Orlando Bloom issues two-word response about return of Pirates of the Caribbean

Orlando Bloom has addressed rumours of a sixth Pirates of the Caribbean film, saying he's keen to 'get the band back together'
Orlando Bloom has sparked excitement among Pirates of the Caribbean fans by hinting at a potential comeback for the hit movie series.
Since it launched in 2003 with the acclaimed Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and followed by four sequels culminating in Dead Men Tell No Tales in 2017, there has been much speculation over the future of the swashbuckling films.
‌
Increasing fan anticipation during a segment on This Morning, the actor who famously played Will Turner playfully remarked: "Who knows?"
‌
Not able to give anything away just yet, Orlando teased: "I can't say anything at the moment because I really don't know. They're trying to work out what it would all look like."
He shared his personal wish by adding, "I personally think it would be great to get the band back together. But there are always different ideas, so we'll see where it lands."
The Lord of the Rings star's intriguing comments follow producer Jerry Bruckheimer's own remarks about the future of Pirates of the Caribbean.
In an interview with ComicBook.com regarding the franchise's direction and the fate of Top Gun, Bruckheimer expressed uncertainty: "It's hard to tell. You don't know, you really don't know."
Delving deeper, he continued: "You don't know how they come together. You just don't know. Because with Top Gun, you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can't tell you."
‌
However, he offered a glimmer of certainty amidst the speculation by concluding, "But we're gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don't have to wait for certain actors."
Despite Orlando's eagerness to "get the band back together," he was absent from the fourth instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean.
In a 2010 interview about his potential involvement in the fourth film, he stated: "No, definitely not... I think Will is sort of swimming around with the fish at the bottom of the ocean."
"I had a great time making those movies," he added. "I just really wanted to do different things, but I think it's going to be great."

Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom to have ‘make-or-break talks' after her weeks on tour as pair hit ‘rough patch'

KATY Perry and Orlando Bloom will have "make-or-break talks" in the coming weeks after a strained past few months, The U.S. Sun can report. Katy, 40, and Orlando, 48 - who share 4-year-old daughter Daisy - have been hit with rumors of a split six years after they announced their engagement. 5 5 The singer plans to fly from Australia, where she's been performing for her Lifetimes tour, to their Montecito, California home to spend the July 4 holiday with Orlando and family. Despite rumors the couple is totally over, a source said: "no one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando." "They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets. "But Katy especially doesn't want to just give up," the source continued. After spending nearly all of June Down Under, Katy's last performance in Australia will be in Adelaide on June 30. She has a break until her July 10 date in Denver, Colorado. And after his U.S. press tour promoting Deep Cover with just dog Biggie Smalls, Orlando also appears to have some time off for Independence Day. Perry was "deeply rocked" by her comeback album 143 being critically panned, "despite putting her heart and soul into the project," the source claimed. She was also slammed for taking part in the Blue Origin space flight this spring. (According to a separate source, Orlando disagreed with her decision to take part in the Jeff Bezos-backed journey, though he and Daisy supported her for the takeoff in Texas.) And she has "struggled with being on the road" since April for her tour. Watch first video inside Blue Origin space trip as Katy Perry and crew hang upside down & marvel at the moon The preparation, rehearsals and traveling have caused the "biggest disruption" to the settled life she had as a partner to Orlando. The source said: "Katy and Orlando have been disconnected for a while now, and with their work commitments have been living separate lives. "The plan is for them to reunite over the July 4 break. She has mentioned jetting back from Australia to spend time with Orlando, Daisy, her sister Angela and her kids. "They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months. "It has been 'go, go, go' and they thrived when they enjoyed a more settled life, being together in the same place for a length of time. But that has just not happened." Katy Perry & Orlando Bloom's Relationship Timeline Fans have followed Katy and Orlando's relationship since it began in 2016. Here's a breakdown of their romance. The lovebirds met in January 2016 at a Golden Globes afterparty. That May, the pair made their relationship Instagram official. Katy and Orlando broke up in February 2017, which their reps confirmed after fans noticed they kept their distance at the Vanity Fair Oscars party. They reunited a year later on vacation in Prague. In September 2018, the duo made their red carpet debut at the Gala for the Global Ocean at the Opera of Monte-Carlo in Monaco. Orlando popped the question on Valentine's Day the following year. In March 2019, Orlando revealed he sold his home and had moved in with Katy. In March 2020, the couple announced they were expecting their first child together, whom they welcomed on August 26. Shortly before their daughter Daisy Dove's second birthday, Katy teased that she wanted to have more children with her fiance. In May 2024, Katy had fans convinced she was pregnant again when she posted a photo of her holding a positive pregnancy test. She followed with throwback photos and videos of her sharing the news of her first pregnancy. NEVER REALLY OVER Despite the obstacles, the source insisted Katy and Orlando have not totally called it quits. "It is quite a lot more complicated than that. They have been apart for their longest amount of time since they have been together. "But there is still a huge amount of love between them, and there is still hope that they can ride out this rough patch. "Anyone in long term relationships goes through challenges, and many times when things appear to be done, couples reconnect and make things work. "The type of people they are, there still remains a lot of hope. Katy has never been happier in her life than with Orlando. "If this reunion can revive those times, then they could come through this." 5 5

