Orlando Bloom: Katy Perry talked me into playing Prince Harry for HBO Max's The Prince

The Hollywood Reporter

“Initially, I was like, ‘Hmm, how do I feel about this?’ because I'm a British boy who's actually very proud of my roots,” Bloom tells The Hollywood Reporter. “I've always understood it as part of my heritage and background, and I'm not someone who wants to poke fun at anyone normally, but this was so clever, witty and affectionately done.” But he says his fiancée talked him into taking the role. “Katy was like, ‘You've got to do this. This is genius,'" he said.
