Orlando Bloom back home from Prague

Orlando Bloom

Orlando Bloom has returned home "safely" in the US after production was suspended in Prague due to the health scare. The actor, whose fiancée Katy Perry is expecting their first child, was sent home to be with his family after the Carnival Row producers decided to pull the plug on filming as a "precautionary measure" because of COVID-19.

Taking to his Instagram stories, he shared, "Hey guys, thank you all for your concern. Just to be clear, our production of Carnival Row season two was suspended by Legendary and Amazon Prime Video as a wise precautionary measure due to the events unfolding globally regarding COVID-19.

There have been no reported cases of COVID-19 on our set or on our production. I feel very grateful to have arrived safely home to my family. Be safe and wash your hands (sic)." Orlando previously revealed he was heading to the US to be "quarantined", after leaving Prague, where they were filming.
