Orlando Bloom shares Katy Perry’s reaction to him risking his life in new adventure show

Katy Perry gave her blessing to fiancé Orlando Bloom’s new adventure series, in which he pulls off some seriously intense stunts.

The “Pirates of the Caribbean” star headlines the new Peacock series “Orlando Bloom: To the Edge,” in which he tries extreme sports wingsuiting, free diving and rock climbing — all while testing his own limits.

The actor said when he first signed on, Perry was OK with him taking part in the new adventure show.

“She’s super supportive. We both are of each other,” he told TODAY on April 18.

But Bloom said Perry may not have realized how challenging the experience was for him until after the fact.

“She was like, ‘Listen, there’s insurance. This is for a show...’ But I hadn’t necessarily — I think it wasn’t until I was coming home and she saw me, the look on my face and the feeling I was going through, where because I think whilst, of course there were measures taken to keep my safety — and I wouldn’t recommend anyone do this at home, by the way, any of it, unless you have absolute experts with you,” he said.

He continued, “I would say that she just was like, ‘I think this is going to be fine until she saw me and then she was like, ‘Are you good? Are we good?’”

Bloom admits there was also “a couple of moments” when he too was concerned.

“I really was like, ‘Oh, my life really is in my hands if I don’t kind of do this kind of correctly,” he added.

Perry certainly seems to have found her "Teenage Dream" in Bloom.
