Every dog has its day, and that day was June 9 for Orlando Bloom’s pooch.
Bloom stopped by TODAY to discuss his new movie, “Deep Cover,” only for his dog, Biggie Smalls, to upstage him.
Savannah Guthrie was asking Bloom about his acting career when the pup began barking off-camera.
“Oh my God. We have to introduce somebody. He’s like looking for attention,” Bloom said. The camera then shifted to his dog being held by Dakota Johnson, who was on the show to talk about her film, “Materialists,” with her co-star Chris Evans.
“Your dog has found a new owner,” joked Savannah before Bloom revealed the dog’s name.
“He would never bark. He’s almost like, ‘Wait — Dad’s over there?’ I love it,” Bloom said.
“Dakota is stealing the dog. I love it,” he added.
The actor said that his pup usually “keeps quiet as a mouse” but that he was probably having “separation anxiety” at the moment.
Savannah tried to steer the interview back on track, but the pooch kept barking, so she suggested Johnson bring Biggie Smalls over to them.
“I’m just the babysitter,” she said as she carried Biggie Smalls to Bloom. “I’m just the nanny.”
She handed him over to Bloom, who thanked Johnson before she walked away.
“Only on live TV,” he added.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor, who got a tattoo in honor of his late dog, Mighty, said Biggie Smalls is a teacup poodle.
“He’s so cute,” Savannah said.
“He’s my emotional support animal,” Bloom said with a laugh.
The interview then continued, with Bloom discussing another one of his upcoming movie, “The Cut,” and Biggie Smalls once again barked.
“He’s really enjoying his moment,” he said.
“I was about to say: diva,” quipped Savannah, who added the animal had “a face for stardom.”
As the interview drew to a close, Savannah thanked Bloom and his dog.
“Biggie, come back anytime,” she said.
At the beginning of Johnson and Evans’ segment, Craig Melvin asked Johnson about what had transpired with Biggie Smalls.
“It’s just what I do. I’m here for the people,” she said.
