Satirical news publication The Onion mocked pop singer Katy Perry's alleged romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau by crafting a romance for her ex, actor Orlando Bloom—and his reaction to the mock headline shows he's being a good sport about the whole thing.

If seeing pop singer Katy Perry engaged in a romantic dinner with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had you making jokes, you're definitely not alone.

Not only did the internet raise a collective eyebrow, but it seems Perry's ex, actor Orlando Bloom, is just as amused by the bizarre pairing.


After The Onion made a wisecrack about the pairing with a hilarious mock headline about Bloom and the former leader of Germany, Bloom couldn't help but guffaw himself.

The Onion reported in its mock story that Bloom was spotted getting romantic with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Along with a photoshop of the two at a candlelight dinner, The Onion wrote:

"'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night—he couldn't keep his eyes off her!' said an insider source who spotted the pair sipping wine, slurping oysters, and splitting a decadent piece of chocolate layer cake at a Michelin-starred restaurant."

Who knew Angela Merkel was such a casanova, or casanovess, or whatever!

The post came just days after Perry and Trudeau were spotted dining together in Toronto following a performance of her ongoing Lifetimes Tour in the Canadian city.

The bizarre link-up itself happened just a few weeks after Perry and Bloom announced their split of their on-again off-again relationship that began in 2016. The two share a daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom.

As rebound relationships go, Perry and Trudeau is a bit of a bizarre pairing and it's sparked plenty of mockery online. But Bloom showed he's being a good sport about it all, and maybe even seeing a bit of the humorous absurdity.

In the comments of The Onion's post, Bloom commented with a string of clapping emojis to give the satirical publication a hats-off for its joke.

And Bloom definitely wasn't the only one who got a kick out of the post.

Tucker Carlson Dragged After His Conspiracy Theory Prediction About Trump's Speech Is Way Off

Former Fox News personality turned far-right podcaster Tucker Carlson was widely mocked after he made a bold prediction about what President Donald Trump would announce during his primetime address to the nation on Wednesday—namely that the U.S. would go to war with Venezuela.

But it turns out Carlson was very, very wrong. The speech was nowhere near that consequential and Trump spent the majority of it complaining about former President Joe Biden.
