Jake Gyllenhaal Put in Life-Threatening Situation on Man vs Wild
On the season premier of the Man vs. Wild this week on the Discovery Channel, Brokeback Mountain filmstar Jake Gyllenhal and the show’s host Bear Grylls were made to face the snow-covered mountains of Iceland during a severe blizzard.
The actor, whose name has been splashed in tabloids recently for having flirted with House actress Olivia Wilde, risks his life on the popular TV series alongside danger-loving Grylls.
“Ultimate Survivor” Grylls is heard shouting tips to Gyllenhaal such as “Pace yourself!” and “Shake the blood back into your arms whenever you need to!” as the pair scale across a thin rope hung over a 150 feet deep river gorge.

The action-packed episode also included Grylls and Gyllenhaal lowering themselves into a hole where the carcass of a dead sheep was found. Although the meat was deemed unfit, protein was had when Gyllenhaal consumed his first worm toward the end of the episode.
The show also had actor/comedian Will Ferrel guest star and is said to have signed Ben Stiller on an episode later in the year.
This is the seventh season of Man vs. Wild.
