A man will do just about anything when braving the frozen tundra. And for an upcoming episode of the Discovery Channel series Man vs. Wild, Will Ferrell even drank urine.
Joining Bear Grylls for 48 hours in Sweden's ice-bound mountain ranges, Ferrell tandem-abseiled off a helicopter, rappelled down hundred-foot frozen waterfalls and made snow shoes from saplings.
"To be able to participate in an episode of Man vs. Wild was a thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine-drunk, which is sad," Ferrell said.
The interesting drink choice was paired with a meal of reindeer eyeballs.
"Will did an amazing job in subzero, very unforgiving conditions," Grylls said. "He should be very proud of how he performed." He added to Variety: "He trusted me when it mattered and we survived."
Ferrell's episode of Man vs. Wild will air the first week of June on Discovery, coinciding with his Land of the Lost debut, which hits theaters June 5.
You can check out Bear's take on filming the episode here. I'm so glad his shoulder has mended and the show is back (even if only for one episode)! I miss it when it's gone. :o(
And in other Discovery channel news, their show Time Warp will air a special 1-hour episode on Arpil 29th featuring Metallica. I know my brother-in-law loves both the show and the band so I thought I'd be a kind sister and throw it out there for him. Set your TiVo, Wade!
