An American surf star is facing backlash over his dramatic account of watching an iconic filmmaker die in a gruesome shark attack.
Keith Malloy, recalled on the 'Lay It On' podcast the moment he watched renowned movie director Adam Strange get 'chomped' to death by a shark in New Zealand.
Hundreds of angry commenters shared their 'disbelief' with the story, which some described as 'ludicrous' due to the dramatic details.
But the tragic events he described all happened back in 2013, with Strange famously mauled by the predator before coastguard teams with guns responded.
Malloy told host Brad Leone how he witnessed the horrific catastrophe while swimming near his trendy New Zealand beach home.
