Dave M. Benett/VF17/WireImageIt certainly seems like Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom are back together. Katy has been posting photos of them in Italy together — first meeting the Pope and later visiting the Colosseum.
In a new interview with the Times of London, Orlando stops short of confirming they are “on again,” but he does discuss how their relationship initially took him by surprise.
“She’s a remarkable human being, actually,” the British actor says. “Completely surprising, because I am not her demographic. I am a little older than her, so I wasn’t someone overly familiar with her artistic endeavors when we met.”
He adds, “I wouldn’t have imagined anything happening. And, you know, when you get hit sideways you get hit sideways. You don’t pick who you fall in love with. And then you come around and there’s all sorts of things that happen in between, right?”
Orlando says that Katy and he had a “remarkable connection,” but indicated that their busy schedules make things difficult.
“She’s on tour, I’m doing a play, everything evolves,” he says. “I have a lot of respect for her and a lot of deep feeling. So we will see.”
Orlando is currently starring in a new play, Killer Joe, on London’s West End.
