E! personality and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest claims he was bitten by a shark over the weekend in shallow Pacific Ocean water.

The “American Idol” host said he was “about eight feet out” when he felt something swim by him.“I thought it was a stick,” he said. “I wasn’t sure what had happened.”

Then, he said, “I saw it swim! He took a bite, and he left.”

Seacrest, 33, said the shark’s tooth “wasn’t a great thing to find. It was like finding a splinter!”

The petite Seacrest was more likely bit by a miniature sea turtle.   Maybe a baby shark did attempt to take a bite out of his sassy Speedo.
