Nah man! It doesn't matter that he was maxin' and relaxin' by a pool somewhere, he's still insanely badass for fighting, using, abusing and then eating live animals. The man is not afraid of having painful shits.
"Have had a bit of an epic on the last two shoots in Mexico and the deep southern swamps!
First, I got whopped by a bee whilst raiding a bee's nest to get honey. Hence the photo here (although I did get the honey!).
But it meant that I had to spend the rest of the shoot looking like this, feeling terrible and only able to open my eyes with much effort.
It made fighting a big pit viper rattlesnake interesting! (Although I did eventually get it. I then could eat it and use its skin to store my urine whilst in the burning hot salt pan desert. (The cocktail of snake innards and pee was truly terrible!)
I was then in the swamps -- these are always the toughest shows to do -- and I did end up having a pretty full-on encounter with a 6-foot alligator.
I came out on top, just, skinned it for cordage for my camp to sleep in, rubbed the alligator fat on me for mosquito repellant and then ate it.
In short, I am looking forward to a bit of a holiday with my family next week!

He wasn't really in the wild, but if his show was called "Bear Grylls does insane stunts and eats some crazy shit, a lot", then the grief would be unfounded.
