Overview
- An exclusive clip from Tuesday, June 9, obtained by Us Weekly, showed Colman Domingo becoming emotional on Fox’s Bear Grylls Is Running Wild while talking about his parents.
- Domingo said his mother and stepfather both died in 2006 and that he feels they ‘live with you’ and ‘are flying with me’ as his career continues.
- He framed the moment as part of his rise from inner-city West Philadelphia and said he does not take his achievements for granted.
- Producers and Bear Grylls say the series’ 48-hour wilderness format prompts more open conversations than studio interviews, and the season features other high-profile guests used in promotional clips.
- The clip has been republished by outlets such as Geo News and BOL News, serving both as human-interest coverage and promotion for Fox’s season 9 and highlighting Domingo’s public profile from roles like Euphoria and Michael.
