Orlando Bloom leaves fans shocked as he paddleboards just yards from great white SHARK in terrifying video
ORLANDO Bloom left fans shocked as he paddleboarded just yards away from a great white shark in Malibu.
The fearless actor, 44, seemed unbothered as he floated by while a huge "juvenile white shark" circled in the water below.
The Lord Of The Rings star went shirtless and wore a black cap as he bent down to look at the shark.
Great whites are believed to be responsible for up to half of the 100-plus annual shark attacks worldwide.
Most of these are not fatal and researchers believe they "sample bite" due to curiosity, then release their human target.
Experts claimed fatal attacks are cases of mistaken identity as swimmers and surfers can look like seals when seen from below.
Local photographer Carlos Gauna managed to capture Orlando's insane experience in a minute-long video.
Orlando posted the awe-inspiring clip on Instagram on Tuesday and wrote: "Paddle Boarding With Great Whites.
"'When fear becomes your friend and @themalibuartist captures the moment."
One fan wrote, "Omg you are insane!!!" while another added: "This is WILD."
Orlando turned around in one photo and covered his butt with a cheeky peach emoji.
