Colman Domingo Takes A Leap of Faith With Bear Grylls

Oscar nominee Colman Domingo has officially conquered his fears and added a daring new skill to his repertoire, taking his very first leap into the unknown from eleven thousand feet. This heart-stopping moment happened during the filming of an episode for the extreme adventure reality series, "Bear Grylls is Running Wild." Domingo, known for his captivating performances on screen, faced a challenge far removed from the red carpet and the soundstage.

The actor, who is fifty-six years old, joined adventurer Bear Grylls for a 48-hour expedition that pushed celebrities to their limits in some of the world's most challenging environments. The series, which premiered in April, has previously seen other stars like Matthew McConaughey and Tiffany Haddish tackle extreme conditions. For Domingo, the ultimate test of courage was stepping out of a plane, an experience he had never undertaken before.

As the aircraft ascended to the precise altitude for their daring descent, Domingo's initial nerves became apparent, a relatable moment for anyone facing a first-time thrill of this magnitude. Grylls, with his characteristic calm demeanor, asked Domingo if he had ever jumped before, to which the actor responded with a clear "no," prompting Grylls' lighthearted, yet ominous, jest about potential mishaps. The tension built as they neared the jump point, with Domingo confessing, "I think we're high enough," accompanied by a nervous chuckle.

Despite the palpable apprehension, Domingo found a way to psych himself up for the plunge, offering a determined smile and telling himself, "I'm going to love it." This inner pep talk proved effective, as the moment they exited the aircraft, his nerves appeared to vanish amidst the rush of free fall. Both Domingo and Grylls were captivated by the breathtaking aerial views stretching out before them, a reward for their bravery.

Once their parachutes deployed, offering a sense of relief and a new perspective, Domingo was heard exclaiming, "Those are the wilds, man," a clear indication of the profound impact the experience had on him. His full episode airs on Tuesday, June ninth, at nine P.M. Eastern Time on Fox, showcasing not only his courage but also his appreciation for the raw beauty of nature. Other notable guests this season include Machine Gun Kelly, Uma Thurman and Elizabeth Banks, all seeking the transformative power of extreme environments. Bear Grylls himself noted that these celebrities are not driven by fame or fortune, but by a desire for the unique experiences the wilderness provides.