Alison Hammond defended by fans after truly toxic comment from cruel troll

This Morning star Alison Hammond was left shocked when a social media troll unleashed toxic, unprovoked comments against her - but she was swiftly supported by her fans Alison Hammond was defended by her fans after coming under a brutal attack from an online troll. The 50-year-old TV host has been in the spotlight for decades after first finding fame on Big Brother in 2002. She has since built up an impressive hosting career on the small screen - landing broadcasting roles including on ITV's This Morning and Channel 4's The Great British Bake Off. As her workload has increased, Alison has enjoyed support and adoration from fans. ‌ She has even made a name on an international front as her light hearted interviews with major Hollywood stars have gone viral, making her recognisable to many around the world. However, her increased profile has also attracted negative comments and Alison has at times been the victim of toxic online comments. ‌ On social media, Alison commands an impressive following - with almost 440,000 appreciating her content on X alone. At the top of her feed, she has a video clip from 2021 showing her casually sitting on a slow moving mini tractor. An accompanying caption states: "Rolling into My Holidays!" alongside a shades wearing emoji face. On Friday, a fellow user unexpectedly lashed out at the star, writing: "Any time we see you are on TV we switch channels as you turn our stomachs being so fat and repulsive with a huge mouth." Alison reacted to the post, quote tweeting it and writing simply "Wow!" in shock. While the initial message was cruel, Alison quickly found herself on the receiving end of positive messages as many fans rallied around to shower her with complements. One wrote in reaction: "Extremely mean and rude. I love watching you, you bring a sparkle to Bake Off and look after the bakers when they are feeling a tad stressed and upset. Plus the fall off the counter was epic." Another typed: "Alison you know how special and fantastic you are one of life's gems always wanting to make people smile and these disgusting people are not worth giving airtime too you keep being you xx love you bab." ‌ And another revealed they often turn to classic clips of the former reality star to help boost their mood, writing: "Their loss! I watch reels of you to pick me up, the Harrison Ford & Ryan Reynolds interview is legendary." Last month, Alison revealed she has a sense of pride about the TV work she does and the fact that some fans have been left uplifted by her interviews. ‌ She told The Times: "It's so important to have some light relief and a little bit of happiness in your life. If that comes through me taking the mickey out of a big star in an interview — like I did with Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford or Hugh Jackman — then brilliant, I say." The TV star went on to explain that she has been told by fans how much she has helped them. She said: "I get letters from people saying that they were on the brink of suicide before they watched one of my interviews." She also opened up about how exercise has been helpful for her own mental health. She revealed: "If I'm not filming, the first thing I do — usually several hours before [my son] Aidan wakes up — is go to the gym, where I'll do some heavy lifting. "I've been doing weights for ten years now and I can deadlift 65kg. It's good for my mental health and to prevent osteoporosis. You've got to keep on top of things."

