Orlando Bloom Finally Addresses His Katy Perry Split and Those Nude Photos

In the May of ELLE U.K. (on sale Apr. 13), the actor spoke at lenght for the first time about being unknowingly photographed while paddle boarding naked last year. At the time, Orlando Bloom joked about the experience by posting an Instagram video of himself running on a pier, writing, "When you are running after  the guy who stole your swimming trunks."

Thus, it is not as if he planned to have pictures of his privacy all over the internet. In fact, Bloom admits it "was extremely surprising" to learn the paparazzi had snapped photos during his private vacation with then-girlfriend Katy Perry. "I would not have put myself in that position if I thought it would happen. I have been photographed a million times in a million different ways. I have a good radar. We have been completely alone for five days—nothing around us. There was no way anyone could get anything," He recalls back. "I had a moment of feeling free."

What is done is done. "What can I tell you?" Bloom asks. "Note to self: You are never free.

The actor did feel free to talk about Perry, though. Talking about their breakup for the first time, He insists, "We are friends. It is good. We are all adults with matured mind set.

 She happens to be someone who is very visible, but I do not think anybody cares about what I am up to, It is between us. It is better to set an example for kids and show that [breakups] do not have to be about hate.

It is a lesson He learned after splitting with Miranda Kerr in 2013 after three years of marriage. Bloom is still close to his ex-wife and not just for their 6-year-old son's sake. "With Miranda, there was a sense that I do not want my son to go back through the internet where people made up lies. Miranda and I have a wonderful relationship, the actor says. "We cooperate really well as co-parent.

That does not mean they agree on everything, however. Kerr is set to marry Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel—and last July, the couple announced their engagement in Instagram, complete with a custom Bitmojis and a special Snapchat filter. "I am not a millennial. They live their lives through their phones. What happens to my son? How is he going to have a real relationship if it is all happening on his phone?" Bloom asks ELLE U.K. "Disconnecting is greatly important."
