Man VS. Wild should be called Brokeback Mountain VS. Wild

The hotness that is JAKE GYLLENHAAL and BEAR GRYLLS are going on a pee drinking excursion into the wild! I’m so excited about this, and Kelsie is sitting here with me and just had a panic attack. She couldn’t even form full sentences (true story). “abuh… premier… Jake Gyllenhaal…. season premier…. WHAT?!

“For two days, Bear and Jake embark on a survival experience neither will forget, to an Icelandic landscape dominated by mountains, huge glaciers and some of Europe’s most active volcanoes. Jake will have to go where Bear goes, eat whatever Bear eats, and on occasion even take the lead, if he’s going to cope with some of the worst conditions known to man. “For me, it’s all about discovery,” said Gyllenhaal.

Said Bear about the experience, “The wild is always very revealing – not only physically but mentally. You’ve got to smile when it’s driving horizontal hail and be able to face your fears and just get on and do it — and on both of those accounts, Jake came up strong.”

Bear revealed: “A couple of weeks ago I took Jake Gyllenhaal, reportedly the fittest man in Hollywood, on a Born Survivor to Iceland. He said he wanted to to be pushed and afterwards said he’d never been pushed so hard.

He went on: “We had crazy conditions – sleeping in snow caves, huge river crossings and these torrential storms. I was a little bit nervous as I promised Jake’s management team I would keep him alive, but he was brilliant.

“There’s something magical about the raw emotion of fear and nerves. I think that’s what people like about the show.”

OH MAN. Crazy. That’s so much hotness I can’t even handle it. Last season he had Will Ferrell on, which was pretty hilarious. If you haven’t watched that episode, go YouTube it or something. But Jake should be pretty great. The show premiers on July 11 so don’t miss it!
