Orlando Bloom has been posting philosophical quotes on Instagram following his split from Katy Perry, but the actor's attempts to appear deep and lonely have been met with skepticism. The 'Lord of the Rings' star shared a Carl Jung quote about loneliness, as well as a Buddhist saying about new beginnings, in what critics see as a bid for public sympathy.
Bloom recently attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's Venetian wedding as a bachelor, where he was photographed mingling with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Sydney Sweeney. His social media activity comes amid a very public breakup with Perry, with whom he shares a child.
The actor's romantic history includes relationships with Miranda Kerr, Penelope Cruz, Kate Bosworth, and a rumoured fling with Selena Gomez. His past antics, such as naked paddleboarding, have not endeared him to those who find his current 'lonely' persona unconvincing.
Meanwhile, Perry has been emotional on stage, thanking fans for their support. The contrast between the two stars' public reactions has led some to question why Bloom is portrayed as the victim while Perry faces criticism.
