Katy
Perry's spectacular halftime show at the Super Bowl has been somewhat
overshadowed by her unusual choice in backing dancers.
The
two dancers dressed in shark costumes have won their own league of fans
after their awkward moves and depressed expressions went viral.
Perry's
performance of her hits California Girls and Teenage Dreams saw her
appear with dancing palms, beach balls, surf board and sharks.
Today,
dancer Bryan Gaw came forward to admit he was the shark on the left -
posting a picture saying 'Yep. The rumors are true. Yours truly.'
While
fellow dancer Scott Myrick said he was the shark on the right, adding
he had only one minute and 30 seconds to change into the costume.

However,
the shark costumes did not lend themselves very well to dancing, which
saw the two dancers making stilted, flailing moves.
While
Scott was on the right, at one point during the performance Bryan
appeared to lose track of the choreography leaving it out of time with
him.
But Scott told how manic the show was, writing on reddit:
'Yes I was the shark!!!!!! I dance for Katy on her prismatic world tour
and have been with her for 5 years! I danced as a gingerbread man in
her first tour the California dreams tour. And also her big purple cat,
kitty purry.
'I was actually a horse chest piece in dark horse and had to change into the shark costume in 1:30 seconds. It was nuts!'
He
said the 'visibility was terrible...I ran into a palm tree but the
camera missed', adding: 'This is just another day in KP land'
