Orlando Blooms addressed the rumors that he is dating Kendall Jenner. According to PEOPLE, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor joked about the rumors as he was giving his acceptance speech for the Britannia Humanitarian Award last Friday at Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. Orlando was reportedly honored for his work with disaster relief organization UNICEF.
Bloom started his speech saying, "I wanted the opportunity to clear this up, I actually did not 'connect' with Justin Bieber."
And as for the dating rumors running around, this is what Orlando got to say, "And I don't know Kendall Jenner, but if anyone has her number I would love it."
In July 2014, Bloom and Bieber allegedly got into a fight at Cipriani restaurant in Ibiza, Spain.
According to USA Today, Robert Downey Jr. introduced Bloom in a humorous approach by saying, "the award went to someone who's compassionate when he's not swinging at Justin Bieber or dating Kendall Jenner."
That is why as soon as Bloom got into the stage he started his speech by addressing the rumors about him. After his humorous introduction speech, Bloom then gave a touching message about his work with UNICEF.
Bloom said, "One of the greatest rewards for being in films that kids have seen around the world is the opportunity to connect with children in some of the most remote and troubled parts of the world, even if they may have only seen a pirated version of Pirates of the Caribbean."
He continued, "But seriously, to witness their boundless spirit, their sense of humor, their ability to adapt and overcome in the face of absolutely horrendous circumstances is truly inspiring."
And everyone was in awe after hearing the reason why Bloom is passionate about this cause and why he gives back. Orlando said that, "The bravery of the children I've witnessed at refugee camps is beyond inspiring. What I've experienced with UNICEF is an incredible sense of humanity... Being a father, I can't imagine how I would navigate some of the situations that some of these families experience."
Bloom reportedly dedicated his award to some children he met along in his travels.
