The video stunned not only the netizens but also other celebrities from the industry. American rapper 2 Chainz commented “Helllll naw(sic)” in complete disbelief. 

And Bloom’s fiancée Katy Perry also wrote jokingly: “Next time go out and put some peanut butter on babe.” 

While many of Bloom’s fans also found the actor’s move to be very ‘Wild’. A user wrote: “Omg that’s insane!” Another wrote: “wow!! Amazing”. 

Many also praised the actor for showing the sharks, whose numbers have been decreasing in recent years. “Thank you for co-existing with sharks,” a user wrote. “One of the most beautiful and misunderstood fish of the ocean,” another commented. 

“Don’t eat shark fin soup. There should be a ban on finning sharks. Humans kill millions of sharks a year to use them in soup, dog food and cosmetics. It must end,” a third user quipped. 

Now, the Hollywood actor promotes ocean conservation and coastal clean-up campaigns starting on September 18.   

“The beauty of the ocean is indefinable. We’re lucky to enjoy such a magnificent part of our planet, which is why it’s up to us to care and protect it,” he wrote, adding: “Join @OceanConservancy’s #InternationalCoastalCleanup! Starting September 18 keep our oceans trash free by forming a crew, selecting a location and cleaning up. Visit the link in bio for more information. It’s our responsibility to provide a healthy ocean for the future. #ConnectandCollect”.
