"Paddle Boarding With Great Whites," He captioned the video. "When fear becomes your friend and @themalibuartist captures the moment."

@themalibuartist is the handle of the photographer Carlos Gauna who films sharks in particular. Gauna also posted a video of the moment on his own Instagram.

"In this clip, I filmed @orlandobloom next to a nicely sized juvenile white shark," part of the caption read. "The opportunity to share some of my knowledge with Orlando, knowledge I've gained from the many scientists I've been fortunate enough to talk to and work with, was a highlight of my day. In the end, the real stars of the sea are the sharks. But having Legolas himself nearby. That's pretty cool!"

Meanwhile, Perry joked: "next time go out and put some peanut butter on babe." Although they are engaged, Bloom said during an appearance on NBC's "Today" in 2019 that they are in no rush to get married.

"It's important to me that we are aligned - I've been married and divorced and I don't want to do it again," Bloom said. "And we're both fully aware of that. She's remarkable and so I'm always so impressed with that and I'm encouraged."

Perry and Bloom have a one-year-old daughter, Daisy, together.
