New parents Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry have been pretty quiet since the birth of their daughter, Daisy, in August 2020 … or at least they had been, until Orlando began making the rounds in the British press.
Quite a few of his comments are raising eyebrows, and it's not hard to understand why. For starters, he told The Guardian that he and Katy aren't having enough sex, that his best kiss was from a girlfriend named Debbie whom he knew when he was 17, and even that his recently deceased dog is a notch above Katy Perry in terms of the great loves of his life.
One might think this is all enough in terms of bombshells, but Orlando got even more detailed with the Sunday Times, and the revelations he offered about his daily routine are downright startling.
Orlando's interview with the Sunday Times is the one that has really surprised a lot of people. The Lord of the Rings star details his morning routine, and it just sounds like … a lot.
He shared that he wakes up at 6:30 every day, checks on his daughter, and then begins chanting.
Orlando says he'll then write a social media post, share it, and then … pretend like he isn't interested in using social media:
"I've had a Buddhist practice since I was 16, so that's infiltrated my whole being. I'll read a bit of Buddhism and then I'll type it up and add it to my [Instagram] Stories. Other than that, I won't look at my phone yet. I don't want to be sucked into the black hole of social media."
Next, Orlando tends to his health:
"I'll just have some green powders that I mix with brain octane oil, a collagen powder for my hair and nails, and some protein. It's all quite L.A. really. Then I'll go for a hike while I listen to some Nirvana or Stone Temple Pilots."
He adds that he likes to hike so that he "earns" his breakfast, and the meal usually goes like this: "By 9 a.m., it's breakfast, which is usually porridge, a little hazelnut milk, cinnamon, vanilla paste, hazelnuts, goji berries, a vegan protein powder and a cup of PG Tips [tea]."
Of course, plenty of people have read Orlando's interview and shared their reactions online. Quite a few people thought the whole thing was fake until they realized it is, in fact, very, very real.
Others have taken to Twitter to share their own daily routines, most of which are pretty funny. One mom shared that her life is basically powered by coffee and the tears of her children.
Plenty of people are also curious about what exactly brain octane oil is. If you're curious, it turns out it's actually a pretty standard thing: The Irish Times describes it as "just a dietary supplement made by an American company called Bulletproof."
