fuel to the fire, Trudeau showed up at Perry’s “Lifetimes” tour date on Wednesday, cheering her on from the audience. Fans were quick to whip out their phones, and social media exploded.
Yet insiders are whispering that it’s all innocent friendship and creative collaboration. A close pal of Perry’s insists they’re “just hanging out” and that the former PM is “not dating Katy, he’s just a supportive friend.” Still, the optics of a world-class singer and a high-profile political figure dining together—and then attending a concert—do look suspiciously cozy.
Bloom, for his part, is rumored to be totally unruffled by any of this. The actor has been busy sharing custody duties for his five-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove, and popping up for school drop-offs while his ex explores new connections. After all, juggling A-list parenting and public interest stories requires zen levels of patience.
So where does that leave us? Orlando Bloom’s comedic non-reply to a satirical news story proves he isn’t about to let real-world gossip get under his skin. On the other hand, Perry and Trudeau’s “just friends” narrative might be more entertaining than any official announcement. Either way, we’ll be here, eyes peeled and cynicism fully loaded.
And that is your daily dose of celebrity logic. You’re welcome.
