Miles Teller: Yes, I Saved a Pregnant Woman from a Shark

Miles Teller appeared a guest on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon Thursday night.


And while the actor was on hand to talk about the film War Dogs, the questions quickly turned to a crazy old story about Teller.


Did he really save a pregnant woman from a shark attack?!?


His girlfriend had posted a photo (below) on Instagram of Teller taking this heroic action, talking about the tale on social media and causing many to wonder what the heck happened.



Teller backed up the story, throwing a few jabs at co-star Jonah Hill along the way because Hill had previously been a Tonight Show guest during the week.


The young actor said a woman went up to him several weeks ago and warned him not to be “alarmed,” but… well… there’s a shark swimming around.


This woman had an infant with her and was also pregnant.


"So that"s three people right there" that I saved, Teller said.


(He then made an abortion crack.)



"So, did you then yell SHARK?" Fallon asked, concerned about others in the water.


"Jimmy, I"m saving a life, I don"t have that kind of time," Teller responded with a laugh, adding:


"Obviously, you"ve never saved a life before."


Teller was in great spirits and mostly joking around during the interview, but it"s also easy to see how some folks think he comes across like a dick.


Does he think Jonah Hill would have been capable of the same life-saving maneuver than he execute? HA! No way.


Watch the exchange with Fallon below and see how you feel about Teller afterward:
