Steven Spielberg
Legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg is well-known for his cinematic masterpiece “Jaws”. He revealed a surprising regret related to the impact of his film on people’s perception of sharks. During an appearance on the BBC’s Desert Island Discs, Spielberg expressed remorse for the negative consequences his film had on the shark population.
Spielberg explained that he regretted the decimation of the shark population. The reason is the feeding frenzy of sport fishermen that followed the release of “Jaws.” He emphasized his concern not about being eaten by a shark but about the harm caused to sharks by the film’s portrayal. This unexpected admission shed light on the director’s environmental regret associated with his iconic work.
