Orlando Bloom gets a tattoo of his dog’s name on his chest
The actor rose to fame through blockbusters, including Lord Of The Rings and the Pirates Of the Caribbean franchises. Bloom, who married Katy Perry five years ago, is a well-established Hollywood figure and has a sprawling £10.2million ($14.2million) home in California. A number of parallels have been drawn between the 44-year-old and Meghan in recent years.
Bloom and Meghan have been sighted at celebrity parties and are believed to be in similar Hollywood circles.
They both attended the wedding of the Duchess’ friend Misha Nonoo, who allegedly set her up with Prince Harry on a blind date.
They have also raised concerns about their treatment by the press in recent years.
During Meghan and Harry’s interview with Oprah, the Sussexes discussed the impact of being in the public spotlight and the effects it had on their mental health.

Similarly, Bloom was “frustrated and angry” when a naked photograph of him on a paddleboard was taken by the paparazzi.
After the 2016 snap of the actor was published by several publications, sources close to Bloom told the Daily Mirror he was “mortified”.
HollywoodLife claimed the star’s wife was “very supportive and understanding of his frustration and anger”.
They claimed Perry was “a calming voice” in the wake of the “embarrassing situation”.

Concern about being in the public eye isn’t the only thing to have united Bloom and Meghan.
On The Tig, a lifestyle blog run by the Duchess until 2017, she regularly divulged health, dietary and fitness tips.
In 2018, Meghan told Best Health that she was “vegan during the week” and then allowed herself “a little bit more flexibility” on the weekend.
Despite restricting her food intake, she was keen to point out: “It’s not a diet, it’s lifestyle eating.”

A 2019 Insider article claimed Meghan’s eating habits were “vegan, like, 80 percent of the time and then pescatarian”.
It was also claimed that the Duchess went gluten-free during certain points of her life, in a 2018 Delish article.
Meghan also admitted her love for green juice – a blended mix of apple, ginger, kale, lemon and spinach.
Bloom shared similar health tips during an interview with the Sunday Times magazine, this weekend.

The health and fitness fanatic revealed he has “craved routine” since the birth of his second child, Daisy Dove, last August.
Bloom also has a 10-year-old son, Flynn with his ex-wife Miranda Kerr, who he was married to for three years.
The actor said he liked to “earn” his breakfast, so started with an energy-boosting snack – a mix of “some green powders” with brain octane oil and protein.
After consuming the drink, he went for a long hike while listening to “some Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots”.

After exercising, Bloom eats a mixture of porridge with hazelnut milk, cinnamon, vanilla past, hazelnuts, goji berries and vegan protein powder.
In the past, Meghan has professed her love for acai bowls – a similar blend of fruit and oats.
Bloom admitted he was “90 percent plant-based” and would “only eat a really good piece of red meat” once a month.
In recent years, he found it difficult to consume animal products after falling in love with cows.

He said: “I sometimes look at a cow and think, ‘That is the most beautiful thing ever.’”
Bloom believes there will be “some point in time” where we are unable to “believe we used to eat meat”.
The actor also moved to Montecito, California, last year, and was reported to be nearby “neighbours” of Meghan and Prince Harry.
The Sussexes reportedly bagged the mansion, which is situated on 7.4 acres of land, for £10.5million ($14.6million)
Bloom and Perry bought their home for £10.2million ($14.2million) according to documents obtained by Variety.
