Alex Hayes is best known for the snap he clicked with a shark in the background. The photo went viral and earned him many followers and attention. Initially, Hayes presented the picture and also wrote about his experience of surfing when he spotted the shark. Most of his followers believed the picture to be true and appreciated him for posing daringly with a shark. But few days later, a similar picture surfaced on the internet which showed a shark swimming closer to the surface. When Hayes was interviewed by the news.com.au, he revealed that the picture he posted with shark was fake, and he was only having a good laugh. In addition to this, he also stated that it was quite obvious from the start that the picture was just a funny photo. He also never believed that the snap would be circulated so much by the public. The Australian media which lauded Hayes for his courageous act of clicking a picture with the shark slammed him for fooling people. One of the media outlets even stated that Hayes might not be good with sharks, but he’s good with Photoshop.

Despite posting a fake picture and getting exposed by the media, Hayes has a huge fan-following on social media. His YouTube channel contains videos of his tours and adventures.
