Bear Grylls takes prolific superstar and venerated actor Benedict Cumberbatch on an adventure across the Isle of Skye
Bear surprised Benedict with a mission extraction aboard a British Royal Navy nuclear submarine that surfaced off Scotland's Isle of Skye. "It was positively James Bond-like." The team was given specific timing along with latitude and longitude points off the icy Scottish waters. Bear had to show up bang on time or miss the ride, all while keeping the meeting a secret from him.
Benedict's grandfather was a World War II submariner and it was emotional for him to catch a glimpse of the life he led. "Benedict had no idea. He thought we were going to the mainland, but suddenly the Royal Marines showed up."
