Bruce the shark speaks to The Daily JAWS!

He may be the reason you stay out of the water but @bruceshark5 is also one of the funniest accounts on Twitter! After a hard day chomping, the most famous fish in the world sat down and spoke with The Daily Jaws.

TDJ: Hey Bruce, how have you been?   

Bruce: Pretty excellent, got my appetite back, and swimmin' free.

TDJ: What’s it like being the most famous shark in the history of the world? 

Bruce: Most of the time, imma happy Shark, and i remind myself that i can always swim away should the celebrity life get to be too much. Most fans are jawsome.

TDJ: At the end of JAWS, Chief Brody blew your head off. Was that as painful as it looked and have you and the Chief made up yet? 

Bruce: It really was painful....and we didn't get it on the first take, so.... I went thru that a couple times. Chief and I were professionals, and played cards and had beers that very day.... no hard feelings, that's the JOB.

TDJ: Out of all the things you ate, which was your favourite and why? 

Bruce: Fins down, Quint. He was loud and fought back, but he was soaked in Apricot Brandy...so he was DELISHHHUUUSSS.

TDJ: Do you regret any of the people you’ve eaten? If so / not… Why?

Bruce: I feel bad about the Kintner Kid. Honestly, i thought that yellow thing he was on was a submarine sammie. From down here, things floating on the water look different. Sorry, again.

TDJ: Is there anyone / thing you wish you’d got to eat but didn’t get the chance to? If so, why?

Bruce: Besides my weekly complaint that craft services never had enough fish tacos, i pretty much ate what I wanted.

TDJ: Do you keep in touch with any of the cast and crew? 

Yep. Pretty much everyone, even Steven Spielberg. We all get together a few times a year, reminiscing and playing cards. Watch Steven, he cheats at poker.

TDJ: Why do you choose Amity Island? 

Bruce: It's RIGHT THERE....ample seals, lotsa fish,  usually pretty friendly folks. Amity means.... FRIENDSHIP 

TDJ: Any advice to fledgling sharks out there looking to bring a little mayhem to summer towns needing summer dollars?

Bruce: Show up ready to eat but be warned: Humans are always loud and frequently panicky.  Also, for years I've wanted to clear up The Pipit Dog Thing. No footage exists of me eating a dog. Pipit ran away from excessive stick throwing, and lived a long happy beach dog life down the coast.

TDJ: Where can people find and follow you? 

Bruce: My very obvious dorsal fin and theme music pretty much announces my presence, but i can be found swimmin' here on twitter, @BruceShark5. And any place there's good burritos and fish tacos.
