Actor Orlando Bloom, 46, will be cheering on his fiancee Katy Perry, 38, from afar as she performs at the Coronation Concert in London on May 7. The British native revealed this in an interview with “Entertainment Tonight”.
Speaking at CinemaCon 2023 in Las Vegas, the ‘Lord of the Rings’ star said, “My girl will be singing, it’s fun. I won’t be able to make it, unfortunately,” Bloom said. However, he described the fact that his loved one was performing there as “cool”. Orlando Bloom further emphasized: “She does these big, historical things. It’s wonderful. She also sang for the President. She does that.” He was reminiscent of the inauguration of US President Joe Biden (80) in January 2021. At that time Katy Perry had performed her hit “Firework”. Orlando Bloom then quipped, “Who’s left? Maybe the Pope.” The coronation concert was definitely “exciting”.
Katy Perry had previously spoken to “Entertainment Tonight” about her engagement on the coronation weekend. She was “grateful” to be part of the concert. “I met his future majesty a few years ago.” He appointed her one of the ambassadors for his organization “The British Asian Trust”. The organization campaigns against child trafficking. With her appearance in Great Britain she wanted to act as an ambassador and show: “Hey, that’s me from the USA.”
The official coronation of Charles III. and his wife Camilla (75) will take place on May 6th at Westminster Abbey. A day later there is the coronation concert at Windsor Castle. In addition to Katy Perry, there are many stars, such as the British group Take That and singer Lionel Richie (73). “Paddington” actor Hugh Bonneville (59) moderates the show.
