Jessica Alba Terrified Sharks Would Kill Her While Filming Into the Blue  5/17/05

Jessica Alba risked her life on the Bahamas shoot for upcoming movie Into the Blue - because she was surrounded by deadly sharks all day. 

Sexy Alba was a quivering wreck every time she entered the tropical waters surrounding the sun-drenched islands, and was often required to undertake the daring task of punching sharks on the nose - in a desperate move to stave off potential attacks. However, the power of prayer helped Alba survive the scary scenes. 

She tells British magazine Empire, "I swam with violent sharks. Every day I prayed that I wouldn't die. And so every morning I told my grandmother to pray for me, to protect me from the sharks. "I had to punch a couple of the sharks right on the nose. You punch them on the nose and it redirects them. But trust me, it's terrifying."
