ORLANDO Bloom has praised the UK's National Health Service for saving his life after he broke his back in a horrifying fall.
The Hollywood actor, 43, told how he fell from a third floor window while studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in the UK in 1988.
Katy Perry's fiance paid tribute to the NHS in an Instagram message and urged his 3.8m followers to show their own support by staying home during the coronavirus crisis.
Orlando wrote: "The NHS saved my life when I was 20 after I fell from a 3rd floor window and broke my back."Having lived in the US for nearly 20 years now it's one of the public services from home I respect the most."
His words came alongside a clip of the NHS which featured the plea: "Stay home save lives."
The UK is also following self isolation and social distancing measures, like the US, in the battle against the deadly bug.
Orlando was born in Canterbury in the UK, before moving to Hollywood when his film career kicked off.
