Actor and all around hottie Jake Gyllenhaal will appear on the upcoming season premiere of the Discovery Channel series Man Vs. Wild starring wildman Bear Grylls and today we get to check out a few promo photos from the season premiere. Bear takes Jake to the magical environs of Iceland … and it looks like the guys have a great time exploring together. Check out the photos below.

Bear Grylls has survived in some of the most dangerous places on Earth. From jungles to deserts and from Everest to Antarctica, he travels to places where you couldn’t last a day without the right survival skills. To kick off a run of all-new episodes of MAN VS WILD on Monday, July 11 from 9-10PM ET/PT, Bear brings along a companion – actor Jake Gyllenhaal. MAN VS WILD will test how Gyllenhaal measures up to unpredictable and unforgiving Mother Nature. For two days, Bear and Jake embark on a survival experience neither will forget, to an Icelandic landscape dominated by mountains, huge glaciers and some of Europe’s most active volcanoes. Jake will have to go where Bear goes, eat whatever Bear eats, and on occasion even take the lead, if he’s going to cope with some of the worst conditions known to man. “For me, it’s all about discovery,” said Gyllenhaal. Said Bear about the experience, “The wild is always very revealing – not only physically but mentally. You’ve got to smile when it’s driving horizontal hail and be able to face your fears and just get on and do it — and on both of those accounts, Jake came up strong.”

Woot!! This sounds like an awesome ep! I must admit, despite my love for Bear Grylls (and his oft shirtlessness), I don’t watch too much Man Vs. Wild. Now that I know that Jakey poo will appear in the season premiere next month, I’ll be tuning in for sure ;) They should rename the ep, Hot Men in Iceland. Again, I say, Woot!!
