And that feeling, and that\u2019s what keeps me pushing forward. Why am I doing this? Why do I love it? And I think it\u2019s because I never feel so alive as being so close to death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nOrlando recently praised Katy for her support when he was undertaking dangerous stunts for the show.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told E! News: &#8220;We both respect each other&#8217;s paths and journeys and creative endeavors. And I think she knew that this was something that was on my path and something I&#8217;d chosen. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;She understood that it was going to be something that would be, pardon the pun, but the wind beneath my wings in some ways and that it was necessary for me. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;She&#8217;s wonderful in that way, in that regard. she&#8217;s very supportive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/orlando-bloom-saved-late-queen-elizabeth-1402998.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>16 July 2024 Orlando Bloom believes the late Queen Elizabeth &#8220;saved&#8221; his life.
