The Irukandji jellyfish are one of the most dangerous beings on the planet. And now they are swarming the waters of Fraser Island on Australia’s northern coast. This happens to be where the movie “Fool’s Gold” is being shot. The movie is starring Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey.
“The ones we were catching weren’t any bigger than your thumbnail. They’ve got tentacles that are probably a half to three quarters of a metre long, and pretty much transparent. So unless you really know what you’re looking for, you’re not going to see them in the water.”
These little fuckers have held up the shoot. I think Matthew needs to put on his cowboy hat, dip his balls in the water, and show these jellyfish who’s boss.
Oh yeah… Al Gore should add this to his environmental report:
Increased sea temperatures caused by global warming would extend the species’ range south, Dr Seymour said. But the tourism industry said it would be alarmist and premature to warn tourists of the new threat to their safety.
