Bear Grylls Takes Celebrities Off the Grid in New FOX Series: ‘You Get to See the Real People’
McConaughey joins Grylls for a 48-hour survival trek that includes candid conversations and an unusual meal in the wilderness.
- On Tuesday, April 21, survival expert Bear Grylls launched season nine of *Bear Grylls Is Running Wild* on FOX, featuring actor Matthew McConaughey on a 48-hour journey through Norway's secluded glacial alpine wilderness.
- The series drops well-known figures into remote wilderness for 48 hours without phones or teams, forcing guests to leave their entourage and discuss personal struggles, Grylls said.
- During the excursion, Grylls offered McConaughey reindeer testicles, which the actor consumed in stride while joking about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and rating the meal "six out of 10."
- Previously, McConaughey stepped back from his "autopilot" rom-com career after rejecting a $14.5 million movie offer, choosing instead to move to his Texas ranch to pursue serious acting roles.
- Beyond physical challenges, the show promotes resilience, with Grylls noting the outdoors serves as a "great reflection of life," teaching viewers to be a "never-give-upper" facing adversity.
