Jake Gyllenhaal is putting his life on the line on the season premiere of Man vs. Wild with Bear Gryllis on Monday (July 11) on the Discovery Channel. Jake puts his fears aside to go across the Icelandic canyon. It just seems like Jake is really one of those amazing guys out there. He makes everyone laugh, is brave, makes good movies, is adventurous, is smart…and well…I could think of a million more things to say about him.

For six episodes, Jake tags along with Bear. Bear said this about Jake: “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.”
