Killer Joe: Why Orlando Bloom wanted to play a misogynist and a sociopath

ORLANDO BLOOMKaty Perry didn’t mean to go viral last week when she left a comment on Orlando Bloom’s Instagram account.

“I need a season pass for that ass,” Bloom’s on-off girlfriend wrote after he posted an image promoting his new West End role in Killer Joe.

A few minutes went by before she followed up with: “Oops. I meant to send that to you privately.”

Fans reacted with glee to Perry’s apparent mishap, but it’s only when you go and see Killer Joe that you realise what spurred her to make the initial comment.

The play features a great deal of nudity – including from Bloom himself. But, the actor tells BBC News: “It was all handled very tastefully.

“I would say the sensitivity around, not just the nudity, but the characters, the world, it’s all been handled with such integrity, it’s made us all feel safe.

“So whilst we’re in this very intimate house, and you literally have people on stage with you, I think we all feel very safe in the little trailer within that world that we created.”
