Katy Perry's Left Shark has been revealed at last
Following Katy Perry’s halftime show at the 2015 Super Bowl, people couldn’t stop talking about Left Shark, the spasmodically dancing shark standing to Katy Perry’s right during a portion of her performance. Why had Left Shark been unable to sync with Right Shark? Had Left Shark been confused, or forgotten the choreography? Was Left Shark in hiding? And most importantly: who was Left Shark? Eventually, however, people decided they could stop talking about Left Shark, and went on talking about one of the many other things you can talk about besides Left Shark. Yet still, these key questions remained unsatisfactorily answered—until today. In a bombshell report, NPR’s David Greene has found Left Shark and revealed his true identity: some guy.
Yes, it turns out that Left Shark is in fact not a shark at all, but actually just some guy in a shark costume. More specifically, that guy is Bryan Gaw, a former backup dancer for Perry who is now some guy who works as a hairstylist in Los Angeles. Gaw worked for Perry for five years, but left the road about a year ago.
