United States President Donald Trump seemingly does not have a thing for sharks as he is 'terrified' of them.

Adult film actress, Stormy Daniels, in an In Touch magazine interview conducted in 2011 revealed president's odd fascination with sharks.

According to Daniels, she once met Trump for a date in his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

"You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching Shark Week and he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history," Daniels said, "He is obsessed with sharks.

Terrified of sharks. He was like, 'I donate to all these charities and I would never donate to any charity that helps sharks. I hope all the sharks die.' He was like riveted. He was like obsessed. It's so strange, I know," reported the Huffington Post.

In Touch magazine printed its full 2011 interview with Daniels on Friday.

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, became the center of attention last week when allegations of an affair between Trump and Daniels surfaced in a Wall Street Journal article.

Last week, The Wall Street Journal reported that a Trump lawyer had arranged a $130,000 payment to Clifford in October 2016 to keep quiet about their relationship.

Both Clifford and Trump's legal team have since denied the affair and the payment, the report said.
