People in stitches at Orlando Bloom's awkward reaction to Katy Perry's VMAs performance

Fans are loving Orlando Bloom's awkwardly brilliant reaction to Katy Perry's VMAs performance.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star, 47, watched on as his superstar fiancée, 39, took to the stage at this year's MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) on Wednesday (11 September).

On the night, the 'I Kissed a Girl' singer also received the Video Vanguard award, which recognises lifetime achievement.

“There are so many things that have to align to have a long and successful career as an artist,” Perry said in her speech. “There are no decade-long accidents.”

Meanwhile, during her performance earlier where she performed a compilation of her biggest hits, people were left in stitches after spotting her potential soon-to-be hubby giving a hilarious reaction to 'Perry shaking her butt cheeks'.

"Okay… Orlando Bloom’s reaction to Katy Perry shaking her butt cheeks, spreading eagle, scissoring and kissing a girl at #VMAs was pretty iconic hahaha!" one viewer tweeted.

Another added: "I saw that too. The cameraman didn’t miss."

While a third wrote: "He looks so stunned."

This comes after fans also joked that Bloom didn't know a single Perry song, despite having been engaged since 2019 and sharing a four-year-old daughter with her.

"Orlando Bloom is reacting to this performance as if he's never heard a single Katy Perry song before what is going on," one viewer commented.

"Orlando Bloom does not know a single Katy Perry song did you see his face," a second quipped after referencing a previous quote he made about his partner: "He already told you people he didn't fall in love with Katy he fell in love with Katheryn."

Bloom once said on the What Now? with Trevor Noah podcast: "Her music was everywhere ... when I came up, it was just on every radio station.

"But I wasn't conscious of like... it wasn't what I was listening to.

"I fell in love with ... Katheryn, this girl from Santa Barbara."

Well, Perry recently opened up on her relationship with the actor and how she will reward him sexually for doing chores around the house.

During an interview on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, the singer said: "If I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you've done it all, and you've done all the dishes, and you've closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d**k sucked.

"I mean like literally. That is my love language. I don't need a red Ferrari! I can buy a red Ferrari.

"Just do the f**king dishes. I will suck your d**k! It's that easy."

At least it seems the spark is very much still alive in their relationship.
