It was a weird time for us all, and Bloom is finally explaining himself—saying he had no idea photographers were present.
"Yes, it was extremely surprising, I wouldn't have put myself in that position if I'd thought it would happen," he told Elle UK. "I've been photographed a million times in a million different ways. I have a good radar. We'd been completely alone for five days. Nothing around us. There was no way anyone could get anything. So I had a moment of feeling free... What can I tell you? Note to self: you're never free. Ha!"

By the way, when it comes to Bloom's breakup with Perry, it sounds like everything is decidedly drama-free. "We're friends, it's good," he said. "We're all grown-up. She happens to be someone who is very visible, but I don't think anybody cares about what I'm up to. Nor should they. It's between us. It's better to set an example for kids and show that [breakups] don't have to be about hate."
Too true.
