Bear Grylls sits down with HeyUGuys to discuss The Chosen in the Wild, the new series that takes stars from The Chosen out of their comfort zones and into some of the world’s most breathtaking wilderness. During our conversation, which we conducted virtually, Bear explains why he still loves adventure after decades of exploring the planet, while revealing why he’s such a huge fan of The Chosen. He also opens up about spending time with Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in the hugely popular show.
Grylls also discusses the emotional weight Jonathan carries in portraying such an iconic figure, how the wilderness creates honest conversations, and why nature continues to strengthen his own faith.
