Orlando Bloom has urged his followers to 'cherish the memories and moments' they have with their family after paying tribute to his grandmother.
The 41-year-old actor penned a touching tribute to beloved Dorrie, revealing the 98-year-old is seriously ill, so suggested his fans should 'love and give love' according to DailyMail.
He wrote alongside a series of pictures of himself and his grandma: 'Cherish the memories and moments and celebrate and respect the life...
'We all smile we live we laugh and we embrace a grandmother a mother a sister an aunt a wife a girlfriend a daughter a friend a child a newborn we are born we grow old we get sick and we die this we know so love and give love.(sic)'
The actor admitted he had 'shed a tear or two' when reflecting on happier times with Dorrie and will always be grateful to have shared a part of her life.
He added on the Instagram post: '98 years and I'm so glad I got to be a part of them and as I lie awake pondering and knowing that she too will pass soon now perhaps before I wake I pray I smile.
'I shed a tear or two at the memories of Sunday lunch with Yorkshire pudding (she made the best) and roast potatoes and beans from the allotment and pudding and humbugs and walks in the fields or alone the canals and knitted cardigans the love and history I am so grateful for my grandma Dorrie I love you.(sic)'
In the comments of his post, Orlando was given some support from his girlfriend Katy Perry. She wrote: 'Love you angel.'
His post comes after People Magazine claimed the actor is interested in making it last with the 33-year-old songstress by popping the question.
'Orlando doesn't have a ring yet but has been talking about the future,' said a source. 'Everyone would be excited if they got engaged. Katy is wonderful!'
And he thinks she would make a great wife. 'He always said he would absolutely get married again, and it seems Katy could be it. They both seem very happy,' said the friend.
This is round two for Katy and Orlando who first got together in January of 2016. They stayed together for a little over a year before splitting in February 2017, but then resumed their relationship in April of this year.
