Hours after news broke of Orlando Bloom's separation from Miranda Kerr, the actor appeared cheerful in a live TV interview with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan

No breakup breakdown here! Orlando Bloom was calm, cool, even cheerful on Friday, Oct. 25, just hours after news broke that the Lord of the Rings actor, 36, had separated from wife Miranda Kerr.

Appearing on Live With Kelly and Michael to promote his Broadway play, Romeo and Juliet — costarring Condola Rashad as his star-crossed lover — the hunky Australian was engaged and lively as he chatted with Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. Neither he nor his hosts addressed the split from Kerr, 30, but they did talk about the couple’s son, 2-year-old Flynn.

“He’s about to go to gym class,” Bloom bragged. “He seems to be just exploding into everything at the moment.”
