Actor Tamayo Perry Had Eerie Warning About ‘Sharky’ Spot Before Fatal Attack
Tamayo Perry always had a cautious fascination with sharks.
A professional surfer and lifeguard who grew up on the beaches of Oahu, Hawaii—and whose talent and local celebrity yielded appearances in Pirates of the Caribbean and Blue Crush—he often posted online about sharks and shark attacks.
In July 2015, he mused on Facebook about the infamous moment surfer Mick Fanning was attacked by two sharks in South Africa. He described it as a “great indication” that Jesus’ mercy is “more then [sic] sufficient” before noting that scientists are unsure if sharks can identify color and that the apex predator cannot swim backyards.
