On a recent episode of ‘The Jonathan Ross Show‘, survival expert Bear Grylls appeared as a guest and took the opportunity to teach Jonathan Ross some self-defense and survival skills. The episode, which aired on [Air Date], was filled with excitement and laughter as the two personalities shared their experiences and insights.
Bear Grylls is renowned for his expertise in wilderness survival, and he did not disappoint during his appearance on the talk show. Dressed in a smart suit, which is a rare sight for him, Bear looked great and was ready to share his knowledge with Jonathan and the audience.
As the conversation started, Jonathan Ross, ever the joker, couldn’t resist commenting on Bear’s outfit. Bear admitted that he doesn’t often wear a suit, but he wanted to step out of his comfort zone for the show. However, he confessed that he didn’t feel completely comfortable in it, jokingly referring to it as a “Zone,” rather than a suit.
The conversation quickly turned to Bear’s age, as Jonathan surprised him by revealing that Bear turned 40 last year. Bear, trying to downplay the milestone, jokingly said that he still finds it difficult and is in slight denial. He even mentioned his plan to wait until he turns 43 to have a big birthday party and hope everyone believes it’s his 40th.
The discussion then shifted to Bear’s recently concluded series, ‘Mission Survive’. The show featured a group of celebrities, including Mike Tindall, Kelly Holmes, and a few members of the Fox Family, who were put through challenging survival situations. Jonathan asked Bear if he could tell by looking at someone if they have what it takes to survive. Bear explained that it’s impossible to predict how someone will perform under pressure until they face real-life survival situations.
Jonathan also shared his personal experience being taken out into the wild by Bear, stating that the crew initially thought he wouldn’t be able to endure the challenges. However, Jonathan surprised them by proving them wrong and coming out on top. Bear commended Jonathan for his resilience and resourcefulness, emphasizing that appearances can be deceiving.
The conversation then moved on to Bear’s upcoming series, ‘The Island’, which will feature members of the public testing their survival skills. Bear revealed that the new season includes both men and women, as the previous season was focused on exploring modern masculinity. He wanted to demonstrate that women are just as capable of handling challenging wilderness scenarios.
Bear explained the harsh conditions the participants faced, including the lack of resources and having to film everything themselves. Many people doubted whether they would be able to endure, but they proved their resilience and inspired viewers with their tenacity.
During a lighthearted section of the interview, Jonathan and Bear discussed Bear’s remote home. Bear lives on a wild and remote island off the coast of Wales. Showing pictures of his isolated residence, Jonathan joked that it looked like a jail. Bear explained that the island lacks mains electricity and running water, relying on solar panels and rainwater collection. The conversation took a humorous turn as they discussed the absence of modern luxuries like hair dryers.
As the interview drew to a close, Jonathan became curious about learning self-defense in everyday situations. Bear obliged and taught him a simple move using a banana as a prop. Bear emphasized the importance of being smart and avoiding fights whenever possible. However, he demonstrated a defensive move to turn an attack into a counter-attack, focusing on sensitive areas like the throat and nose.
The episode ended on a high note, with Jonathan Ross playfully engaging in the self-defense demonstration, ensuring an entertaining and educational segment for the audience.
Bear Grylls‘ appearance on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show‘ was filled with excitement, humor, and valuable insights into survival skills. From talking about his TV series to sharing his own experiences, Bear’s appearance was a perfect blend of entertainment and education.
