Will Ferrell (yes, that Will Ferrell) joins Bear Grylls for episode of Man vs. Wild

Actor-comedian Will Ferrell recently braved some frigid conditions in Sweden while joining Bear Grylls for a taping of the popular Discovery Channel show Man vs. Wild. Ferrell called the experience, which included rappelling down frozen waterfalls and drinking his own urine in the remote mountains of Sweden, "the thrill of a lifetime," although he notes that he "did get urine-drunk, which is sad."

So how did Frank the Tank handle the harsh conditions? According to Bear Grylls, pretty well. Said Grylls: "Will did an amazing job in subzero, very unforgiving conditions. He trusted me when it mattered, and we survived. ... He should be very proud of how he performed."

The episode will air in early June, just before the release of Ferrell's upcoming movie Land of the Lost.
