Will Ferrell Plays In The Wild With Bear Grylls


Next time some celebrity complains about the four hours of interviews they have to do with reporters while sitting in a luxury hotel room being catered to by a group of sycophants, think about what Will Ferrell was willing to do. Will is going to appear on Bear Grylls show Man vs Wild set to air in June.

Will and Bear already completed their adventure which Will did to promote his new movie. What did they do? They spent some time in Sweden this past winter. Yep. Subzero weather, out in the middle of nowhere. They rappelled down a hundred-foot frozen waterfall and tandem abseiled off a helicopter.

But, the fun doesn't stop there. They also made their own snow shoes and drank their own urine. Yes, you heard me right. In order to promote a movie, Will was willing to drink his own urine. I'm guessing there are probably not that many actors willing to go that far to make an extra buck or two for their movie.

Ferrell called the trip, "a thrill of a lifetime, although I did get urine drunk, which is sad."
