The 'Lord Of The Rings' actor reminisced about how he and Perry met and revealed not everything is always as perfect as it seems.

"[We] both meet each other with understanding where we came from, what we worked to do, what we had to do to get to where we got to," Bloom said on the podcast 'What Now? With Trevor Noah.' "[Perry] definitely demands that I evolve, right? And I feel I do the same for her. And that makes for fireworks, pardon the pun, but it also makes for a lot of fun and a lot of growth."

But, even with the conflict and opposing opinions on specific topics, Bloom says he "wouldn’t change it for anything."

The 47-year-old heartthrob first linked with Perry in 2016, a time that he will never forget.

"One of the things that I fell in love with Katy was, like, I didn’t really—she hates when I say this, so I have to word it carefully—but her music was everywhere, right?" he said on the podcast. When I came up, it was just on every radio station, but I wasn’t conscious of it —like, it wasn’t what I was listening to."

He added, "But I fell in love with Katheryn, this girl from Santa Barbara - and by the way, parents, pastors, living on food stamps. We’re not talking glamorous, Montecito."

The 'Last Friday Night' singer has previously opened up about her childhood, growing up in a poor family and sometimes needing to use food banks.

"It’s like when Kanye does that for Kim, you’re like ‘Oh my god!’ and I was like ‘Oh my god!’ Anyways, it’s great. He’s great. I love him very much,” she added.

One year later, Perry announced she was pregnant. “I am excited. We’re excited and happy, and it’s probably the longest secret I’ve ever had to keep,” she said of the news, per the 'Today' show. “And I like to tell you guys everything, but I knew I would tell you in the best way, which is through a piece of music because that’s... I guess that’s how I speak to you. That’s how we speak together to each other.”
