Orlando Bloom's Poodle Steals the Show During Live Interview!

Orlando, United States - Orlando Bloom brought a delightful touch of chaos to the „Today“ show earlier today when his feisty teacup poodle, Biggie Smalls, stole the spotlight during his interview with Savannah Guthrie. Bloom was discussing his illustrious career, including his iconic role as Legolas in „The Lord of the Rings,“ when the little pooch began barking enthusiastically off-camera, much to everyone’s amusement. The adorable moment turned into quite the spectacle, with Bloom introducing Biggie to the audience and sharing that he takes the dog everywhere he goes. Typically quiet, Biggie seemed to be grappling with a case of separation anxiety today, a relatable struggle as Bloom described him as his „emotional support animal“ and Dakota Johnson, who was off-stage, playfully dubbed him the “nanny” of the day.Entertainment Now reports.

This wasn’t just any ordinary appearance. Bloom was also there to chat about his new movie, „The Cut,“ where he portrays an Irish boxer. However, it seemed that Biggie had other ideas, barking again and jolting the conversation back to him. Under the playful banter about Biggie, Guthrie humorously suggested that Johnson should consider finding a new owner for the excitable pup, prompting laughs all around. All the while, Bloom expressed his gratitude to Johnson for her help in wrangling Biggie back into his arms, further solidifying the bond this star-studded crew has with their beloved pets.Today reports.

A Troubling Past

While today’s antics warmed hearts, it’s important to reflect on a more somber chapter in Bloom’s life. He and his partner, Katy Perry, faced distress when their previous teacup poodle, Mighty, went missing in July 2020. After a desperate week-long search, which involved hiring a professional pet detective and putting up lost dog posters, the couple found Mighty’s collar, revealing the heartbreaking news that he had died. Bloom memorialized his lost companion with a heartfelt tattoo bearing Mighty’s name coupled with an ace of spades symbol over his heart. He bravely recalled the experience as a „waking nightmare,“ expressing his gratitude to neighbors who supported the search, and the couple together shared their grief over this loss with fans online.The Sun reports.

Despite the past heartache, Bloom continues to surround himself with love, both from his pets and his growing family. He and Perry are thrilled to embrace parenthood, sharing in their journey together while nurturing their newfound love for Biggie. As we move forward, it seems there’s nothing quite like the companionship of a four-legged friend to lighten the load and bring joy, both on-screen and off. Perhaps that’s why when Biggie decided to make an unscheduled cameo on air, it felt a little like a dog-gone good time for everyone watching!
