Richard Branson admits that, while delighted with his laser eye surgery, he swam into the mouth of a whale shark.
Although Sir Richard Branson was delighted with his laser eye surgery ââ¬â he said that it had him seeing perfectly again ââ¬â he still managed to accidentally swim into the mouth of a whale shark earlier this month.
I was swimming around one of these gentle giants off Cancun in Mexico ââ¬â and then, suddenly, I realised I had managed to get myself right inside it, the 61-year-old tycoon told me over breakfast at the ExCel Centre yesterday before the Virgin Active London Triathlon.
Whales sharks have got enormous mouths and this one just literally puffed me out. They are gigantic, but gentle. I think the story of Jonah most likely came from a whale shark. I can't really think of anything else living in the sea that could swallow you without also killing you.
