“Actually, a shark. I did Shark Week, and I almost died. Some genius who built the cage had an opening this big. I saw it but I didn’t think about it, and when I realized it, the shark was coming toward the thing and I thought he looks like he’s coming in. And when he came in, I just stayed at the bottom.
