Left shark’s real name is Bryan Gaw, at the time he’d been dancing with Perry for five years.
“So there’s a set choreography,” he told NPR.
“There’s also what’s called free-style choreography, or, like, you get to move around or play your character as a dancer.”
Gaw said he decided to lean into the “maximum goofy” side of his character.
“I’m in a 7-foot blue shark costume. There’s no cool in that,” he said.
“So what’s the other option? Well, I’m gonna play a different character.”
