Published in German weekly “Bild am Sonntag” recently told its readers about the heroic Kevin costner, who saved his wife
Christine Baumgarten from sharks. Journalists described the story very beautifully: “Kevin and Christine decided to have a little swim
off the coast of Santa Barbara with scuba diving. Costner and suddenly saw a giant — like
the minimum four-meter — white
the man-eater. She opened wide
its horrible toothy jaws and lunged at Christine. Kevin had no choice
how to push the wife aside and leap at the beast. He punched the monster in the nose and
he, surprisingly, ate actor, and preferred to retire…”

weekly bombarded the editors with letters, admiring the courage of the actor. Alas, to their extreme disappointment, costner acted with a refutation. 60-year-old actor admitted that he would be very flattered to be a hero but he still has to restore
the truth.

shark. Christine was surfing with one of our mutual friends. And suddenly she saw the back and fin of a huge fish, which is rapidly approaching
to her “Board”. Shark were going so fast that, once three feet from Christine, raised a wave. And, as the wife was near the surf, its this wave literally threw
ashore. Then my wife confessed that for a long time could not recover from
the horror. I, unfortunately,
was very far away — on the set in London, so could not help
Christine… ” said costner during a TV show on American
television.
