A Hollywood actor from Pirates of the Caribbean and Blue Crush tragically died in a suspected shark attack near Oahu’s North Shore. The 49-year-old surfer was found with severe injuries and pronounced dead at the scene, shocking both Hollywood and the surf community.
Honolulu Mayor Rick Blangiardi called him a courageous spirit, while his wife, Emilia Perry, shared, “He loved the ocean with his whole heart. It’s devastating that it took him from us.”
Co-stars and surfers remembered him as fearless and inspiring. A surfer friend described him as “a legend in the water,” while others praised his charisma and love for life.
The family plans a Hawaii memorial. Emilia said, “He was larger than life, leaving behind a legacy of courage and joy.” His adventurous spirit will continue to inspire many.
Happy 70th Birthday to the one and only Reba McEntire, the queen of country music, born on this day in 1955.

If you haven’t seen it yet, buckle up — it’s pure magic.
