Orlando Bloom pictured with actress mocking ex Katy Perry
Fans have called Orlando Bloom’s recent photo with actress Rachel Lynn Matthews “disrespectful” and “messy.” The 48-year-old Pirates of the Caribbean star was seen at a Halloween party alongside Rachel, 32, who dressed up as his ex, pop star Katy Perry.
Rachel appeared in a blue spacesuit similar to the one Katy wore during her Blue Origin space flight earlier this year. Orlando, with his face painted like a skull, posed for a photo with the actress that quickly went viral on social media.
“Take up space!”
Rachel captioned her Instagram post featuring the look. The outfit referenced a moment when Katy kissed the ground after returning from her 11-minute space trip, which sparked widespread online debate.
Orlando and Katy, 41, ended their relationship earlier this year after being engaged since 2019 and welcoming their daughter, Daisy, five, a year later. Katy has since moved on with Justin Trudeau, while Orlando is rumored to be exploring new relationships.
Some social media users criticized the photo, claiming it lacked respect toward Katy. One Reddit user, Sooodamnfancy, commented:
“I’m honestly lost for words.”
