THE DIARY

He trekked across the Alaskan wilderness with Obama... and now he’s secured a second world leader.

But adventurer Bear Grylls is keeping who it is under wraps.

“It’s not Donald Trump,” he is quick to note. “We’re taking another worldfamous president away on an adventure soon. Another amazing world ACTION MEN Putin and, above, Bear leader... current serving.”

Could it be action-man Russian President Vladimir Putin, who looked the part while foraging for mushrooms in khaki trousers and a hat during his hiking holiday in Siberia over the summer? Or perhaps the term “president” is a red herring and it’s actually North Korea’s Supreme Leader Kim Jong-un. He would finally be able to showcase his incredible talents as a sailor and maybe even teach Bear how his dad, Kim Jong-il, calibrated his body so he never had to use the toilet? A useful skill in a hostile environment, though Bear drinks his.

Or perhaps following in Obama’s footsteps will be more appealing to Canada’s Justin Trudeau, France’s Emmanuel Macron or our very own Theresa May?

“I’m not jinxing this one,” says Bear, speaking as he launched his €20million attraction, The Bear Grylls Adventure, at Birmingham’s NEC. “It’s going to be amazing.”
