Ben Stiller Going Into The Wild

3 months ago 12th Aug 15:00

Ben Stiller is following in the footsteps of his pal Will Ferrell - he's signed up to appear alongside British adventurer Bear Grylls in an upcoming episode of his Man vs. Wild series.
 
Ferrell spent 48 hours in the frozen Swedish wilderness learning how to stay alive against the odds with the former military survival expert, and even drank his own urine - a regular survival tip from Grylls on his hit show.
 
And Ferrell's experiences convinced the Zoolander star to sign up for a similar challenge - he's set to feature in an upcoming episode later this year (09).

Stiller is taking time out of his busy schedule to take part in the show as 2009 has been a busy year for the actor so far.

He topped the box office back in June with the release of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian, which saw him reprise the role of Larry Daley.

The Marc Pease Experience is another release due for the actor later this year.  He is currently filming Little Focker, the third time he had played Greg Focker.

The movie sees Robert de Niro, Teri Polo and Owen Wilson are all set to  return to the movie that will be released in 2011.
