Mick Fanning is not impressed with KFC’s new ad parodying his shark attack.
The video sees a surfer, who looks remarkably similar to Fanning, wrestle with a shark before using it as a prop while he surfs the waves.
The KFC ad was shot and produced by 7Films in Melkbos, Cape Town, and promotes the Jacked Up Double Crunch Meal, (only available in South Africa) which is described as ‘Next Level Awesome’.
Fanning and his mother clearly don’t think it’s awesome.
According to the BBC, Elisabeth Osborne called it ‘disrespectful’ and said it brings back haunting memories of the shark attack in July 2007 when Mick was surfing in Jeffreys Bay.
