Orlando Bloom has horrified fans after he admitted that he and Katy Perry have snot-sucking competitions with their baby daughter Daisy.
Many of the 44-year-old’s followers were left totally repulsed after he shared some intimate details about the joys of being a father online.
The actor, who welcomed his first child with Katy in August 2020, commented on a recent Instagram post from the parenting company Frida Baby about its product, the NoseFrida Snotsucker.
The parenting tool is designed to pull mucus right out of a baby’s nose – and Orlando couldn’t stop gushing over it.
After placing a syringe that is connected to a long tube in the baby’s nostril, parents put the other end in their mouth and literally suck the boogers right out. There is a sponge in the syringe that stops the boogers from going up the tube and into your mouth – however the process has still left many people on Instagram appalled.
According to Orlando, he and his girlfriend are huge fans of the item, and they even use it to compete to see who can get the biggest booger out of their one-year-old daughter’s nose – and his revelation made some of his supporters ‘want to gag.’

‘I’ve sucked out so much snot with this thing,’ he wrote. ‘Katy and I take turns to see who can get out the biggest booger.
‘So far she’s winning or maybe that means she’s losing? Lol parenthood is weird but at least our daughter can breathe at night.’
‘Raise your hand if you swore you’d never suck snot as a parent,’ the brand captioned the video.
According to Frida Baby, the ‘natural’ and ‘hygienic’ item was created by doctors.
‘The Frida NoseFrida is your go-to natural, hygienic baby booger buster,’ their website reads.
‘It’s totally safe (for parents AND baby), so you can say “sayonara” to snotty noses.
‘NoseFrida creates a seal with the outside of the baby’s nostril for gentle snot-suckin’.
‘Disposable filters are clinically proven to prevent the transfer of mucus or bacterial germs to the snot sucker when clearing stuffy noses.’
Popular Instagram account CommentsByCelebs shared a screenshot of Orlando’s message, and many people took to the comment section to share their thoughts.
Although some fellow-parents totally understood where he was coming from, others were pretty disgusted by his comment.
‘That made me want to gag,’ one person wrote. Another joked, ‘This is birth control.’
Someone else shared a terrifying incident that happened to them while using the product.
He and Katy welcomed their daughter, Daisy, in August 2020 and she has since called the Lord of the Rings star an ‘amazing and incredible’ dad
Although some fellow-parents totally understood where he was coming from, others were pretty disgusted by his comment, with one writing that it made them ‘want to gag’
‘It’s all fun and a wonderful invention until the little blue sponge isn’t in all the way and you get a mouth full of your little kids snot. #Truestory,’ they said.
‘I tried this and I couldn’t do it. My stomach couldn’t handle it,’ another person commented.
‘This thing seriously freaks me out, but if it’s good enough for Katy and Orlando then it’s good enough for me,’ a fifth comment read.
‘Used to be so grossed out. Now I love to see a huge booger come out. So satisfying!’ another parent wrote.
‘Literally the best baby invention,’ someone else agreed.
Orlando and Katy welcomed Daisy on August 26, 2021, and after she was born, Katy called becoming a mom the ‘best decision she ever made in her life.’
She told Jimmy Kimmel during an appearance on his show in February 2021 that Orlando was by her side the entire time she gave birth, and that he was ‘such a great support.’
‘We had, like, a little boombox. He was there, and he was so wonderful and just holding my hand and looking into my eyes,’ she gushed.
Orlando is also a dad to a 10-year-son that he shares with his ex-wife Miranda Kerr, and Katy explained that him already having that experience has definitely helped.
‘As much as I was a little bit like, “I don’t need to hear all those stories,” they actually helped,’ she explained. ‘Like, “Oh, you’ve had a run at this. You know how to do this.”
‘He’s been amazing, incredible, and we’re so in love and we’re so grateful.’