'My Egyptian toyboy husband swore me off sex at 86 - but I won't divorce him'

Iris Jones, 86 shocked This Morning viewers with details of her sex life with Egyptian toyboy, but now she says she is "agony aunt" to other women who have heart their broken by much younger men A pensioner who boasted on TV about romps with her Egyptian toyboy says she has sworn off sex for good after their acrimonious split. Iris Jones, 86, stunned This Morning viewers when she spilled the beans about her steamy antics with Mohamed Ibrahim, 40. She was open about their use of K-Y Jelly and said their nights of passion left her feeling 'saddle-sore'. ‌ She married Mohamed, 46 years her junior, in 2020 in Cairo after meeting him on social media the year before. Her new husband moved to the UK in 2021, but they split in 2023. And now she says: 'The idea of sex now makes my stomach turn. I'm not interested in men at all, not in companionship with them and certainly not sex with them. ‌ 'My experience with Mohamed has put me off relationships for life. I wish I'd never met him.' Iris, a former legal secretary, wed Mohamed on her third visit to Cairo in a civil ceremony, with only his dad in attendance as a witness. Iris, who has two sons, Stephen, 59, and Darren, 58, says before she got married Stephen begged her not to do anything rash. Even the wedding reception being a meal in McDonald's did not put her off, she says, adding: 'I didn't care. I thought I was madly in love, so I would have married him anywhere.' But her desire turned to disdain and she kicked Mohamed out following 'non-stop arguing'. She says: 'I finally realised I had enough. I was so tired from all the housework and cleaning up after him that the physical side dwindled to nothing. 'Mohamed was only with me for my money. I can see that now, and I look back and think, 'How could I have been so stupid?' The Mohamed I met in Egypt was Prince Charming, but living in my bungalow he was like the Prince of Darkness.' Bank statements show Iris transferred Mohamed thousands over the course of a year, which she claims were loans he has not repaid – which Mohamed disputes. ‌ The last time she had any contact with her husband, she says, was when she emailed him last year asking for his address so she could speak to the Home Office about his stay in the UK. She says: 'All I got back was him telling me his solicitor's details. I did see him in my local Tesco a few months after I chucked him out. 'When he saw me he tried to run away and hide. I have asked for the money back but I've now made peace with the fact I will never see it again. I don't want to see him again either, but I don't hate him. 'He hasn't ruined my life. I have two lovely sons, two lovely daughters-in-law – a great family life. ‌ 'But I feel so much regret for the pain I caused them. They begged me not to marry him. But I didn't listen.' Despite the acrimony, divorce is not on the cards, Iris – who has been divorced before – reveals. She insists: 'I'm not paying out for a divorce. I'm not spending any more money on him. It would cost me more to divorce him than to stay married and I don't want to lose any more money.' ‌ Since her split, Iris says women who tell her they have been conned by romantic partners have contacted her asking for advice. She says: 'I feel like an agony aunt to them. It's very sad that what's happened to me is so common. Some age gap relationships can work. But I would urge women to be careful of relationships with much younger men. They can be genuine but mine wasn't.' These days Iris, who lives in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, has replaced her passion for sex with a new hobby. She reveals: 'I like drawing caricatures. I find it really therapeutic. I do it every day and post my pictures on social media. ‌ 'I do draw Mohamed all the time – one drawing shows him as a wolf in sheep's clothing.' When the couple appeared on This Morning, Mohamed told hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby: 'I love Iris to the point of madness.' He is still in the UK, and says: 'I have been employed legally in England as a welder in construction and as a security guard. 'I have worked hard I have paid tax and have never claimed any benefits since being here in this country. I have been accused of taking [thousands], where is the evidence? I never asked [Iris] for money. I was no scammer. I paid her housekeeping every month.'
